Top 7 Best DVD to AVI Converter Software 2016 Reviews

DVD was once the popular home entertainment format. But with the development of Home Theater and more and more people like to watch DVD movies on portable devices, people gradually are aware of the inconvenience of disc-based content. So the need of converting DVD to AVI has increased largely recent years.

dvd to avi

AVI is a popular container file format used for watching standard definition video on the PC and is the container used by DivX video versions 3 through 6. AVI files can hold different types of video and audio streams inside, and with the help of DivX® video compression technology, they can display incredible video quality while maintaining a small file size. .divx files are also based on the AVI container, but can contain additional features like XSUB subtitles and chapters. 

DVD to AVI converter software allows you to circumvent DVD encryption and convert DVD to AVI in order to watch DVD movies on all the electronics you own. However, there are too many DVD to AVI converter softwares in the market that make you confused which one should choose. We ranked several DVD to AVI conversion software programs by subjecting them to battery of tests to determine which one is the best.

Read Blu-ray on my PS3/PS4 with dolby 5.1 audio (keep multi-track)

”I need help! My "fat" PS3 doesn't have 5.1 Surround when playing "disc based" movies, the PS3 games and Netflix work fine...but Blu-Ray only play two channels! WHATS WRONG?!”



Since PS3, PS4 support Blu-ray playback, they have been the main Blu-ray player for Blu-ray collectors. However, many Blu-ray movies contain 5.1 surround sound audio but many PS3/PS4 users can’t get the 5.1 audio when playing Blu-ray movies like the above question. So how to solve Blu-ray no 5.1 audio in PS3/PS4 playing?

It assumed that the you have Blu-ray Audio Output Format (HDMI) in default [Linear PCM]. You can try changing Blu-ray Dynamic Range Control to [On]. This will improve conversation when playing movies recoded in Dolby audio. You can also try changing Blu-ray Audio Output Format (HDMI) to [Bitstream]. This is my prefer method, I was having an issue not to be able to change the surround decoding to DTS when Linear PCM was selected. My Denon AV receiver kept detecting Multichannel input if Linear PCM was used. if you are using the phat ps3, then lpcm will show multichannel when decoding hd audio. if its not hd audio then lpcm will only play 2 chennels i think.

If this doesn’t work, you can rip Blu-ray to PS3/PS4 supported digital video with multi-track audio keeping 5.1 sound to test if it is the Blu-ray’s or device’s fault with a Multi-track Blu-ray Ripper

Step 1: Download Multi-track Blu-ray Ripper - Pavtube ByteCopy below. It can rip and convert Blu-ray to MP4 with multi-track audio for PS3/PS4 quickly. 

Free download and install:
          

Step 2: Run the multi-track Blu-ray Ripper <review>and click “File” to load Blu-ray discs.



Step 3: In the dropdown list of Format menu, you can find several MP4 options for output. Here we recommend "Multi-track MP4 (* mp4)" under "Multi-track Video" catalogue. Because it will save multiple video, audio and subtitle tracks form original Blu-ray in output MP4 and you won't suffer any quality loss.



Note: Make sure the original BD disc does contain Dolby TrueHD audio, otherwise you still can't get Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio saved.

Step 4: You can check the audios you want to keep and uncheck the audios you don't need. It all depends on your own choices. And then choose 5.1 audio in the Audio - Channels box. 



Step 5: Double check above steps, click the big “Convert” button and start to convert Blu-ray to multi-track MP4 with 5.1 sound for PS3/PS4 with ease. When the conversion is done, open the output folder and find the converted multi-track MP4 file.

Use the multi-track MP4 with 5.1 sound to test your PS3/PS4. If in this case, your PS3/PS4 can stream 5.1 surround sound, it may be your Blu-ray discs’ fault.

Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice Review - Copy Blu-ray/DVD version

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a 2016 American superhero film featuring the DC Comics characters Batman and Superman. It is the first live-action film to feature both Batman and Superman, as well as the first theatrical film to feature live-action portrayals of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash. 



The movie was very long, as long as TFA if I were to make a comparison. It didn’t drag though; every minute of the film was used effectively.

Performances were all great. Jesse Eisenberg as Lex is way more complex than what the trailers show. By the end of the film, you will HATE him, but at the same time, you can’t help admire how capable this guy is.

Ben Affleck as Bruce/Batman is definitely the standout performance. I was surprised/scared how different he became when he put the mask on. This Batman will come across as a villain to some viewers; he enjoys inflicting pain on criminals. There was a scene where he was branding a criminal, and he had the biggest smile on his face. I don’t know how fans will react to that, but I felt it worked with this version of the character.

Everyone else was great too, even the new supporting characters played by Jena Malone and Scoot McNairy. Jena Malone plays a crippled Barbara Gordon. She doesn’t have much screentime, but she does make a Killing Joke reference about an amusement park incident involving her now retired father. Scoot is playing Jimmy Olsen who was injured during the events of Man of Steel. He does not blame Superman like the others, but supports him and views him as a hero. He has a popular blog about Superman.

The third act was mindblowing. The Doomsday reveal in the trailer is just the tip of the iceberg. There is a lot of action, and I loved every moment of it. The first and second acts are the “Batman v Superman” parts of the movie, while the third act is entirely “Dawn of Justice.” You will see a fully assembled Justice League by the end of the film.

All in all, BvS is the greatest comic book movie since The Dark Knight, and I think it deserves you to purchase its Blu-ray/DVD versions. 

Note: You may pre-order Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Blu-ray/DVD now on Amazon.

How to Backup Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Blu-ray/DVD?

Top 10 Easter Movies for Kids and Family to Watch

A fun holiday tradition for many people is watching a film about that day or season. Some people snuggle close with a loved one while other prefer to laugh with a huge group of friends or even watch alone with a bowl of popcorn. However you like to watch movies, Easter is another fun holiday to find films to enjoy. With 2016 Easter day is closing, it is the suitable time to enjoy some Christian movies with kids to educate them the history of Easter.



To make the task easier, we prepared top 10 best Easter movies for you to watch with kids. Many are children’s movies, but there are plenty of other genres represented as well: horror, religious, musical and drama. There is something for everyone to enjoy.

1:The First Easter Rabbit



This animated Easter movies is made in 1976 but is enjoyable today. It tells the tale of a stuffed rabbit who is magically brought to life. Not only must he deliver eggs to all the children, he must also save Easter Valley from being frozen over by the evil Zero. The best part about this cute movie is the narrating by Burl Ives’ deep voice

2:Rise of the Guardians



One Guardian is destroyed but comes back to life at the end of the movie. There's some insulting language like "coward" and "selfish" and "go suck an egg," and in a flashback, a main character drowns but transforms rather than dying. Whether they personally believe in these characters or not (and the nontraditional way they're portrayed here could get some of them wondering...), kids will root for the Guardians as they fight the forces of chaos and despair.

3:It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown



Peppermint Patty is determined to demonstrate the art of Easter egg dyeing to her friend Marcie, who seems just as destined to thwart all attempts. Linus has turned his faith from the Great Pumpkin to the Easter Beagle, who he promises will make Easter special for all of them. And Lucy believes this holiday should be about "getting," a misunderstanding reinforced by scenes set in department stores already decked for the Christmas holidays.

4: Bugs Bunny's Easter Funnies



Bug's Bunnies Easter Funnies weaves together classic Looney Tunes with newly animated sequences, creating an all new story for kids and Looney fans of all ages. When the Easter Bunny is sick, Bugs and friends try their hand at taking over the job. Well, it seems like another bunny, one named Bugs in particular, might be the most apt at hopping around playing Easter Rabbit, but Sylvester, Pepe Le Pew, Foghorn Leghorn and Daffy all want to get in on the fun as well. 

5:Winnie the Pooh - Springtime with Roo



It's springtime in the Hundred Acre Woods, Easter day is here, and everyone is excited. Even Rabbit is in festive spirits, but he's more interested in Spring Cleaning Day. Roo and the gang are crushed when Rabbit even goes so far as to declare that Easter is cancelled. Can Roo, Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger remind Rabbit of the fun of Easter and bring their favorite Easter Bunny back? 

6:Easter Parade



Starring Judy Garland and Fred Astaire and featuring music by Irving Berlin, "Easter Parade" definitely falls on the lighter end of the Easter movie spectrum. Astair stars as a dancer suddenly bereft of a partner when his former colleague (Ann Miller) departs the duo for a solo career. Astair's character finds a replacement in a chorus dancer who can not only move, but has a great singing voice (Garland). The movie features beloved numbers such as "It Only Happens When I Dance With You," "A Couple of Swells" and of course, "Easter Parade."

7:The Passion of Christ



The Passion of Christ is certainly not for the faint hearted with its gruesome but honest portrayal of Jesus’ crucifixion. Mel Gibson directed this film that had enormous box office success as well as 2005 Oscar nominations for music, makeup and cinematography. For those who can handle this heavy subject matter and intensity, The Passion of Christ is a great reminder of the first Easter.

8:The Greatest Story Ever Told



Max Von Sydow portrays Jesus in this three-plus hour movie that also features Charlton Heston as John the Baptist and follows the life of Christ from Nativity to Resurrection. Other notable stars in the movie include Angela Lansbury, Jose Ferrer, Telly Savalas and Dorothy McGuire, and it marks the final film of Claude Rains.

9:Hop



Maybe you want a more recent animated Easter film? Hop is just that with humor for children and adults, a teenager rebelling from his father, a battle for control of Easter and rockin’ music. E.B. is the son of the Easter Bunny and heir to his father’s job. However, this rabbit would prefer to be a drummer and runs away to Hollywood. Upbeat and sugary sweet, this movie is sure to be a family favorite.

10: The Easter Bunny Is Comin' to Town



S.D. Kluger, whose real name is Sunny, and was adopted by the citizens of Kidville, a town where only children live. He helped bring happiness to children, starting with young King Bruce the Frail, who rules a nearby, gloomy town called Town. However, the King's aunt, the evil Duchess Lily Longtooth also reigns as regent, until such time as young Bruce comes of age.
