How to play Blu-ray ISO backups on WD TV Live

To play Blu-ray ISO backups on your WD TV Live, one thing you should know is that WD TV Live can well play ISO files from a USB drive, while network shares do have problems actually.

In order to get an ISO backup, what’s your workflow? As all I know, some people use tsMuxeR to back up the Blu-ray disc, and then converted it into an ISO using Daemon Tools. Personally, I use Pavtube Blu-ray Copy to make ISO backups for my Blu-ray discs.

or http://en.wikipedia.org/ can help you !

Within several clicks, this program can finish its task, and enables you to get an ISO image file. What you should do is just loading your BD files via “Source” option, and then choose “Image File (*.ISO)” from the pull down menu of “Target” to specify the destination folder. BTW, you’d better indicate your USB drive as the save path, or you need spend time to copy the ISO image to your USB drive repeatedly. Once the two steps finished, the backup process will begin, and then you just need wait for the resulted ISO files for your WD TV Live.

As long as copying task is completed, plug the USB into your WD TV, and connect it to your HDTV via HDMI cable, what you should do next is enjoying your BD movies on your widescreen TV leisurely.

One more thing I should mention is that some users have problems to play Blu-ray ISO files via their WD TV, but DVD ISO is working well. Not clear about the accurate reason, but another solution can be recommended. Since WD TV is able to beautifully playback HD MKV files up to Full HD 1080p, thus we just need a utility to convert BD files to HD MKV, and then everything will be OK. Because of the Blu-ray copyright issues, some discs are highly protected, we must take advantage of a powerful application to do so. In that case, the following Blu-ray ripper is suggested, it is able to remove nearly all kinds of BD protections, including BD+, AACS, and even MKB Version > 10 is supported as well.

This Blu-ray ripper allows users exporting “MKV HD Video (*.mkv)” format, and also enables users to reset audio and video parameters via clicking “Settings” button. You can set the resolution at 1920*1080 to remain 1080p quality of your Blu-ray movies, as well as keep 5.1 channel of the original surround sound. All in all, all the parameters like bit rate, codec name, frame rate, sample rate are all changeable in the following interface.

After your preferred settings for your WD TV have been set well, just click “Convert” button to start conversion. Once finished, you can watch them on your TV via WD TV with ease, and the high quality of the Blu-ray movie has never been changed at all.

Is this helpful? Hope it is.

Take the place of Elgato Turbo.264 – Convert copy-protected DVDs on Mac without audio and video out of sync issues

To convert HD camcorder clips and other videos to a format that can be played on an iPod, iPhone, Apple TV and shared on the web, some Mac users have purchased the not cheap Elgato Turbo.264 HD Video Encoder to realize their format conversion goals. Turbo.264 HD is not only an encoder, but also an accelerator to convert all popular video formats (including HD camcorder video) to a high-quality H.264 file in standard or HD resolutions. It is incredibly fast and comes with an easy-to-use software application.

Everything seems good, but when it comes to deal with copy-protected DVDs, it usually gives users CSS errors, because it can only convert DVDs that are not copy-protected. Aside from the copyright issues, according to some users’ review, Turbo.264 HD has one worse problem that sometimes the exported files are all out of sync. We can have a look at some reviews on this point together. Written by PF from Ventura, 5-Nov-2009: “This product is a joke … most of the files generated using this product have audio that is completely out of sync and are unwatchable”; Written by AM from San Jose, 16-Nov-2009: “This product does exactly what it says on the box; it makes Apple TV format movies in a very short time. The issue is they’re unwatchable. I’ve ripped 15 movies in the last 10 hours, and not one of them has the audio in sync with the image.”

Well, how to fix the two problems? At this time, change your eyes on another affordable program would be a better choice. Absolutely, Pavtube DVD Ripper for Mac is for you to give solutions to the two problems.

Convert MKV to vob or mp4 for playback on PS3 with your needed audio track

I’m trying to convert an MKV files to the format of vob or mp4 for playback on my PS3. The thing is that the mkv file contains two audio tracks, English and French. For some reason, the French track is the default track, but I can understand English only, so I have to look around the Internet for a program that allows me selecting English track as output audio track. After trying out couples of converters, finally I came across Pavtube MKV Converter in a forum, and found some good reviews on it. It really saved me a lot. Share it here, hope it is exactly what you are looking for. Please find a step-by-step instruction from my following contents.

First off, you can free download Pavtube MKV Converter here.

1. Launch Pavtube MKV Converter and click “Add” button to load MKV files

As soon as the file is loaded, you can double click the file name to preview the movie.

You are allowed to click on the drop-down menu of “Audio Stream ID” to see which one is your needed audio track. After your selection is done, do remember clicking “OK” button to save your choice.

3. Click on the pull down menu of “Format” to select mp4 or vob as output format for PS3

If you want to adjust the video and audio parameters to achieve a special video and audio quality, you can click “Settings” button to adjust video and audio parameters like codec, image size, bit rate, etc to whatever you like. To get a smaller file size, you can select smaller values, but there will be some video loss to some extent; to get a better quality, you can select larger values, while the file size will be enlarged without doubt. That is to say you’d better make a good balance between the output file size and the file quality. If you are not good at it, you can totally skip this step, because the default settings can satisfy you needs basically.

5. Click “Convert” button to start converting mkv to mp4 or vob
