I use AoA DVD Ripper to copy my favourite DVDs to digital formats (I have a big DVD selection, and it is easier to stream them off my server than find which box I have stored them in)
(I also have Slysoft AnyDVD ripping software - it doesn't seem to create as high a quality of output)
The PlayBook will play various types of MP4, WMV, AVI film formats - the only files I have never been able to watch are Digital Copies that came bundled with the original BluRay/DVD (eg triple-play packs of True Grit, Hanna)
The ripping software can save in multiple different formats at various levels of resolution
If you only want to watch the films on your PlayBook then you do not need very high resolution - if you want to watch the movies on a big screen (utilising the hdmi output on your PB - eg when staying away in a hotel) then I recommend saving in the h264 mp4 format with the highest resolution (average movie size is 1.5Gb)
btw - have never found any s/w that will rip my Blu-Rays - if anybody knows of Blu-Ray ripping software, please let me know
hope this helps03-19-12 10:22 PMLike 0 -
The image that AnyDVD HD creates is the same quality as the source. One of the discs was 43GB and the resulting image was 43GB.BigAl_BB9900 likes this.03-19-12 10:41 PMLike 1 -
- Hi Everybody,
I'm trying to rip my star trek dvd that I bought but it keeps crashing both dvdecrypter and handbrake... is there any way to copy a protected DVD? I just want to watch it on my playbook!
edit:
I think I have figured it out. downloaded anydvd then launched handbrake and it SEEMS to be ripping the DVD now, will see how it works. but this would be awesome cause then can watch the videos when we fly home for christmas! got a headphone splitter so we can share one playbook.
Okay, Any DVD running in the background with handbrake to encode is AWESOME! I'm adding about 15 movies to my playbook for various times of boredom. Thanks guys!Last edited by helloprilly; 11-16-12 at 05:32 PM. Reason: update

I have tried the trial versions of pavtube and amiersoft, finally I choose the first one. It's much cheaper and easy to use!

I was ripping Star Trek movies and there's subtitle tracks for SOME parts of the movie. The rip from Handbrake was gorgeous quality but I didn't know I needed to turn on subtitles. Does anybody know how to do that? I don't want subtitles through the whole movie just when they're supposed to be there.
Thank you!12-25-12 11:37 AMLike 0 - I use Handbrake, too. I usually rip to mp4 format, high profile. Video is great, however, only the first audio track is played, no way to change it and no way to enable subtitles using the native PlayBook video player.03-09-13 02:31 PMLike 0
- Both MovieSRTPlayer and Kalemsoft can play subtitles although I'm not sure if the track can be embedded (hard coded obviously as part of a video)03-09-13 03:47 PMLike 0
