How to Add Movies to your Android Kids Tablets

As a parent, have you ever thought backup & convert your children's favorite movies onto Kids Tablets for unlimited playback? Recently, I have a lot of people ask me how to add movies to Android Kids Tablets so we can take them with us everywhere. Below the article I will leave written instructions and links to what I use to make this process work.

First of all, as children's parents, we perhaps need have some basic understanding for kids tablets, such as:

• Samsung: Galaxy Tab 3 Kids Edition
• Fuhu: DreamTab, Nabi Jr, Nabi 2, Nabi XD, Nabi
• Barnes & Noble: Nook HD+, Nook HD, Nook Color
• VTech: InnoTab 3S, InnoTab 3, InnoTab 2S, InnoTab 2, InnoTab
• Kurio: Kurio Touch, Kurio 7S, Kurio 10S, Kurio 4S, Kurio7
• Coby: Kyros MID1065, Kyros MID8065, Kyros MID7065, Kyros MID4331, Kyros MID9742
• Kobo: ARC 10HD, ARC 7HD, ARC 7
• Tesco Hudl, Tabeo e2, Meep! X2, ClickN Kids Tablet, Vivatar Camelio and many more...

Then I found a lot of questions about "how to move movies to Nabi 2 for my son?", "how to copy children's film to my Tesco Hudl?" by google searching, here is a scenario:

HOW TO COPY DVDs ONTO HUDL?

"Can anybody help please? I have just bought the Tesco Hudl for my young daughter and I wish to copy her DVD films onto the device. I believe it is Android, do I need to buy a DVD converter if so which one is best. Please help!!"

Answer: Yeah, your device is Android. To copy DVD onto Tesco Hudl, you do need a DVD converter. Many of such converters are available. Here are two free ones: Handbrake and Pavtube Free DVDAid.

Handbrake is open source software that provides an excellent quality of transcoded video. The program is also small in size albeit it is packed with great features that further improve synchronization and amazing video output quality.

• Pros: excellent video quality output; small in size; support multi-platform
• Cons: transcoding speed is slow; cannot deal with the protected DVD unless paired with another software
• OS: Windows XP, WindowsVista, Windows7

Pavtube Free DVDAid offers you a fun, easy and fabulous way to rip DVDs, the giveaway version has all the features of regular DVD Ripper except it cannot output as MP4 nor does it have specific output profiles for electronic devices, unless you paired with another free video converter software and convert output video to mp4 format. The free DVDAid can rip DVDs to MOV, MKV, AVI, MPG, VOB, WMV, FLV, etc. with fast speed and help edit DVD, add SRT/ASS/SSA subtitles to output movies.

• Pros: Easy to use; Editing features; Support dealing latest DVD disc
• Cons: Can't convert video to mp4 format
• OS: Windows XP/2003/Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 8.1

Then, you have to pay some money to buy a DVD Ripper that can decrypt and convert DVD.

If you are looking for ease of use and fast ripping tool, check out Pavtube's DVDAid, which is easy to use to crack and rip DVD to any Android Kids Tablet playable format. I tried several different rippers and find the Pavtube exports qualitified video with reasonable size. The audio/video synchronization is very good, the size of the subtitles too. And the time it takes to convert in this software is almost half that in other. If you're using a Mac, please turn to Mac DVD to Nabi tablet Converter, which lets you rip DVD movies for Nabi 2 Tablet on Mac (including Lion and Mountain Lion 10.8).

Best Blu-ray to H.264 MP4 Converter Review: Handbrake vs Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper

A comparison the better way of ripping protected commercial Blu-ray to H.264 MP4 format with Handbrake or Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper, so that you can playback Blu-ray on computer, smartphones, tablets or other devices.
Handbrake is a popular free software to help convert various video formats; many of us may have used it to backup DVD to H.264 for preserving or playback. In this article, we will test out the best solutions of ripping Blu-ray to H.264 MP4 using Handbrake or a top Blu-ray ripping tool like Pavtube BDMagic.

How to use Handbrake to rip Blu-ray to H.264 MP4 Video? 
   
Part 1. Handbrake workflow:

Step 1. Before starting the transcoding process with Handbrake, you need to use an unlocking software to break the Blu-ray's protection. In this case we chose AnyDVD, but no Mac version available atm. Besides just running AnyDVD and decrypt the whole disc to the hard drive first.

Step 2. Open up Handbrake. Make sure the High Profile is selected and then select Source -> Video File.

Step 3. Browse to the BDMV folder of your Blu-ray disc and inside the STREAM folder select the biggest m2ts file and click Open. 

Step 4. With the movie loaded it is time to set the output file by clicking Browse. The MP4 container should be already selected. Now in the picture tab you can set the output size. In this example we are keeping the full resolution so we selected Strict anamorphic. Open the Video tab and move to the next step.

Step 5. The codec we will use is of course H.264. Now a few words about the settings here. In this example I will use constant quality (1) with a 20 value. Constant quality is a faster encoding method than the traditional 2-pass option and tries to keep a constant quality on all your files, regardless of the movie length or content. That however means that you cannot know how big the file will be as it depends on the movie length, the CQ setting and the actual content. Usual values range from 18 to 26, with 18 being the "best" and 26 the "worse" quality. I am using this option for my mkv backups as I prefer to base my encoding on video quality and not file size.
Of course, you can always select the 2-pass option by setting a Target Size and enable 2-Pass Encoding. The Turbo first pass option will help you save some time without a slight decrease on quality so if you want to encode faster, select it as well. I suggest you give at least 4GB to your file if you are using 1080p and at least 2GB for 720p. If you go over 4GB select Large file size next to the MP4 container option. Now click the Audio tab.

Step 6. Here you have to select the audio track you want to add in the MP4 file. Selecting AC3 Passthru will actually make an AC3 track off your DTS audio as DTS is not supported by the MP4 format. You can also downmix to stereo AAC using Dolby Pro Logic II. 

Make sure you click Add track after selecting the right track and settings and that it appears in the list below. Then click Subtitles.

Step 7. Here you can add subtitle streams in your MP4 file. Unfortunately Handbrake does not support processing Blu-ray subs, so you keep to have them in SRT format. If you do, import them and then after setting the language and if you want them to appear by default, click add to add them to the list below.

Step 8. That's all. Just click the Start button at the top and a few hours later you will have a HD MP4 file.


It's somehow complex but acceptable as the best free solutions; now let's try with Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper to see how it works.

Part 2. How to use Pavtube BDMagic to rip Blu-ray to H.264 MP4 Video?

Step 1. Run Pavtube BDMagic; load Blu-rays.

It dose not only support loading both Blu-ray and DVD disc, but also support Blu-ray folder, Blu-ray ISO, DVD folder and DVD IFO/ISO files.

It seems during the importing, the disc would be decrypted already.

 

Step 2. Choose H.264 MP4 format.

Click the "Format" drop-down list and choose HD Video>H.264 HD Video(*.mp4). Or we can enter "H.264 MP4" in the small search box to quick locate matched presets. We can also choose presets like iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android and Windows 8 RT/Pro phoneS/tabletS, etc. for particularly using.

  

Step 3. Adjust target video specs (Optional)

Click "Settings" as bellow to check the source/target video size, bitrate, frame rate and other settings in one go; you will be able to know the target video size with different bitrate settings immediately.

Step 4. Start converting Blu-ray to H.264 MP4.

Now hit the big red "convert" to start the conversion. Wait for moments, we can hit "Open" or "Open output folder" to quick locate the converted video.

Conclusion:
Handbrake is a good free software; but it seems to be not easy-of-use especially for people who are not tech-savvy; also no Mac solution available. While Pavtuve Blu-ray Ripper works beautifully with easy-to-use interface and all-in-one workflow; it' should be a great choice and well worth the payment.

“I have a fetish for Backing up my 1080i Blu Ray contents, Backing up for my own use, not for Piracy.

Making digital copy of Blu-ray is a prevailing way to protect your Blu-ray collection from being scratched, or ruined by your little child. And it is also a good idea for someone who likes renting Blu-ray disc. Since it is restrict to return the Blu-ray disc in time, you can make a digital copy of Blu-ray and store in your hard device if you have little time to watch it before giving it back. In this way, you are free to watch it at any time.

To get it done, you may consider using free software like excellent Handbrake and MakeMKV. Using MakeMKV to remove any copy protection and region codes, and the resulting MKV file is further compressed with Handbreak. However, just as the above customer said at the beginning of the article, there are several Blu Ray Movies, that although they are converted, they will not be played well and screen remains just broken pixels. Further investigation proves the video format to be 1080 interlaced. The combination of Handbrake and MakeMKV is so redundant and cannot deal with 1080i Blu-ray properly. 

To find an easy-to-use tool to solve these problems, Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate deals with it fantastically. With easy workflow, it will help you to remove copy protection of Blu-ray and convert 1080i Blu-ray collection with great quality for further burning or playback.
