Just tried to rip my blu-ray movies to mp4 in 1080P, and play on my xoom. It works great.
Not to be a sour grape, but FYI this is the typical spam post I've seen in other tablet forums. Read the fine print on "About Company". They'll likely land a few catches, which should be enough for them to perpetuate the spam.
Anyone doing anything esle to rip blurays to their xoom?
I am ripping my own blu rays with Handbrake. Reducing to 720p settings at 2500kbps. Avatar looks great on it. I originally ripped it at 1080p, but I didn't really see any difference and it made the file a lot larger.
I've been using DVDFab with moderate success.
Yes, bluray can play on xoom, but you need convert it to mp4
the dvd catalyst beta has had no problem converting my blurays to 720p. Best $10 I've spent recently.
Going to try the 1080p presets for some hdmi viewing soon.
I've been ripping BluRays using DVDFab as well. Reduced the screen size to 1280X720, FPS between 22-25 and all movies have looked flawless. Audio in Stero @ 96 and raised the volume to 180%.
DVDFab is more expensive than this one as they can both do this job great
There are soo many programs out there, I found Videora that works fine, just set it to iPad and it makes a Goog MP4 file that works fine on my Xoom!

Can Handbrake really rip DVDs and Blurays? I thought it states that it is not a ripper...
EDIT: I use AnyDVD and AVS Video Converter. Unfortunately, it does not support True HD audio tracks yet I also have Cyberlink Media Suite 8 but it has only very basic settings to choose from. I think the key is to use the DivX compatible .mp4 version, not the h264 which is in my experience choppy on the Xoom. But honestly, since I have most movies ripped for my iPod @640x480 I think I'll keep them at that resolution
Using AnyDVD HD and Handbrake and I am ripping blu ray movies I own. No issues so far.
Ripped Serenity, Sector 9, Avatar, Despicable Me. Tried a variety to test it out. Working great.
I actually started putting them on an HP MediaSmart WHS server and they stream great on wifi to the Xoom.
Using tvirsity to stream off of WHS.
>Unfortunately, it does not support True HD audio tracks yet
Most converters allow "pass-through" audio. Monolithic converters aside, True-HD and DTS-HD can be processed by a number of standalone tools, to either their DTS/AC3 core, or be converted to AAC/MP3.
>I think the key is to use the DivX compatible .mp4 version, not the h264 which is in my experience choppy on the Xoom.
DivX now uses H.264 in MKV/MP4 container; it's called DivX Plus. It likely retains the old DivX (H.263) codec for backward compatibility. In other words, "DivX" the brand no longer equates to DivX the codec. Anyway, when people encode with DivX, 90% of the time they aren't using DivX, but XviD, which is the open-source, and superior, version.
You are probably using either H.264 baseline or main profile, which is simpler to decode, and (for now) works better on the Xoom.
>Using AnyDVD HD and Handbrake and I am ripping blu ray movies I own. No issues so far.
The latest HandBrake 0.9.5 doesn't support Bluray PGS subtitles, and I haven't seen indication that the nightly builds fix this. As long as you don't need subs, HB is OK for BD rips.
i am traveling this week for the memorial day weekend. i ripped some of my dvd movies and would like to transfer them to my xoom. are there any converters in the market and what format do you guys recommend? what app plays movies on the xoom? thanks in advance.
I use DVD FAB, I have it set to rip to AVI format, tried MP4 but that didnt work very well, would play nicely on the PC but not on the xoom, I use RockPlayer to play using Software Compression

It is not free, but DVD Catalyst is well worth it. It creates very good quality files that play perfectly on the Xoom. They have several presets for the Xoom based on how you plan on watching (Xoom or HDMI).

If you have already ripped your movies you can still use those files with DVD Catalyst, but it can also rip them for you.
I do not work for them or are in any way related, just a happy customer.
If it's a dvd rip, you might be able to get away with moboplayer's (or rockplayer's) software decoding mode. Get it (on your xoom) and try one or two of your rips before you convert everything.
ok guys. i use dvdfab to rip the movie and then purchased dvd catalyst 4 xoom to convert. i uploaded the mp4 video to the xoom and the movie does not play. i downloaded moboplayer with avi codec and it still doesnt play. what movie player do you guys recommend on the xoom??
Moboplayer should defo work. If not try that vplayer trial for 7days should last you for your trip :-D

The MP4 files created with DVD Catalyst play best using the stock video player (since it has better hardware support) however, Gallery tends to be a bit picky.
The best way is to use a file-explorer (es file explorer or root explorer for example) to browse and select the video.
edit: try directly from DVD rather than using dvdfab first. I am not sure if you changed any settings in DVD Catalyst, but try the defaults first. There is a Xoom guide (pdf format) included in the zipfile you downloaded. It makes things a lot easier
I use DVDFab to rip and convert at the same time right from my DVD disc. I use it for MP4/AAC at 20fps, subtitles turned off and choose 2 pass conversion. Comes out really nice. Terminator 2 took about 37mins on my PC and was ready to xfer to my xoom.

Hi guys. Can anybody help me with a good movie player. The movies I put on the streak wont play. It says video cant be played.

I use VitalPlayer from the market. Works good for me.

Try MoboPlayer. It's free on the Market.
Vplayer hands down but its not free...
EDIT: I have switched from vPlayer to MX Player because it allow me to manipulate separate subtitles files now
Rockplayer. There is lite version for free on market
DicePlayer. It's not free, but it's worth every penny. There is also a demo version. HARDWARE decoding of pretty much any MPEG video type regardless of the container. Including MKVs! It also has nice software playback of AVIs.
I paired it up with Mizuu movies (also not free) as a front end and now I have the sweetest video playback setup imagineable.
I can't begin to describe how nice it is to have my movies play smoothly and easily, with full IMDB metadata in a beautiful, simple interface.
For just a few bucks, so worth it.

The MoboPlayer is good enouth. It support many video formats. Cheers.
I just go with the stock player.
Hey guys this is a good video conversion program for virtually any device it comes pre-loaded with 1000's of device profilea. So if you want to convert videos to the closest possible specs for whatever device with good compatibility then try this program:
DVD Catalyst-PM if you need the program
*I also use it to convert 4-8GB MKV to AVCHD with no quality loss. It just remuxes the audio and makes it ready to burn to DVD or DVD-DL so its compatible in PS3 and other Blu-Ray players
Photos are attached. Hope it help some of you
Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg-vXrCFB-E
Yup using this now too ...good selection of settings also.
Or spend 5 dollars and buy Dice Player, it'll play anything 720p smoothly no matter what container or audio with mkv embeded subtitle support too.

Not true.
I have some 720p videos with breaks

Some "complex" MKV scenes doesnt play well with dice player. if they can solve that, I'd gladly buy the app. I've tried a lot of MKV files and none of them play smoothly without slowdowns for the entire duration of the TV show or Movie.

This used to be the case for me but since they released the codec on a separate app some mkvs play bad. Mx video player works pretty good with mkvs now. It's free and there's a optional paid version

Well I use this program to convert cause it gives me a smaller file size and compatible. So its just an option no one says you have to use this.

For Blu-rays I've found DVD Catalyst 4 inadequate because of sync issues. I've also read that by turning off Blu-ray Telecine will correct the issue but it doesn't. So, I had to look at other software to rip and convert my Blu-rays. Also DVD Catalyst 4 set my Kaspersky Antivirus Heuristic off and said it was performing in a way similar to a virus or trojan.
I've found that Aiseesoft Blu-ray Ripper works really well. It has video acceleration and will utilize you're AMD (app acceleration) or a NVidia video card with (Cuda technology). It's normally $39 but you can get it HERE for $23.40 with the coupon code 'SMRT-ADEK'. HERE is a guide as to what settings to use for the TF.
Another great software would be Pavtube Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate which runs $65 but you can get it for $37.70 HERE with coupon code 'SOFT-K8TT'. It makes flawless videos for the TF using the XOOM settings. HERE is a guide on how. It has video acceleration just for NVidia video card. It will also let you select not only different subtitles but allows for 'Only allow forced subtitles'.
When I get home from work I'll upload some clips so you can test them on your TF. Also I suggest you use either Dice Player or MX Video for playback.
EDIT: This is the Pavtube settings. Right click on the picture and 'Save As' to download a short single chapter MP4 file to test on your TF.

How can I move Blu-ray movies to my Tab 2 10.1 and play them?
hmm I believe I tried a ripped blu ray and it didn't work, maybe due to the level and spec.
Your other option (if this is the case) is to convert the file down to something we know will play.
http://www.makemkv.com/download/ to rip
and then any other software prog to re encode, I use ripbot264
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/RipBot264
but you will need to ensure you have installed the other bits of software it needs.
I have been using makemkv and dvd catalyst 4, but i am having problems ripping the subtitles, only the hard encoded ones like in avatar.
I will give ripbot a go.
John.
I have been using Ripbot264 for years. I usually choose "SD iPad" setting
with MKV, 1280x720 resolution, CF22, 2.0 audio, normalized to 100%, and
hard subtitles(if needed). A 2-hour Blu-ray usually end up as a 1.3GB
MKV video file.
Instead of the default video player, I always use DicePlayer.(which plays
somewhat smoother 720p video than MX Player)
have you considered using DicePlayer? they've been successfully been able to play my anime, so maybe they're able to play bd? and if you rip them, i would suggest you also use formatfactory. just be wary when you install it as it tend to install random add-ons but other than that, it worthy to use.
FYI: DicePlayer also play .flv as well. i haven't fully tested it, but i can confirm that it play various format and known format to anime, if you know what i'm tlking about.
I have used the Blu-ray converter to enjoy the HD movies on my tablet and I have got it with the cheap price in the Easter deal, works very well.
MakeMKV and Handbrake.

I watched a 6 gig .mvk file on the Tab 2 today. I also used MX Player. Make sure you check the h/w+ option in the settings. Also if you encoded DTS just search for "mx player dts codec" and you will find one.

It’s an easy job as long as you rip and copy your media from your Blu-rays to your computer’s hard drive or even transfer them to your tablet or phone. An easy-to-use Blu-ray ripper is the key.
You can find some freeware like MakeMKV, but it also has some limit, like it can only help you to rip Blu-ray to MKV format, and it may not work well on Windows 8 or Mac Mavericks.
In this case, you can find a MakeMKV alternative tool like Pavtube Blu-ray ripper
i install xperia movies and i can see all bluray movies with best video and audio
