Blu-ray to iPhone 6 - Rip Blu-ray to multi-track MP4 for watching on iPhone 6 with VLC

A detailed guide to help you rip Blu-ray to iPhone 6 with multiple audio tracks, with the guide to help you play multi-track movie on iPhone via VLC.

Though the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c have only been available for a couple of months, rumors are gathering about its replacement, which should – if previous versions are anything to go by – be called the iPhone 6.

Here are probably the craziest rumors about Apple’s iPhone 6:
  • Larger screen: Multiple sizes in 4.7-5.7" range rumored
  • Sapphire Glass screen
  • Faster and more efficient A8 chip
  • Fall 2014 Release Date
iPhone 6

However one thing for sure is that the new iPhone 6 will not be equipped a port for playing Blu-rays. I do not own a large Blu-ray collection but still have some discs to rip, like Girls on a Bicycle, Winter’s Tale, Date and Sandwich, etc.

For this reason, we still get something to do if we want to enjoy Blu-ray movies on iPhone 6 at original quality with all the audio tracks.

One of my friends recommended Pavtube ByteCopy as the best Blu-ray to iPhone 6 Ripper; let’s go on and see how it works.

Samsung unleashed a bevy of new Android tablets during the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, including the new Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. The Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 has a 12.2-inch display with a 2560 x 1600-pixel resolution. The Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 offer similar specs under the hood.

And these Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 12.2/10.1/8.4 are also the great media players which support a lot of media formats including files with MP4, H.264, H.263 as video format and MP3, WAV, eAAC+ as audio format.

It is great for watching movies on Galaxy TabPRO tablets, and then what if you want to sync and transfer your downloaded iTunes videos to Galaxy TabPRO tablets for enjoying on the go? As we know, M4V videos purchased from iTunes store are protected by Apple's DRM and can't be transferred or played on non-Apple products. Well, in the case above, Galaxy TabPRO is no exception. Moreover, as the answer mentioned, M4V is not a format that Galaxy TabPRO appreciates.

So if you really want to watch iTunes DRM video on Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 12.2/10.1/8.4, you need to remove iTunes movie DRM protection and convert iTunes M4V to Galaxy TabPRO supported video formats like MP4.

Tips and preparations:


1. Make sure that your computer is authorized by source iTunes videos, that is to say you can play the source iTunes movies in iTunes without trouble.

2. Allow the audio driver installed during the Pavtube ChewTune installation.

3. Close iTunes before running the Pavtube DRM Removal Converter when converting iTunes M4V movies.

How to Convert iTunes movies to Galaxy TabPRO tablets

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 Galaxy TabPRO tablets recording. 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.
