DVD to Samsung Converter - Play DVD Movies on Samsung Devices Freely

Watching DVD movies on DVD players at home has never been a problem for us. The question is, what if I’d like to enjoy my favorite movies through Samsung devices when on the road? Bringing several discs along tend to be inconvenient, not to mention they jump on the most crucial scenes and are prone to scratches. Now that tablet computers have rocketed into the mainstream, there’s an easy way taking DVD movies alongside, i.e., ripping DVD and putting movies onto an Samsung based tablet. 

As we know, neither Samsung phones nor tablets support playing DVDs, Thus, in order to watch DVD movies on Samsung, you need to convert DVD to Samsung supported video formats (e.g. MP4) first. It can be done effortlessly along with some help from a prefessional DVD to Samsung Conversion tool.This guide takes a review to the top DVD Rippers and figure out which is the best DVD Ripper software for Android tablet and smartphone users. 

What does the Samsung DVD Ripper can do for you? 

A top DVD Ripper for Samsung users that can help you rip DVD to the latest Galaxy Note 7. This DVD to Samsung (Android) converter can remove DVD encryption including CSS, region code, RCE, Sony ArccOS, UOPs, Disney x-project DRM, etc and then convert DVD disc, DVD ISO/IFO, DVD folder to Galaxy Note 7/5/4/3/2 supported MP4, 3GP, WMV, etc with original video quality. It also has Samsung Galaxy own preset for Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, etc so you don't need to adjust A/V parameters by yourself. Actually, That the DVD ripping programs developed by Pavtube Studio, like Pavtube ByteCopy and Pavtube BDMagic, performs well. Pavtube DVDAid is a little weaker than the former two but is still more powerful than the open source Handbrake

Here is a list of top 3 DVD rippers: 

Magic DVD Ripper 

WinX DVD Ripper 

Pavtube DVDAid 

I’ll evaluate the 3 DVD rippers and compare them in aspect of interface design, input format, DVD structure support, Android format support, ripping speed, and video effect to decide which would be the best DVD ripper for Samsung tablet and smartphone users. The guide concerns on DVD to Android conversion so DVD backup and other irrelevant features will not be discussed. 

1. Interface Design (10 points) 

Magic DVD Ripper: Magic’s interface is simple and easy to understand, but I find that movies are getting squashed when preview effect. One point in Magic favor is that it automatically reads the currently inserted DVD. 

WinX DVD Ripper: WinX comes up with a gray interface with all the advanced settings at bottom, making the software looks busy and complicated for beginners. 

Pavtube DVDAid: Despite of the annoying red and black color, Pavtube has an intuitive interface that is easier to start with. The preview window is a high point. 

2. Input Format (10 points) 

Magic DVD Ripper detects and imports DVD from optical drive automatically. If you have a DVD backup on hard drive, you can select and load the VIDEO_TS folder instead. 

WinX DVD Ripper seems smarter; you can whether load a DVD or a VIDEO_TS folder at the very start. However, the software failed to find the correct main movie when I did test with Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (2011) DVD, all it finds are extra movie trailers (e.g. Ice Age 4 as it shows in below sceenshot). Anyway, you should not expect much to a free tool. 

Comparing with Magic and WinX, Pavtube DVDAid supports more file types: DVD, VIDEO_TS structure, DVD ISO and IFO. 

3. DVD Structure Support (10 points) 

A good DVD Ripper lets you decide which titles/chapters to keep in which language you like. Compare in the following chart how the top 3 DVD rippers support DVD structure: 

4. Output Format (20 points) 

Magic DVD Ripper- Magic features adequate common video formats (MP4, AVI, WMV) for average users, but 32 formats are not enough for Samsung fans. As Galaxy Tab owner I would like to put DVD movies onto the 10.1’ tablet and I need a costumed format to ensure smooth playback on my device. Magic support 1 Android tablet only- the Kindle Fire. Hope the old Archos format work for new Archos tabs. 

WinX DVD Ripper- seems that WinX support quite a lot of formats(MP4, MPG, WMV, FLV, MOV), and luckily I managed to find Samsung Galaxy Tab format which works for my device. Are there any other formats for more Android tablets? Well, unfortunately NO. 

Pavtube DVDAid- I was really impressed with the profile list of Pavtube. Here you find almost all the Android tablets on market, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Acer Iconia tabs, Amazon Kindle Fire, Xoom, Toshiba Thrive, etc. And you can also find optimized format for iPad, BlackBerry Surface Pro, etc. Apparently Pavtube software wins hands down on export format. 

Compare and check for a best Samsung formatted DVD Ripper: 

5. Conversion Speed(10 points) 

To keep tests fair, I use the same title (Title 28 of Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked) for ripping, and custom the output format to apply the same setting. 

The source: Title 28 of Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, movie trailer of We Bought a Zoo, 2 mins and 23 secs in length. 

The conversion settings: 

Video- H.264, 640×360, 1500kbps, 30fps 

Audio- AAC stereo, 44.1khz128kbps 

Andre here’s my test result: 

Magic DVD Ripper takes 3 mins and 41 secs to complete conversion and results in a file of 27.2M. 

WinX DVD Ripper performs faster than Magic. It costs 3 mins and 2secs to generate a MP4 file of 27.7M in size. 

Pavtube DVDAid converts DVD fastest. The same conversion takes 2 mins and 50 secs without GPU acceleration. And output file size is 29.8M. 

6. Video Effect (20 points) 

Finally, we come to the most important part we set out to test: how does Magic compare with WinX and Pavtube on aspect of video quality? The following screenshots are the same scene taken from the three output videos. 

Magic DVD Ripper (somehow the picture gets stretched) 

WinX DVD Ripper 

Pavtube DVDAid (a logo is set to put on the screen with trial version) 

Partial enlarged view and compare: Magic vs. WinX vs. Pavtube 

As far as I can see, Magic DVD Ripper failed to keep the original aspect ratio, and gave softer image. The other two presents sharper image with more details, but I noticed that WinX becomes grainy when dealing with bright spots and dark gradients.

Conclusion: 

Pavtube DVDAid is proved to be the best DVD ripper for Samsung tablets and smartphones. It beats Magic DVD Ripper and WinX DVD Ripper for almost every aspect except for interface design. Its developer Pavtube also released an advanced version- Pavtube BDMagic (original $49, now only $34.3), which deals with both DVD and Blu-ray Disc. 

WinX DVD Ripper failed to recognize the main movie during above test, but it’s still a good choice for those who hang on to freeware. Magic DVD Ripper has an important feature that I did not mentioned of, and that’s DVD backup. And this is a nice tool for copying and burning DVDs.

Supported Regions:Netflix is available on Samsung phones with the Samsung Gear VR in all regions where the Netflix service is available. 

Navigation:Browse rows of movie posters or press Search to find movies. 

Resolution:Watch movies and TV shows in 480p resolution. 

Subtitles & Alternate Audio:Select the Audio and Subtitles icon to turn on subtitles and alternate language audio if they are offered by the movie or TV show. 

Option 1. Watch Downloaded Netflix Movies on Samsung Gear VR 

Of course, you need connect the device to Internet and start stream movies from Netflix. When you disconnect the portable devices from Internet. You can't enjoy movie on devices. For example, if you want to stream video for your Gear VR and enjoy when have a vacation in the town which do not have Internet. So, why not download movies from Netflix and convert it to Gear VR video so you can play it while you don't have Internet connected. 

Normally, you can not download Netflix movies or to cache them to watch later on Gear VR since there is no video downloads service from Netflix. So if you downloaded some Netflix movies by using some 3rd-party video downloader, you'd better maker sure: 

1) There is no DRM protection on your downloaded Netflix movies, if yes, remove it. 

2). The video format your downloader saved the Netflix movies is compatible with Gear VR, if not, convert downloaded 2D/3D Netflix to Gear VR first. 

3). The resolution, bit rate and more is suitable so you can watch the Netflix on Gear VR through Samsung Smartphones with a great view. 

See What File Format Are Netflix Movies: 

a. WMV3 and WMA 

WMV3 and WMA were the original file formats used to encode Netflix streaming movies before Microsoft Silverlight was used. WMV3 is the Windows Media 9 codec, as part of the VC-1 video codecs. Versions of Windows Media Player 9 or later were needed to stream Netflix movies. WMA (Windows Media Audio) compressed the audio data supplied to listen to the Netflix movie as it streamed. 

b. Microsoft Silverlight 

Microsoft Silverlight must be installed for current versions of Netflix streaming movies to play. Silverlight is a development platform that can run both audio and video. It is not connected to Windows Media Player, so Netflix viewers do not need Windows Media Player to watch streaming movies. 

c. VC-1 Advanced Profile 

VC-1 (Video Codec) Advanced Profile is the current video software used with Netflix on-demand movies in conjunction with Microsoft Silverlight. VC-1 Advanced Profile is used with both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs, providing high-quality video playback. Microsoft Silverlight supports VC-1 Advanced Profile, and the two programs work together to provide the online video streaming through Netflix. 

d. PlayReady DRM 

Microsoft PlayReady DRM (Digital Rights Management) is technology that brings the VC-1 Advanced Profile encoding to Netflix and provides content access to Netflix viewers. The Digital Rights Management is necessary to prevent copying or pirating of Netflix on-demand movies. Microsoft PlayReady also works in conjunction with Microsoft Silverlight. 

And through 3rd-party video recorder, the Netflix video streaming can be recorded and saved in the video file formats MP4, WMV, AVI, 3GP or others. 

Resolution/Bitrate/Format Playable on Gear VR 

According to my experience, anything over 720p does nothing but turn battery energy into heat, due to the screen resolution. The optimal bit rate is content dependent, and many videos can get by with less, but 5 Mb/s should give good quality. And Samsung Gear VR by default supports most common file formats including MKV, MP4, AVI, and FLV. When it comes to playing 3D videos, Samsung Gear VR requires either side-by-side or top-to-bottom (top down) 

However, most of the Netflix movie may not the format Gear VR supported. 

Since Netflix movies are so popular that the lack of Netflix video support for Gear VR will no doubt bring lots of trouble to its users. Well, what should you do if your Gear VR doesn't have a builtin Netflix player? Don't worry. One great Netflix video converter you can use is Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac to convert the unsupported video to Gear VR format, after that, you can import the converted movie to Gear VR easily. 

This app provides an easy way to convert downloaded Netflix movies to Gear VR supported video formats. With the ultra fast conversion speed, the Mac app enables you to convert video in any popular format including YouTube FLV, MKV DTS, WMV, VOB, MOV, MTS, MXF, etc. with zero quality loss on Mac (El Capitan included).

What's more, with the built-in editor, you can trim, crop, adjust special effect, insert subtitles to downloaded Netflix video, so that you get the very part and effects at your will.

Tip: 

a. Do video settings (optional) 

Click Settings to adjust the parameters like video codec, video bitrate, video frame rate, audio sample rate, audio channel. 1920x1080 compressed side-by-side 3D should be resampled to 1920x540 resolution full side-by-side resolution.

Now you can transfer the converted videos to play with Gear VR easily. See detailed steps: 

Step 1. Make sure you have the correct smartphone. Yes, it’s a silly instruction, but people have been known to make mistakes once in a while, so it doesn’t hurt to check. The Gear VR only works on the following Samsung Galaxy smartphones: Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge+, and Galaxy S7/S7 Edge. 

Step 2. Get a copy of the 3D movies you want to watch and make sure they are in the correct format (.mp4 .m4v .3gp .3g2 .ts .webm .mkv .wmv .asf .avi .flv). Also, check if the audio are in .mp3 or .aac formats. 

Step 3. Place the movies in the correct folder in your phone. To do this, simply navigate to the default folder created by Oculus/Gear VR, but don’t paste them there just yet. Create a new folder within that folder and name it “3D” (/oculus/movies/3d/). That’s where you need to place your 3D movies since the root folder is reserved for your regular 2D movies. 

a. 2D or normal movies you copy/paste into the /oculus/movies/ 
b. for 360 movies you create folder called “360videos” (/oculus/movies/360videos/ ) and copy your 360 videos 

Step 4. Search around the internet for your movies’ posters and copy them on Paint, or any other image editing program you prefer. Do them one at a time, of course. Resize the images to 232 x 344 pixels and save them in the 3D movies folder as .png, making sure that the file names are EXACTLY the same as the respective movies. This will display the movies’ posters when browsing on Gear VR, instead of some random image. It’s entirely optional, though. But it makes things look neat. 

Step 5. Grab some popcorn and start watching your movies. 

Now you see, watching movies on your Gear VR is a simple matter. All you really need to do is copy your movies in the correct folder and you’re good to go.
