Copy 2014 Disney Blu-ray movies to Android Tablet/Phone for watching

Store many Blu-ray collections at home and want to watch Blu-ray movies on your Android Tablet & Smartphone? But, of course, we can't play Blu-ray on android directly. Here this guide is for users to easily copy and play Blu-ray movies on Android device.



I own some Disney blu-ray disks which I want sometimes to watch on my mobile devices (I own an Android phone and two tablets). However, Android phones/tablets don't have the Blu-ray drive for playing Blu-ray movies (ReadAndroid Support Video Format).

That means, to watch Blu-ray movies on your Android tablet or smartphone anytime and anywhere you like, I will need to rip/compress Blu-ray to Android compatible video formats like MP4 so that I can play favorite Blu-ray movies freely on your Android talet or phone.

Then I googled “Blu-ray ripper”, I find MakeMKV and Handbreak, but with them there were problems evaluating the output size (I wanted to keep it 2…3 Gb) and adding subtitles, this was all too complicated had a Power DVD program with ripping capability which came with my external BD writer, but when I purchased a new computer with Windows 8/8.1, it didn't work any more and they refused to give me a free new version, so I started to look for a reasonable replacement, because their price was too expensive.

Pavtube BDMagic should be your first choice for ripping newly released Blu-ray movies from physical discs to Android, iOS, Windows 8 tablets and smartphones, stream to various Media players and TVs and backup to hard disk, etc. (Mac version: BDMagic for Mac). Overall, I find it simple enough to operate and meanwhile the price was very reasonable.

Easy to use, and both DVDs and blu-rays can be ripped. Ripping is fast. Just seemed the best product I could find, for ripping DVDs and blu-rays. The trial seemed to work so I decided to buy.

* MPEGPS (Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio) 
* WMV 
* WebM (Adobe - WebM1 video codec, MP3 audio)

So the problem is DVD files (such as .VOB, .IFO and .BUP files) cannot be uploaded directly to YouTube.
In fact, DVD video has poor compatibility with some popular uploading website, as an example, when we are trying to import DVD files to YouTube, issue pops up to say hi to us.

Link the YouTube videos
 

Now that your entire DVD image is on YouTube but in parts, it’s important that you link all these parts so that people may enjoy them all in a sequence. This is possible through the video annotations feature of YouTube.

Open the first video clip in the YouTube Annotations editor, scroll to the end and insert a speech bubble that points to your second video clip. Repeat this with all the other clips.

Annotations involve a little effort so a good alternative is playlists. Put the all DVD parts in one YouTube playlist and then advantage here is that your friends can watch everything from one page without having to manually navigate through videos.

Question: I'm trying to convert a DVD disc from local shop to .mp4 and it has 3 audio tracks and 3 subtitle tracks. I want to change the format but preserve the all the audio and subs so that I can play it on my iPhone and iPad? Any suggestion?


As MP4 is a popular video format supported by various media players, video editing apps, online video websites, etc., to play, edit or share your DVD movies more conveniently and easier, you need to convert DVD to MP4 format at first.

Intimate is, there are many optimized presets for tablet and smartphone, including Kindle Fire HDX, Google Nexus 7/Nexus 10/Nexus 4, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S5, Galaxy Tab 3, iPad, iPhone etc. which will give you best video quality.

Here, this post will give you a guide on how to convert DVD movies to multi-track mp4 format on Windows/Mac.

Tips:

1. Although this ByteCopy should be able to rip Blu-rays, I have no experience with it as I don't have an external Blu-ray drive. But one of my friends had a test and said it's quite worthy a try. 

2. Mac version is also available: Pavtube Bytecopy for Mac. 

Get this ByteCopy installed and let's start the workflow easily.

Step 1. Import DVD disc, DVD folder, IFO/ISO image files.

Step 1. Free download and install the Best Blu-ray/DVD Copying & Ripping tool on your PC. Insert DVD disc to your ROM, click "Load files" to import DVD disc directly from ROM. If you have IFO/ISO and DVD folder, choose the corresponding option to load DVD movies from your computer.



The main title in your DVD will be checked by default; so let's move on and choose format.

Step 2. Choose format.

Click the "Format" drop-down list and choose "Multi-track Video>Multi-track MP4(*.mp4)" as below:



Step 3. Adjust video&audio settings (optional)

Click the "Settings" button to check all video&audio settings. By default it will check all the audio tracks (languages), so if you only need some of the languages, just check the unwanted ones.

Btw, video size, bitrate and frame rate can all be changed if you are not satisfied with default settings.

Don't forget to click OK to confirm all the changes.

Step 4. Start conversion.

Click the big red "Convert" to start converting DVDs to MP4 with multiple languages. The original DVD chapter marker will be kept automatically.

After conversion, hit the "Open" or "Open output folder" icon to quick locate converted MP4 videos, transfer it to your iPhone/iPad/iPod or other portable devices for playing.

OK! We now can freely watch DVD movies with chapter markers and languages on MP4-compliant devices.

FYI: QuickTime cannot work with all the videos with chapter markers; in case of the problem, you are suggested to download a VLC Player for your tablets and phones.
