DRM Converter- Enable iTunes video/music DRM-free for Kindle Fire HDX 7

In this article you would learn how to legally free iTunes videos from DRM protection and record your iTunes video to Kindle Fire HDX 7 for playing with high quality.

Spending the weekend with Amazon’s Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch tablet, it’s easy to see why Amazon has built a commanding lead in the Android tablet space. The Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch (which has a companion 8.9-inch version in the wings), is, for now, the reigning champ in power, performance and screen resolution. Yes, it only matches the Google Nexus 7 in pixels per inch, but no other consumer tablet offers the same mobile CPU: Amazon's tablet also has 2GB of RAM, double the 1GB found in the Nexus 7 and roughly quadruple the memory reportedly found in the iPad Mini.

Meanwhile, in a day of normal use that included reading, shopping, watching video, browsing the web, drawing, playing a console-level game, taking and editing photos, the Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch’s battery lasted throughout the day and night.

And one of the most significant updates to Amazon's ecosystem is the ability to download selected Prime instant videos to your device. I’m happy to report that you can download the videos and, instead of waiting for the download to complete, you can start watching them almost immediately. But when turns to video downloaded from iTunes store, you will find it is not so easy to transfer iTunes movies to Kindle Fire HDX 7 and other android devices as iTunes movies are all protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management). To get iTunes movies playback on Kindle Fire HDX 7, you need to remove DRM protection from iTunes m4v movies in advance, and then you can play them freely.

How to enable iTunes video/music DRM-free for Kindle Fire HDX 7?Step 1: Install the DRM Removal program – Pavtube ChewTune or Pavtube ChewTune for Mac.

(Money-saving Tips:)

ChewTune ($29) + Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate($65) = Only $75, Save $19

ChewTune for Mac($29) + iMedia Converter for Mac($65) = Only $75, Save $19

ChewTune($29) + ByteCopy($42) = Only $54, Save $17

ChewTune for Mac($29) + ByteCopy for Mac($42) = Only $54, Save $17

Pavtube ChewTune is developed as a professional DRM Removal tool and DRM Video Recorder to help users legally strip off DRM protection from iTunes M4V movies, Amazon Instant Videos and Digital Copy so that you are able to watch almost all DRM movies on multiple smartphones and tablets anywhere you like.

Top 5 Best DRM Removal Programs Review for Android, Windows 8 Tablets/Phones

Step 2: Start the Top DRM removal software, hit the "Add video" button and browser the source iTunes videos location for loading.

Note: If you are running a trial version of Pavtube DRM Removal Tool, make sure you have turned off iTunes before running this app to ensure its stability.

Step 3. From the "Format" drop-down list, choose suitable profile for Kindle Fire HDX 7. Here I suggest you choose "Common Video -> H.264 Video (*.mp4)" as output format.

Optional - If you like, you could adjust profile settings including video codec, bitrate, frame rate, etc to get better video and audio quality for watching iTunes m4v movies on Kindle Fire HDX 7.

Step 4. Hit the "Convert" button to start recording iTunes movies. After it finishes, click the "Open" icon to locate the recorded iTunes movie, and you are ready to transfer it to your Kindle Fire HDX 7, it's very eary.

Tip 1: Because of 1:1 video recording, it takes as long as the source movie length to finish the whole ChewTune DRM-free process, so if your source iTunes movies is about 1 hour, ChewTune needs more than 1 hour to complete the iTunes to Kindle Fire HDX 7. So if you wanna get a test before fully purchasing, it's better to select a small sample video for testing.

Tip 2: Since Pavtube ChewTune supports batch processing facility, you could import more than one DRM videos and run overnight, and you would get all videos recorded the next morning. Don't forget to set up Windows power options to never turn off monitor or never let the computer system standby.

Top 5 Best Blu-ray Ripping Programs 2015-2016 Reviews

Are you looking for Blu-ray Ripping software? Wanna pick up a Blu-ray Ripper and not knowing which one to choose? This article covers the best yet popular Blu-ray rippers on market and compare them side-by-side with reviews as well for your reference.

Yeah, there are many programs out there that allow you to make copies of your Blu-rays and let you watch them the way you want to view them. Most of you are likely familiar with the excellent Handbrake for ripping standard Def DVDs (HandBrake does not rip or decrypt commercial DVDs), but while the latest version of the software has added SOME support for reading Blu-Ray folder structures, it cannot yet decrypt the Blu-Ray discs the way it can with regular DVDs, so you’ll need to add an intermediate step. (Read Best DVD Rippers for Android/IOS)

Top Blu-ray Rippers Ranking and Review:

No. 1 Pavtube BDMagic – Excellent

The good:

Not any other Blu-ray Ripper can do with all kinds of BD/DVD sources: protected and unprotected Blu-ray Disc, BDMV folder, BD ISO, physical DVD, VIDEO_TS folder, DVD ISO and IFO file. Using the "Full Disc Copy" feature, you can preserve the Blu-ray's original file structure. Insert the Blu-ray disc, click on the "Full Disc Copy" button, and select a folder to copy to. While Pavtube BDMagic also supports conversion to popular device formats, it takes longer. When converting Blu-ray to 1080p HD video, Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper gives pretty much indistinguishable image quality from the original Blu-ray Disc with Dolby Digital 5.1/AAC 5.1 audio as a plus. If you enjoy having everything organized and save memory space while keeping the original quality of your HD movies and videos then THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR. It rips 2D/3D Blu-ray into 3D Videos.

The bad: It lets you trim a specific duration from a movie, but not allows you to split movie/divide a movie evenly into multiple segments.

The bottom line: With decent decrypting capability, high quality video output and considerate backup solution and specific format templates for versatile PMP devices (iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, Xbox, PS3, Android tablets and phones, etc), Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper ranks top on the Blu-ray ripping application list.

Editors' note: Pavtube provides excellent customer support service, including lifetime free upgrade of product and technical support. Users can contact the support staff via email for help and suggestion.

Trial Download:

Pavtube BDMagic for Windows (Requires Windows XP/2003/Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 8.1)
Pavtube BDMagic for Mac (Requires Mac OS X Leopard (10.5), Snow Leopard (10.6), Lion (10.7), Mountain Lion (10.8), Mavericks (10.9))

More Blu-ray Tips:

Transferring Blu-ray to Google Nexus 4
Put Blu-ray ISO images to Surface RT
Backup Blu-ray DVD movies to iTunes 11 for Apple TV 3No. 2 DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper – Good

The good: When it comes to decrypting/hacking Blu-ray discs and DVDs, DVDfab is about as good as it gets. DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper well deserves its high reputation in decryption, and it handles not only AACS, BD+, Region code restriction, but also Cinavia protected Blu-rays. By taking advantage of CUDA accelerating, the conversion time is greatly shorted. If you want to rip a Blu-ray to MKV and keep 2 audio language and external subtitles, DVDfab would be your choice.

The bad: It is lacking of DVD ripping feature. It does not support AMD APP encoding. The interface is not very intuitive. And DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper costs more than its alternatives.

The bottom line: DVDfab Blu-ray Ripper decrypts and rips Blu-ray title to various video files playable on next generation consoles like PS3 and Xbox 360, HD player like WD TV Live, or mobile devices like iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc.

Editors' note: DVDfab has a comprehensive forum where you can communicate with other users and get helpful advices. There's not support email but you can submit your problem to DVDfab.No. 3 Leawo Blu-ray Ripper – Good

The good: Leawo Blu-ray Ripper comes with the popular feature to convert 2D to 3D for users to enjoy the popular 3D effect and exports various HD and popular common video formats (M2TS, AVI, MP4, WMV, FLV, MPEG, MOV, MKV, RMVB, etc). Leawo Blu-ray Ripper has stunning trim and crop feature- it trims movie more accurate and crops video more considerate than its competitors. It can load multiple Blu-ray and DVD movies at a time. If you have tons of movies waiting to rip and feel like having a Blu-ray Ripper queue them several movies for running overnight, Leawo is recommended.

The bad: Not recognizing Blu-ray ISO or forced subtitle (if there is). GPU encoding is restricted to Nvidia's CUDA only. There's no backup option for keeping original movie quality.

The bottom line: Leawo Blu-ray Ripper is a nice tool for DVD and Blu-ray ripping. There may be some improvements for Leawo to make but it already performs well enough for average users to convert/put Blu-ray and DVD movies to iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, Wii, etc.

Editors' note: We noticed that audio quality is noticeably degraded when ripping Blu-ray with Leawo Blu-ray Ripper.No. 4 Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper – Fair

The good: By taking advantage of AMD APP, Intel? Quick Sync Video and NVIDIA? CUDA? technology, Aimersoft Blu-ray ripper converts movies faster and saves your time. It rips Blu-ray/DVD into almost all popular video formats (MP4, AVI, MOV, etc) and features versatile format templates for smartphones, game consoles and MP3 players. Its "Backup" function let users envelop a whole Blu-ray movie into a MKV/DVD into VOB without quality loss. If you're looking for a way putting movies onto a HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony, or Motorola smartphone, the Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper is worth checking out.

The bad: It does not support Blu-ray ISO or BDMV structure. There's no option for preserving only forced subtitles. Most Blu-ray Discs are not loading to the software.

The bottom line: Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper handles DVD ripping as good as any other rippers, but the company really needs to work hard and step forward in Blu-ray Disc cracking. Other than that, Aimersoft Blu-ray Ripper is impressively fast and helpful.

Editors' note: It seems that Aimersoft does not handle Blu-ray AACS and BD+ encryption properly and the software keeps popping up a message that we should contact customer support during our testing- the customer support staff offers but apologize though.No. 5 Xilisoft Blu-ray Ripper – Poor

The good: Xilisoft Blu-ray Ripper can convert both standard Blu-ray videos and 3D Blu-ray videos to SD and HD video formats such as MKV, AVI, WMV, TS, etc. And it can preserve 3D effects when your source is 3D Blu-ray movie. NVIDIA CUDA and AMD APP graphic acceleration technology has been introduced to bring faster conversion experience.

The bad: The app does not decrypt Blu-ray protections and requires AnyDVD HD to be installed in advance for Blu-ray ripping. DVD ripping is not supported.

The bottom line: Xilisoft Blu-ray Ripper does not rip movies from Blu-ray Disc, but if you have had the Blu-ray cracked and saved onto computer hard drive, this tool would be helpful and useful for you to enjoy movies on iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, PSP, Xbox, Zune, NDS, Wii, and 3D smartphones.

Editors' note: This tool is not recommended unless when you want to convert 3D Blu-ray and keep 3D effect.

“I have a large collection of SD/HD videos in my hard disc, they are all my wonderful memory, now I would like to play them on my new purchased ipad air, However when I put the videos into my iPad Air, most of them couldn’t be recognized, and these SD/HD videos unable to be played on my ipad air smoothly, Is there any solution about playing SD/HD videos on ipad air?”

More and more people have got the iPad Air tablet, with thinner and lighter body it is so easy to take when your travel, you can enjoy movies or use it to kill time when you on train, bus or plane. However the video formats supported by iPad Air are still limited, it only supports H.264/MPEG4 codec MP4, MOV and M4V format, the other formats like MKV, AVI, WMV, AVCHD, MTS, TiVo are all not supported. I recommend a iPad air video converter to you, Which could solve your problem.

Following is the detailed steps. (Here we take MKV for example, if you have other formats, the steps are the same.)

Free download iPad air video converter and install it

Step1. Launch the iPad air video converter, click “Add Video” or “Add from folder” to import your source materials in .mkv format. Besides MKV, you can also load FLV, AVI, WMV, VOB, TiVo, MPG, MOV, etc. files to the program. Batch conversion is supported so that you can add multiple files.

Step2. Click “Format” bar, you can get the optimized videos for iPad Air under iPad > iPad Air HD Video(*.mp4). The output videos could fit on your device perfectly.
To get 1080p video quality, just choose iPad>iPad Air Full HD Video(*.mp4).

If you like, you can click “Settings” to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. For watching videos on iPad Air, 720p with 1500~2500kbps is just all right. Notes:The bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss.

Step3 Click the “Convert” button to start conversion
When conversion is finished, click "Open Folder" to located the converted files and drag to iTunes for transfer to the ipad air.

Now, you can enjoy videos on iPad Air anytime everywhere for great digital fun.
