Hey everyone!
Well my girlfriend just bought me a new Nexus 7 for xmas. I run strictly Mac OS X as I do a lot of graphic design.
Well I have had an iTunes gift card for a while now however Apples DRM stops me from transferring music, movies, and books onto any system other than iOS.
Is there any well known apple based software that will allow me to remove apples drm for books, music, and movies? Im not really concerned on price of the software, however the closer to free, the better.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I found "Calibre" which supposedly does books, however it wont find any books that i have on iTunes.
Thanks a bunch!
Itunes music should be drm free, then u export them with itunes to the .mp3 format. I would highly reccomend using the google play music "scan and match"or amazon cloud player.

Hey,
Thanks for that. What about books and movies?
Almost 100 views and only one reply? Has no one ever tried doing this?

Has anyone experienced any audio/video syncing problem? I have noticed this problem with streaming video (mainly youtube, I am located in Europe and I have no access to Netflix or Hulu) and with video files played with media players (like stock, rockplayer, mx video player). I have also noticed that there is a different amount of lag with different types of files but there is always some lag.
I have experienced this using both the stock amazon rom and cm7.
Is there anyone else with this issue or is something wrong with my fire?
I had this issue with Netflix today.

My Netflix is off as well. Unfortunate indeed....I want to go back to stock from cm7 and see if it works better on stock.

I am stock, never been rooted.
I had some sync issues when trying to play certain codecs or videos of certain resolutions, seems kind of random though.
I have this issue with almost all video. Netflix is always out of sync, and most videos from the internet as well. Did a side by side of same exact video with a Samsung Galaxy 7.0 (not plus), and all video was perfect on it. Im boxing it up and sending it back. Sucks because I really wanted to like it.

Hey I just installed Cyanogen on my Fire and it is no longer out of sync. So this proves that it is a software issue and that Amazon needs to fix it.
In on cm7 and mine is still out of sync

Hey all, I'm interested in getting the Nexus 7 when it becomes available, and was wondering if anyone that has one or knows if Play Books on the Nexus 7 supports non-store downloaded epub books? I know there are some markets apps like Aldiko and others that allow you to use your own files, but I like the look of Play Books, and wanted to keep all my books in there.
I've tried searching Google and these forums, but haven't really found any solid information.
Thanks for any info.
No it does not. I use mobi format with the Kindle app instead.

And I use Nook for ePub for the same reason. Once there's a way to use Play Books as a reader app for all my books, not just Google purchased, I'll be on it for sure.

For epub I use Aldiko, combine that with tuebl.com and you're set. You can configure the in app catalog to search directly from the website.
Or try moon+ reader.

My favorite ebook reading app is Mantano Reader if you are looking for another option
It is supported now!
Support for reading your own PDF or EPUB files. You can upload the files through our website play.google.com/books/uploads, and read them on all your devices.
Refreshed design including the library, Table Of Contents view and the recommendation page at the end of books.
A confirmation dialog to prevent you from accidentally un-downloading a book.
Stability and performance improvements.

It does now. You have upload the file via computer.

Epub works well. For me sometimes it couldn't get the book cover on Play Books so I used Calibre to add a cover and then uploaded it. The app is very polished.
Does anyone know if it's better for long number of pages pdfs ?

cant. sigh..
what i did and i've downloaded a few times is remove the google account on your device, go into location settings and click them all off.. clear the play store and play movies app settings.. then connect to your vpn... then launch your play store, sign in using your existing google account, then open play movies... movie should be there.. pin it for download..
---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------
i have a separate question re the movie, i have downloaded it and can watch it in play movies but is there anyway to 'extract' the movie from play movies and watch in mx player or copy onto my pc for watching again? it take up about 2gb of space on the device... i'm guessing its wrapped in drm..
also re other movies in the store.. there only seems to be an option to rent or purchase... can you download other purchases for offline viewing?

If you want to keep a backup, can go to Android/data/com.google.android.videos
and copy the file inside the folder with the very long name.
I don't think our can view it off from outside the tablet itself, but you can give it a try though.

Anyone having more luck here? Since once has DRM-rights to the file, maybe there is a work-around so one can watch the movie elsewhere (as opposed to android os and play-store)?
How is the image quality/resolution of the movies from the Play Store?
Is there a better source for HD movies, either rental or buy?
It doesn't look like Amazon will suport the N10, correct?
Is Ultraviolet any good?

The play store movies and videos offer very good image quality and have recently been optimized for the nexus 10's high resolution display. Google plays video quality is high enough as it is but 1080p Blurays might offer you better quality. Amazon doesn't seem to support it now but it may in the future, you could always download the video then use a video converter such as handbrake to convert it for the nexus 10. Ultraviolet is so-so it's not as mature or perfected as Netflix or Amazon instant videos and many people I know have had bad experiences with it.

Looks like Ice Age HD is included with our Nexus 10. So far the quality for this movie really looks good. Can't complain.

I tried using the app from the link below. It opens up but crashes when I try to watch a movie. I tried signing on through the browser but it didn't help. I should say that I don't have prime yet. I'm thinking on buying it if I can use it on my nexus 10.

I don't think steaming works yet, but you could download the videos Amazon offers then convert them to play on the nexus 10. Also the app you mentioned hasn't been updated to work with jelly bean which would probably explain the force closes your getting.

If you run a plex media server on a desktop, you can add an amazon instant video channel and then watch it from your plex app on your tablet.

Thank you very much guys! I still don't understand why amazon won't make an app for android. it should be easier than releasing one for iOS.
Looking for a straight answer on this as I can't get the info in black and white from Google searches .
I have a 2012 Nexus 7.
I may get a Roku 2
Can I play a movie that I have downloaded on my 2012 nexus 7 on the big screen, via the roku?
So say I have .... Alien 3, on my nexus 7 2012, I wanna put that image on the main TV, can the roku 2 accommodate this?
Cheers guys

no you can´t Roku only supports video streaming on IOS...
and the rest is also not possible with the Roku, get a miracast device, that would work better for you!
Chromecast works for me....

Doesn't Chromecast only play movies you have bought from the Play Store? I've made legitimate copies of TV series that I keep on my tablet. The $35 Chromecast is better than a miracast device for the price but only if it can do what I'd like.

You can play any media on your tablet with chrome cast using the app avia or real player cloud.. I use the app show box to download TV shows. Works great...

OK I'll track down a chromecast then if it'll do what I need. I don't have a smart TV yet so at the moment if I'm sat on the sofa and download a movie on the nexus7 I have to go hooking up the 7 to a laptop to transfer file to that, then HDMI from that to TV and its a bit of a pain at times lol
I thought the roku supported what I'm trying to do from another bunch of stuff I stumbled on through Google searches see but, I'll go chromecast

You can push media to the Roku using an app called Juice for Roku. It's on the Playstore and on the Roku side you use:
owner.roku.com/add/juice
...to install the app on to the Roku.
One of these may have a one-time fee associated with it.
