Remove DRM from BD/DVD Digital Copy movies for playing on Android Tablet & Smartphone

Q1: “I was tired of the aggravation of trying to get the (digital) copy of my purchased DVD to work and move them to my Kindle Fire HDX after testing almost every program I had. I am looking for a program which can convert my Digital Copy movies. so that I could see them on my Kindle Fire HDX. Help me out.”

Q2: “I just got my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and I want to transfer Digital Copy movies from BD to my new Tab S 10.5  for watching anytime. I dragged the downloaded movie into my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 , it says this movie cannot be played. I don’t have a clue. How to play digital copy movies on Galaxy Tab S 10.5 ? Please give me an solution, thanks.”

Nowadays, many Blu-ray and DVD discs you purchased come with an additional Disc – Digital Copy, which provides you with a digital version of the movie. Your disc provides you with the highest quality home entertainment experience available today and your Digital Copy gives you the flexibility to watch your movie anytime, anywhere. Sounds great, doesn’t it? Well… no.

When you’re trying to play Digital Copy movies from Blu-ray & DVD on an Android-based Tablet or phone like Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge,  Galaxy Tab 4, Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, Google Nexus 10, new Nexus 7, Kindle Fire HDX, Sony Xperia Z2, Moto X, Nook HD, Transformer Infinity TF700 and so on, you will find playback is a blue moon. This is simply the movie industry’s latest attempt to sugar coat Digital Rights Management(DRM). The Digital Copy, however, will not play on unauthorized devices due to DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection. Unfortunately the Android devices have not get a license to play DRM contents, which means Digital Copy movies will not even play on an Android tablet or smartphone. It is a pleasure that 20th Century Fox is aiming to change all that and will be bringing digital copy downloads to Android but I didn’t hear much about it.

In order to transfer Digital Copy movies to an Android-based device for watching, you’ll need to strip DRM from Digital Copies and then convert/record Digital Copy movies to Android supported video formats (MP4 with H.264 video codec is highly recommended). To get the work done, a DRM Removal Software is needed.

Tip:
If you like, you can click “Settings” to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. According to my experience, the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss, and vice versa. Normally, we can choose 720p (1280*720) as output resolution for Android tablet.

Step 3: Click the big “Convert” button to remove DRM and record Digital Copy movies to Android tablet/phone for watching.

Step 4: Transfer Digital Copy to Android tablet.
