Play DRM protected Digital Copy movies on Sony Xperia Z1

Description: With the help of the best Digital Copy movies to Sony Xperia Z1 converter to remove DRM protection of your Digital Copy movies and rip to the best format for your Sony Xperia Z1.

Yesterday was my birthday, and I went to the cinema with my best friends. We chose to watch the latest movie “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” which I have read the novel before. I kept my excitement in close watch with Catching Fire and went expecting a good movie and nothing more. I was welcomed with an excellent surprise: the movie followed the events of the novel whenever possible and brilliantly so, while managing to keep me on the edge of my seat.

What I really liked about the movie was that they didn’t shy away from the novel and conveyed the despair and oppression imposed by the Capitol over the rest of Panem. It makes you think that all of this is happening around the world, in one way or another, maybe masquerade, but it is.

If you like beautifully told dystopian stories (CHILDREN OF MEN) or are a fans of Suzanne Collins, seeing The Hunger Games: Catching Fire should be obvious. It is easily one of the best films of 2013.

 

For such exciting film, after seeing it in the cinema, I can’t wait to buy the form of Digital Copy for playback on my Sony Xperia Z1. With the help of Pavtube ChewTune (Read Review), I can remove the DRM protection and put my Digital Copy movies on Sony Xperia Z1.

Join M2TS files and convert to MKV (Xvid) without quality loss

The article illustrated below is an exhaustive process to elaborate step by step procedure for M2TS to MKV (Xvid) conversion without quality loss for playing. 

M2TS: This innovative file format is available with the video/audio files created by Sony Camcorder models. This is most likely a Sony high definition video file type and recorded using Sony, Panasonic, Canon and other brands of camcorders. However, playing M2TS file is troublesome. In order to view the M2TS footage on HDTV, you need to connect your camera with HDTV via cable. For playing blu-ray movie, you got to put the blu-ray disc in a blu-ray player and connect the player with you on wide screen TV. And that’s why guys like you and me would still seek for easier and flexible ways watching M2TS videos.

To copy the M2TS contents to media server and portable memory storages for playing back, converting M2TS to MKV will make it easier and more effectively.



Below is a question from one of my clients:

I am working in industrial automation and I love watching kinds of films. Now I have some M2TS collects, what I wanna do is to join these M2TS videios from Full HD video camcorder. I wonder if is it possible to get these M2TS files into MKV format without quality loss. And I prefer the Xvid codec with MKV format for playback on my HDTV.

To help him out, I did long time searching on internet and many testing (different software). And freemake video converter is the softwar I have used very good one ... Unfortunatelly it sarted to crash after some version of the program, so number of joined m2ts files was getting smaller and smaller. That convinced me to search for new program.

But finally I find Pavtube Video Converter, it works pefectly in M2TS to MKV (Xvid) conversion with fast speed. I didn't find any quality loss, also it joins videos without breaks (lag) besides converting. The Mac version is Pavtube Video Converter for Mac.

In the following guide I will show you how to convert M2TS to MKV (Xvid).

Step 1: Import the M2TS file.

Run Pavtube Video Converter as the best M2TS to MKV Converter. Click “Add Video” or “Add from folder” icon to load .m2ts video clips.



Step 2. Choose MKV as the output format

Click the “Format” bar and follow “Common Video->MKV” if you’d like to save storage. If you are unwilling to degrade the HD M2TS video quality, “HD Video”-> “MKV HD Video (*.mkv)” is a better choice for you.
  

Step 3: Settings (Optional)

You can click “Settings” button and enter “Profile Settings” panel to adjust video and audio settings if necessary. Users are free to reset codec, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, and audio channels.

Here. You can set XVID as the best video codec for your media player.

Step 3: Start converting M2TS to MKV

Click “Convert” button and the selected M2TS files will be converted to MKV files at once.

Notes: If you would like to join MKV files together, just select these files and check the Merge into one box before click “Convert” button. You may check the converting progress and set auto shutdown in the convert window.

After conveting M2TS to HD MKV, it would be easy to import the converted MKV files to media players like Western Digital TV and enjoy the videos on HDTV.

Tip1: Footage shot by some camcorders may end up interlaced. Juggled edges and ghosting occurs when you preview the M2TS files. In that case you can set deinterlace effect to eliminate the interlacing lines. Follow Edit->Effect->Deinterlacing.

Tip 2: The “Trim” facility allows you to cut out unwanted part from videos. To convert specific part of a M2TS file, you may click the “Edit” button, switch to “Trim” tab, type in desired time in ‘Start’ and ‘End’ box and click ‘Set’ button. Or you can click left square bracket and right square bracket to set start and end time when playing the video.

The M2TS to MKV Converter can help you convert recorded m2ts video files with high video quality, video and audio synchronization are perfectly guaranteed. If you would like to convert M2TS files directly from blu-ray disc, Pavtube BDMagic (30% off now) is a better choice for you, as the ripper is capable of handling encrypted commercial blu-ray discs.

Guide on Importing Sony FS700 MTS files into Final Cut Pro 7 and FCP X

Summary: Here are tips and tricks for Sony NEX-FS700 and Final Cut Pro: In order to import and edit Sony NEX-FS700 MTS into FCP 7/X smoothly, you need transcode Sony AVCHD to FCP compatible format on Mac. 

As a high-end camcorder, Sony NEX-FS700 is definitely worth buying: professional design, large-sensor, and high quality recording. FS700 can shoot at up to 960 frames per second and now there are already quite a few cameras out there that can do this.



As FS700 records full HD 1080 50/60p MTS/M2TS files in AVCHD format. However, FCP has less compatiblity with AVCHD .mts/.m2ts files, and many users find that the AVCHD format cannot be recognized by FCP 7, for example:

Hello, I own HD video converter for MAC. I'm attempting to batch transfer 1080i HD footage from a Sony FS700 (AVCHD/MTS) to Prores. I want the footage to stay interlaced and not convert to 25P (progressive). Is there a way to do this? Can only find a 25p option. Thank you!

Why this happens just because the codec of AVCHD is not supported by Final Cut Pro. So is there any easy solution to avoid the headache "incompatibility importing problem"? Here is a simple tip for you to make Sony FS700 50/60p AVCHD editable in FCP. Some 1080/50 fps AVCHD clips grayed out in L&T or import window and we were not able to ingest them to FCP until we used third-party encoder to change these 50/60 fps MTS clips to ProRes 422.

What we use: Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac to help you get it done.

Merge/Join hard drive camera recored MTS videos into one with no conversion

In this guide, you will learn how to combine and join m2ts files recorded by hard drive camera without losing details. 

OK, I have a hard drive camera this year. I’m trying to take multiple files and convert them to one? Here is a sample of the file I attached. I shot this in the hallway but will be filming Basketball games and it’s going to have multiple files. Does anyone know of a way to join multiple .M2TS files - without having to re-encode the video? Thanks in advance. Below is a screenshot of my video files.

P.S. The hard drive camera is used for filming basketball games. I am a high school basketball coach. My software that I use needs the game film in DV format. My old camera was a mini DVD camera and it was simple to use that pavtube to convert to DV format. This new hard drive camera is recorded on a sd 64 GB card and is played back on to my hard drive. For some reason everytime you hit start and stop on record it makes that segment into a file. Since games are constantly stop and start I have over 80 clips that need to merge into one file for DV format. 

There are some MTS converters that can convert my m2ts media from hard drive camera in mp4 file as I read, but it will definitely lose a lot of details doing it and it usually takes a long time encoding the H.264 contents. Also, it can't join my m2ts files together.

To fast organize and join .MTS/.M2TS files without encoding, the Pavtube Media Magician for Mac is a best choice. Its "Lossless Output" option provides a jointless MTS/M2TS/TOD merging and rewrapping solution. Using the software, you can join m2ts/mts clips into one without encoding. Not only the processing time is greatly shortened, but also you get the original HD quality. I have used Pavtube products for about 6 years now. And I have already purchased this program for a PC and a Mac. I was surprised by its amazing speed and high qualtiy video output. Below is a guide I share for your reference.

Free Download Pavtube Media Magician or Mac (Download a dmg file for Mac OS X 10.5 users)

Tip:

If you are a Windows user, please turn to Pavtube Media Magician

Note: The free trial version of Pavtube Media Magician for Mac has the following limitations:

• It will add Pavtube logo watermark in output file(s).
• Lossless output has a file size limit of 5 minutes.

Warnings:

To remux camera videos to MKV/M2TS, you need to use "Lossless Output" in Media Magician for Mac. There are some things you need to pay attention to while using "Lossless Output":


1. Currently the "Lossless Output" only handles MTS, M2TS, MOD, and TOD formats, thus you are limited to do the following rewrapping without conversion:

- Remux MTS to MTS

- Remux M2TS to M2TS

- Remux TOD to TOD

- Remux MOD to MOD

- Remux MTS to MKV

- Remux M2TS to MKV

- Remux TOD to MKV

- Remux MOD to MKV

2. The format and codec of video files on timeline should be substantially the same;

3. Any editing effects (such as Effect, Audio, 3D) will be ignored when output.
