Question: 

Hi! I'd like to know how to legally copy original Disney DVDs inside my ipad, I can't even use them with my Mac!! I'm sure there must be an easy way and not illegal, otherwise, I'll have to use a ripper or a pc... Thanks to all from sunny Spain! 

Best answers: 

If you want your children to access the DVD movies at all iPad models when travelling, you might consider BDMagic for Mac. We haven't used it, but user reviews are very good. 

Plus, another definite work-around is a wireless external hard drive like the Seagate Wireless Plus. Wireless is built-in so it's load up all the videos, re-fully charge the hard drive and go! It's one more thing to carry, but if you're looking to keep children entertained on long trips or even on shopping trips, this could be a great help. Check it out on Amazon or whatever you might use for electronics. 


As above, the following post shows you how to get DVD movies to iPad or backup DVD to Seagate wireless plus hard drive for streaming to iPad. 

iPad is a popular iOS device which can be taken as a media player that could store and play various HD movies. But as we know it doesn't support DVD playback. So when it comes to playing DVD movies to iPad on the go, you may consider to get an iPad optimal format to play or backup to Seagate wireless plus hard drive for easily syncing. 

Personally I recommend Pavtube BDMagic for Mac for newbies that are blown away by format settings like codec, resolution, bit rate, frame rate, audio channels, etc. The app, unlike most BD/DVD ripping software, features intuitive interface and provides users with presets for all popular iPad models. (yet it allows you to adjust the bit rate, frame rate, etc of preset formats as long as you like). 

You are free to try free trial version (Pavtube BDMagic is for Windows users). 

1. Load DVD video files to Pavtube BDMagic for Mac. 

Run this Pavtube DVD to iPad Ripper, click the top left icon, you can choose to import DVD from ROM, DVD folder or DVD ISO/IFO. It will check the main title by default; moreover, ISO files could also be recognized automatically so that you no longer need to run virtual drive to mount it. 
 
2. Choose MP4 for playing on iPad or storing on Seagate wireless plus hard drive. 

Under "Format" menu, there are lots of video formats. Move your cursor to "iPad" category to choose "iPad Video H.264(*.mp4)", or you can try the small search box on the bottom right corner and select the exact output formats for your iPad. 

P.S. If you want to copy DVD onto Seagate wireless plus hard drive, select "Common Video > H.264 Video(*.mp4)". 

 
3. Start conversion. 

Click big "Convert" button to start conversion. It won't take much time for conversion and then you will get the converted mp4 once completed. Hit "Open" button you will go to location of generated files. 

Now you can directly play DVD on iPad on the go or fully enjoy your DVD streamed from Seagate wireless plus hard drive whenever you wanna.

It is quite hard to upload TiVo videos to Plex Media Sever for streaming to Roku, Xbox 360, PS3, Android/iOS devices? As a matter of fact, all these issues are caused by the file format compatibility. As far as I know, Plex can’t handle TiVo format. TiVo is an encrypted video format, that’s why few media players can play it well and some freeware can’t handle it. To get the work done, I found more than one people recommend Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate to encode TiVo to Plex. Here is review

Overall, this video app is professional on fast transcoding TiVo to Plex Media Server with MP4 format without quality loss. In addition, it not only supports TiVo videos, but also handles various common video formats, like MKV, MXF, MTS, MOV, MP4, AVI, WMV .etc. Plus, with the built-in video editor, you can also choose to trim, crop, add watermark to your original videos. Here our task is to encode TiVo to MP4 for Plex Media Server. The process is much simple. For Mac users, iMedia Converter for Mac is also a helpful app to encode TiVo to Plex on Mac OS X(Yosemite, Mavericks included) for further usage. Follow below guide to start TiVo movie to Plex conversion on Windows 10. 

How to Convert and Play TiVo shows via Plex Media Server 
 


Step 1. Load TiVo files 

After the successful installation, click “Load file(s)” or “Add video”to load TiVo video into the program. 

 

Tip: When first loading, Pavtube TiVo Converter will ask you to input your Media Access Key. Simply press “Option” button and switch to “TiVo” tab to enter your Media Access Key, and click “OK” to confirm. 

 

Step 2. Select output format 

Click “Format” and choose MP4 from “Common Video” as output format, the mostcompatible video format for Plex

 

Note: The output format is preferably in a common format, like MP3 for audio, MPEG-4 for video. The more common format you use, the more devices you can stream to. For example, if you use FLAC instead of MP3 for your music, you can’t stream to your Xbox 360. Just keep in mind that not all devices support all formats of media. 

Step 3. Edit TiVo Videos (Optional) 

Simply click Settings bar and you can tweak the settings to your satisfaction. With the right settings you can retain the quality of the original videos while also saving space. This is particularly helpful when streaming over your network, depending on your network quality. 

Step 4. Start TiVo to Plex Conversion 

Tap the Conversion button on the main interface to start transcoding TiVo to Plex Media Server. 

The process will be finished soon. After the conversion, you can easily find the encoded TiVo video clips in the destination folder by clicking “Open” button for playing and sharing to your other devices via Plex Media Server. Then follow here to add movies to Plexto make your media experience easy and enjoyable. Enjoy Plex! 

Additional Tips: If you haven’t got TiVo files ready on your PC, follow the steps: Launch TiVo Desktop software on your PC. Connect TiVo to your home network, and then the TiVo Desktop will provide you with a list of shows for transferring to your PC. Then please transfer the TiVo TV shows you want to PC. Once all the shows you selected have been downloaded from your TiVo, they will appear in the Now Playing list in TiVo Desktop. 

Now, Plex Media Server will recognize, play and stream these TiVo recordings beautifully.
