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). Just download the program and follow the guide below to rip videos from DVD discs to Nabi 2 for your children in just a few mouse clicks.

How to export Blu-ray/DVD content to Avid Media Composer with high-quality video for editing on Mac?

Want to convert contents from Blu-ray and DVD discs to a high-quality video format(like DNxHD mov) for editing in Avid Media Composer on Mac? Whatever you are novice and pro users, you can export Blu-ray/DVD to Avid Media Composer easily with Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac.

"Hi I'm an amateur video editor who wants to make some trailer or mash-up to improve my skills. I do own hundreds of Blu-ray and DVD discs but want to extract some clips out to Avid Media Composer for editing; high-quality video is my first choice. Is there any good software for this? Many thanks!"

To extract clips from Blu-ray and DVD disc is much different from playing back directly. Firstly, commercial DVD and Blu-ray are protected from copying, so you have to roll off disc protection firstly; then the format and quality issue.


The workflow seems to be complicated. However, with Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac I'm running, it can't be easier to get high quality DNxHD .mov file from BD/DVD.

Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac is the "All in one" Blu-ray ripping software, simple and easy to use with lot's of presets which I can change.

Which I like most is the DVD/Blu-ray decoder, I don't care about protections, Pavtube take card about everything. As long as your disc has been downloaded, it's decrypted. So make sure your Internet connection is ok.

And it provides multi-track MP4/MOV/ProRes/MKV presets in which I can isolate dialogue and music in one movie if I want.

Free trial download link: http://www.multipelife.com/download/bytecopy-mac/bytecopy_setup.dmg

How to use Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac to rip BD/DVD to high quality DNxHD .mov on Mac? 

Step 1. First of all, get this Blu-ray/DVD to Avid MC Converter installed and insert DVD to Mac. Btw, Mac cannot read Blu-rays directly, if you want to rip Blu-ray, plug-in your external Blu-ray drive to Mac and read Blu-ray there.

Now click the first disc-like icon on the top, click your disc name to load. Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac will detect the main title automatically, unless you wan to rip the extras, do not touch it.

Step 2. The next step, click "Format" drop-down list and choose "Avid Media Composer>Avid DNxHD(*.mov)".



Step 3. Now the most important step to get DNxHD file in best quality.

Click the "Settings" icon (next to "Format"), set bitrate to "High quality". The higher bitrate you choose, the larger file size and better video quality will be.
Also you can free change other settings like frame rate, audio sample rate, channels, etc. here.

Step 4. Well it's all set now. Back to main UI, hit the big red "Convert" to start ripping Blu-ray/DVD to DNxHD MOV in best quality for Avid Media Composer on Mac. Wait for moments, hit "Open output folder" or "Open" to quick find the converted files.
