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.
