Description: This tutorial aims to teach you how to backup DVD to MKV HD(5.1) Video for playback on Himedia 900B with Mac OS X.

Himedia 900B is the world’s number one 3D BD-ISO Media Player. HiMedia have a track record of producing great quality hardware and they have done it again with the 900B. The player itself looks stunning and fits in perfectly with any high-end home theatre setup.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: What Premium Apps are pre-installed?

A: Shoutcast, Youtube, Youtube XL, Dailymotion, Video Podcast, Facebook, Accuweather, Audio Podcast, Flickr, Picasa, Yahoo Weather, Yahoo Finance, Realpilot, Buddy Link, Voole, BBTV.

Q: Why does the 900B have a fan whereas the 900B does not?

A: The 1186 chip runs warmer than the 1185, so although the players have the same construction a cooling fan is necessary for the 900B.

Q: What is BD-Lite?

A: BD-Lite is a custom menu provided by the player that allows you to select chapter, subtitles, audio tracks. etc. There is a photo of it working here: HiMedia 900 BD-Lite. Using this mode you should be able to play all BD-ISOs, 3D and 2D. The reason the player has such a mode is that it doesn’t support the Java menus found in BD-Profile 1.1

Q: Formats for SBS (side-by-side) 3D?

A: SBS 3D is supported in half resolution. To get full-HD (1080p) 3D the encoding must be MVC as found in 3D Blu-Ray.

Q: What is Android installation like?

A: Because the Realtek 1186 is a MIPS chipset rather than ARM like most Android devices, App compatability is limited. For instance Dolphin HD browser runs but Opera Mobile doesn’t. Flash is not available.

Q: SATA3 Hard Drives?

A: We believe that the Realtek 1186 based player are not comatible with the new SATA3 hard drives of 3TB+ capacity.

Q: Can I freely enjoy DVDs on Himedia 900B with 5.1 audio?

A: The supported formats show that Himedia 900B does not support to play DVD directly. To get DVD collection backed up and at the same time get them converted to 1080p MKV format which is supported by Himedia 900B for entertainment playing with 5.1 audio, you can try to use Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac.

ByteCopy for Mac could do the following functions:

Automatically detect Blu-ray/DVD main movie
Full disc copy Blu-ray/DVD by chapters without quality loss
Rip/convert/backup BD/DVD to any other format for playback on any iOS/Android/Windows tablets and phones

Support TrueHD 6.1 and TrueHD 7.1 decoding

Now your are sold lets get started!

To begin:

Launch the program and add the movie you want to encode by clicking the “add file” icon on the main interface. You can see the chapter information of your DVD movies on the main interface after you loading to the program.

Then choose the output format. To get 5.1 audio, you’d better choose the “MKV HD Video (*.mkv)” from “HD Video” which is supported by Himedia 900B.

To preserve chapter structure, you can select videos from “Multi-track Video” option, and choose the MKV format, you can output the BD/DVD with lossless quality and allow multiple audio tracks, multiple subtitles.

In this article you would learn how to legally free iTunes videos from DRM protection and record your iTunes video to new Nexus 7 and old Nexus 7 for playing with high quality.

I love my old Nexus 7, but I can’t wait to get the new Nexus 7. The new Nexus 7 picks up where the old one left off. It’s got a bigger screen, without sacrificing the overall size of the device. It’s got a faster processor, more storage space, side-firing speakers, and a higher resolution screen (which we hope will have better color and saturation). It’s got more internal storage space and is available in an (almost) universal LTE version.

I have high expectations of the new Nexus 7 and old Nexus 7, but based on everything we’ve seen so far, I doubt something will be disappointing that iTunes movies cannot be transferred to new Nexus 7 or old Nexus 7 due to the DRM protection. In order to enable iTunes videos on Nexus 7, you need remove DRM protection from iTunes movies in advance.

How to enable iTunes video/music DRM-free for new Nexus 7 and old Nexus 7?

Step 1: Install the DRM Removal program – Pavtube ChewTune.

(Money-saving Tips:)

ChewTune ($29) + Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate($65) = Only $75, Save $19
ChewTune for Mac($29) + iMedia Converter for Mac($65) = Only $75, Save $19
ChewTune($29) + ByteCopy($42) = Only $54, Save $17
ChewTune for Mac($29) + ByteCopy for Mac($42) = Only $54, Save $17

Pavtube ChewTune is developed as a professional DRM Removal tool and DRM Video Recorder to help users legally strip off DRM protection from iTunes M4V movies, Amazon Instant Videos and Digital Copy so that you are able to watch almost all DRM movies on multiple smartphones and tablets anywhere you like.

Top 5 Best DRM Removal Programs Review for Android, Windows 8 Tablets/Phones

Step 2: Start the Top DRM removal software, hit the “Add video” button and browser the source iTunes videos location for loading.

Note: If you are running a trial version of Pavtube DRM Removal Tool, make sure you have turned off iTunes before running this app to ensure its stability.

Step 3. From the “Format” drop-down list, choose suitable profile for new Nexus 7 and old Nexus 7. Here I suggest you choose “Android -> Google Nexus 7 H.264 Video (*.mp4)” as output format.


Optional – If you like, you could adjust profile settings including video codec, bitrate, frame rate, etc to get better video and audio quality for watching iTunes movies on new Nexus 7 and old Nexus 7.

Step 4. Hit the “Convert” button to start recording iTunes movies. After it finishes, click the “Open” icon to locate the recorded iTunes movie, and you are ready to transfer it to your new Nexus 7 and old Nexus 7, it’s very easy.

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 Nexus 7 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.

Now you can sync and play iTunes videos on new Nexus 7 and old Nexus 7 without DRM restriction.
