First of all, you need download and install a free copy of the best DVD Ripper to Google Nexus smartphone or tablet on your computer. It is a 100% clear software and allows you to access all the functions. 

3 Steps to Rip DVD ISO/IFO image files to Nexus 5, new Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and Nexus series support video format

Step 1. Run this Top DVD Ripper, as the DVD ISO/IFO to Nexus Converter.
  
Click “Load file” to choose Load IFO/IFO file. It will recognize the ISO/IFO image file automatically so that you will not have to run virtual drive to mount the ISO any more.


  
Step 2. Select Nexus 5, new Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and Nexus series compatible format.
   
Find “Format” on the right of the window and click. Select Android > Google Nexus 7 H.264 Video(*.mp4) (Same as Nexus 5). It gives the best format: MP4 (H.264 & AAC).



Or you can choose a profile for general Android devices which is compatible with Google/LG Nexus 5 as well.
  


Tips:

1. If you like, you can click “Settings” to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. Remember the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution which means itrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss. According to my experience, for watching videos on the Nexus 5, 720p with 1500~2500kbps is just all right.

2. Or click “Edit” button to trim video into several segments by setting a specific output file size, append special effects, crop video screen area, add text/picture watermark.

Step 3. Start the DVD ISO/IFO conversion.

When everything is OK, just press the “Convert” button to start the DVD ISO/IFO to Nexus MP4 conversion. It will not take much time. Just wait for the conversion process to get done. 

Note: Keep in mind that some of the settings can be tweaked to improve the video quality but it’s a balance between quality and size. Using the settings we suggested, a 120-minute Blu-ray encoded to about a 1.3GB MP4 file.

After the conversion, you can click “Open output folder” to quick locate the converted video.

Apple vs. Samsung trial round two: Samsung infringed three patents, owes Apple $119.6 million


Here we go again. 2012's patent trial of the century -- which was all about whether certain Samsung devices were utilizing Apple technology without paying for it -- resulted in abillion dollar win for Apple. Yet, at the time we knew a second case, involving different patents and devices, was brewing on the horizon. The trial for that other case is finally over (almost), and the jury has rendered a verdict -- though there's still a damages issue regarding the Galaxy S II set to be decided on Monday, which could change the final damages tally. In general terms, the verdict's not a complete win for either party, as Apple owes Samsung $158,400 and Samsung will have to cut Apple a check for $119,625,000, a far cry from the $6.2 million and $2.2 billion the parties asked for, respectively. Why? Apple devices infringed one of two asserted Samsung patents, while Samsung phones and tablets infringed three of Apple's five asserted patents.

Apple got a complete victory on patent number 5,946,647, as the jury found that all ten Samsung devices at issue infringed -- for the uninitiated, that list includes the Admire, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and Stratosphere. That patent's for a technology that enables links clicked in one application to open other applications (like an address in an email opening up in a maps app). Apple was also successful with its famed slide-to-unlock patent (no. 8,046,721), but to a lesser degree: only some Samsung devices were found to have used it. Cupertino came up empty with two of its other patents: 6,847,959(for universal search), 7,761,414 (for background sync). Patent number 8,074,172 (for word recommendation/autocomplete technology), was also at issue in the case, but presiding Judge Lucy Koh already found that Samsung devices infringed that patent on summary judgement back in January.

Samsung, meanwhile, went one for two. Apparently, a (very small) number of Apple devices infringe patent number 6,226,449, for camera and photo organization technology, but Samsung was unsuccessful in proving Apple infringed Samsung's patent number5,579,239 that covers some video transmission tech.

As with the conclusion of most every courtroom battle, we can expect there to be appeals filed on both sides, so the case isn't fully closed. However, this latest result has to have the folks in Seoul and Mountain View feeling pretty good. $120 million is just another line item in Samsung's mobile business budget, and the two patents Google agreed to indemnify Samsung against played no part in Apple's victory. Speaking of, while Apple certainly came out ahead on the monetary score card, it only received a fraction of the money it asked for, so it's safe to say that Tim Cook's probably not real thrilled with the outcome.

Samsung Levels Up with New Level Series of Audio Products

Just hours ago, Samsung officially unveiled the Samsung GALAXY K Zoom. In addition to this smartphone/camera hybrid, the company also took the opportunity to announce a new series of premium audio products called the 'Level' series. 
 

Pictured here is Samsung's Level series. (from L-R) The Level Over, Level On and Level Box. Beneath the Level Box is the Level In.
 

Part of the Level series is the Level Over, Level On, Level In and Level Box. The Level Over is Samsung's flagship over-ear headphone, offering features such as an ergonomic design, touch controls and wireless Bluetooth pairing. Inside each earpiece is a 50mm neodymium Dynamic Driver for excellent sound reproduction capabilities. On the outside, its structure is made from Bio Cellulose to minimize unwanted vibrations. Best of all, the Level Over makes use of active noise cancellation to keep the noise out and music in.
 
That's not all. The Level Over's functionality can be enhanced further if you're pairing it with an Android device that has the newly developed Samsung Level app. With this app installed, users can fine tune their listening experience by enabling a variety of EQ options.
As for the Level On, it's also an over-ear headphone, though with significantly less features than the Level Over. It's powered by two 40mm neodymium drivers that have dual layered diaphragms. The Level In on the other hand, is an in-ear earphone. Its three-way speaker technology offers rich audio quality with clear sound separation.
 
Finally, we have the Level Box, which is a compact Bluetooth speaker. It sports a metal grille, which protects a single, 56mm stereo speaker and a passive radiator. Together, these two provide audio that's crisp and balanced. With an integrated microphone that has noise reduction technology onboard, the Level Box makes for a good solution for conference calls. The Level Box is also equipped with NFC technology to allow users to easily connect their smartphones to it.
 
Here's a brief breakdown of the specifications of Samsung's Level series: 
  
  
The Level series will be available sometime in May, worldwide. Local pricing and availability remains to be confirmed. 


Watching mobile content on your TV: A quick overview

[commentary] They have similar names and do comparable things, but the various tech for getting content from your phone or tablet onto your TV work in very different ways. 
 
 
Amazon's Fire TV can act as a Miracast receiver. 

There are many brands of tablets and smartphones, a handful of major TV and home audio-video providers, and a smattering of operating system providers. Combine these technologies and you end up with a seemingly endless number of ways to get video, music, and other content from your handheld device to the television, a feature sometimes known as "throwing." As a result, there are now more "throwing" approaches in the market than in the pitching roster of a professional baseball team.
 
Which one is right for you can depend on the gear you own, the apps you use, and the patience you have for emerging approaches. Here's a breakdown of several popular technologies and devices you can use to throw content from your phone or tablet to the biggest screen in your living room.
AirPlay is Apple's technology for sharing music and video across a Wi-Fi network. The technology made its debut with the AirPort Express portable hotspot as a way to share music from iTunes to stereos and then extended into some third-party products that licensed the technology from Apple. Its scope expanded to take on video with the refocusing of Apple TV as an accessory to iPhones and iPads, although a few third parties have found ways of implementing receiver support in other products without Apple's blessing.
 
AllShare is Samsung's technology for sharing music, photos, and video between its mobile devices and its home products, such as TVs and home theater systems, over Wi-Fi. It's essentially Samsung's branding of Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) technology optimized for its own devices.
 
AllPlay is Qualcomm's technology for sending music to a range of devices around the home. It is related to a number of device-to-device communication initiatives being promoted by the wireless chipmaker. These include AllJoyn for peer-to-peer device communications and AllSeen for the "Internet of everything" embedded devices. While most other technologies work only over Wi-Fi, AllPlay can work over virtually any kind of connection, including Bluetooth and even wired Ethernet for what will generally be the best reliability. It currently works only with audio products, but supports multiroom installations.
 

 
The Gramofon music streamer supports AllPlay. Miracast is an effort by the folks who brought you Wi-Fi to send video from a range of generally smaller-screened devices, mainly Android, to your television. Not surprisingly, it builds off the Wi-Fi Direct technology which lets users create a private (ad-hoc) network between their device and their television. You can think of it as AirPlay for everything else. Microsoft added support for Miracast with version 8.1 of Windows. And Google is a supporter despite the Chromecast not using the technology. Miracast also has snuck its way into a few products, including the Gamestick Android console and Amazon's Fire TV.
 
Chromecast is Google's little stick that plugs into an HDMI connector on your TV, but requires a power source -- either a USB port or a traditional power outlet. Once connected to your Wi-Fi network, it supports a growing number of video and music apps, including YouTube (of course), Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora, and SlingPlayer. Unlike other solutions, Chromecast simply redirects video streams from the Internet rather than your local device so you can put away your phone once you start viewing if you're willing to give up controls such as pause and fast-forwarding.
 
AllCast is an Android app by user-advocate developers ClockworkMod, the same folks who brought us apps to manage Android ROMs, customized versions of the mobile OS, and tether without a tethering plan. Originally known as AirCast (a capitalization away from a brand of joint braces), the app supports a remarkably broad array of devices, including Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, Amazon's recent Fire TV, and many Wi-Fi-enabled televisions. The app is free to download, but getting anything more than a taste of its capabilities will require the $5 premium version. 
 
AirPlay and AllShare are established technologies that are optimized for Apple and Samsung products -- making them a good option for people who already own products from those companies. Miracast and AllPlay are broader industry initiatives that are still relatively early in their development and so have limited device support today. The Chromecast is somewhere in the middle. It's an inexpensive way to get some content to your TV. It doesn't work directly with all video services, but the library is growing quickly. Finally, AllCast can help bridge the bridges, but since it's a third-party unauthorized app, be sure to keep it up to date as its updates can fix glitches introduced by manufacturer changes.
 
As I mentioned, the devices you own and the apps you like to use will largely determine which throwing technology you end up using to get content from your phone to your TV. But at least now you'll be able to tell them all apart.
