Fire TV Stick vs Chromecast 2 vs Roku Streaming Stick For Your TV

Media streaming stick makes media streaming on TV easier or cheaper. Just plug this little device into one of your TV's HDMI ports, and you've stepped into a world of streaming goodness. The popular media streaming in the market has Fire TV Stick, Chromecast 2 and Roku Streaming Stick.



Facing with many choices, you may don’t know which one to choose. So here let’s do a side-by-side comparison of these three top media streaming sticks:

See Also: Roku Stick vs. Roku 4/3 | Roku 4 vs Fire TV (2015) 


  • Chromecast: The original streaming stick, Google’s Chromecast, uses your phone or tablet as the interface and remote, instead of a menu on the TV. It does, however, support a wide array of apps and services directly from your phone.
  • Roku Streaming Stick: Roku’s stick comes with a remote and a TV interface, so it works a lot more like its set-top counterpart. You can’t cast from as many apps natively as you can with a Chromecast, but Roku makes up for this with its remote app for your phone.
  • Amazon Fire TV Stick: Like the Roku, the Fire TV Stick uses a physical remote and a TV menu interface. Amazon also has a remote app, but it’s not as fully featured as the Roku.


Design and Remote Comparison

The Amazon Fire TV Stick and the Roku Streaming Stick sport similar designs – they're compact sticks that plug into your TV's HDMI port. They all resemble old-fashioned USB sticks or mobile internet dongles.

Chromecast 2 takes on a disk shape, and connects to your TV with a short USB chord. This is actually better than the other two in terms of compatibility, as it fits in any TV with an HDMI port, whereas some TVs don't work well with the stick approach.

One thing that's worth pointing out is that all three require external powering, so you'll have to attach a Micro USB cable and plug it into the mains. This does dilute the simplicity factor somewhat, but it's definitely not a deal-breaker.

As the Amazon and Roku units are fairly nondescript, it puts more focus on the design and functionality of the remote. Both come with one, and very decent they are too. We'd always prefer to control something with a physical press rather than a virtual one. As we'll mention shortly, however, a remote wouldn't really suit the Chromecast 2.

Unlike the fully powered Fire TV's remote, the standard controller that comes with the Stick doesn't have any nifty voice-control tech, which is a shame. You can specify one when you come to buy the stick, for an extra 10, or instead use the pretty acceptable app for all your voice-control needs.

Again, the Roku remote loses some of the more 'premium' features of its pricier siblings. There's no headphone jack, for example, but we can't be too bitter at this price point.

Performance and Spec Comparison

Amazon Fire TV has dual-core CPU which is about six times more powerful than the Roku Streaming Stick's single-core equivalent, and its 1GB of RAM is double that of both its rivals. It also boasts 8GB of storage – 32 times more than the piddly 256MB offered in its rivals.

On the Roku Streaming Stick we were met with a much slower interface that often froze, stumbled and seemed to struggle with even the easiest task. Downloading apps always gave us a few seconds of complete inoperability and opening them up took what seemed like a few seconds. In fact it was less, but the slow splash screens made it seem like we were waiting much longer than we should.

Google's Chromecast 2 is harder to compare in terms of speed – it doesn't have an interface you need to navigate and there are no apps to install on the device itself, so it doesn't really need a whole lot of power. The best we can say is that streaming from your phone is nice and quick.

Conclusion

After the comparison, which media streaming stick will you choose? The current front-runner in terms of pure usability is, quite clearly in our eyes, Amazon's Fire TV Stick. It's easily the fastest of the three, which leads to a smooth interface, and there's plenty of accessible content. Yes, there's a definite bias towards the brand's own content, but as that's pretty good anyway we can't complain too much.

How to Play Blu-Ray BDMV folder with VLC?

VLC maybe is the most popular media player software, which can run on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc. Its official site claims that the 2.0 and later version support Blu-ray media playback with some extra operations. But strangely, some people will have troubles in playing Bluray BDMV folder in VLC:

“I have a Blu-Ray folder and I've tried opening the BDMV file in it with VLC but it doesn't open it properly, displaying a menu and all that Jazz. Instead, it seems it just parses that file to play everything inside it willy nilly, choking on JAR files and other stuff.”

If you can’t play Bluray BDMV folder in VLC, you should make sure you use the "open BDMV folder" function in the open panel, and you need to choose the upper folder which contains the bdmv folder (with VLC 2.1.3). Still failing? Maybe because VLC bluray support is still rather experimental. And your Blu-ray producer just make it harder to play its discs.

Or, you can try to rip your Bluray BDMV folder to VLC supported digital format like MP4, MKV, etc with a Blu-ray RipperPavtube ByteCopy is a nice choice. It can rip and convert any copy & region protected Blu-ray, Blu-ray BDMV folder to VLC supported MP4, MKV, MOV, WMV, etc with excellent video quality and fast speed. 

It also can convert DVD, DVD IFO/ISO to VLC supported MP4, MKV, etc with original video quality. It allows you to adjust video/audio codec, resolution, bitrate, channel, frame rate, display aspect ratio and deinterlacing video, rotate video, add/extract subtitle to Blu-ray/DVD video, add watermark, trim/crop video.

Can You Play DVD Series on PC in Episodes?

A TV show lasting 8 seasons is likely to make you give up because you don’t believe yourself that you can take 2 hours everyday to watch the episodes. That may be the reason why TV Series DVD becomes popular, like the bloody TV show Hannibal. When you get a TV Series DVD, you perhaps play the TV Series DVD video on PC with DVD drive. 



But when your PC is too old or you have stored too many things on PC, it’s probably a little bit noisy when you directly play TV Series DVD on PC with internal DVD drive. And a TV Series DVD video is normally at least 4 hours even longer. When you play the TV Series DVD on PC with the physical DVD disc, your disc is easy to get scratched. So as your TV Series DVD video is too long or you want a quiet environment to enjoy your TV Series DVD video on PC, I suggest you to rip TV series DVD's to PC in order to watch them without the DVD disc and DVD drive.

In all likelihood, any commercial TV Series DVD will be copy protected. So when you would like to rip an entire TV Series DVD disc set and convert the episodes to individual MP4 files for your Windows Media Play on PC, you need a DVD Ripper (Learn DVD Ripper vs. DVD Copier). Today we’ll take a look at how to setup and batch process an entire TV Series DVD set on PC using PavtubeDVDAid (See other choices)and the H.264 codec.

Pavtube DVDAid can remove DVD copy protection on TV Series DVD and then convert TV Series DVD to seperate MP4, WMV episodes to play on PC with WMP. Of course, it also can rip TV Series DVD to MOV episodes to iTunes then you can enjoy the TV Series DVD on iPhone 5se, iPad Air 3. It can keep original video quality but if you need to compress the TV Series DVD size, you can adjust video resolution and bitrate to get smaller size.

For Mac users, pls use Pavtube DVDAid for Mac

How to rip TV Series DVD to PC in separate episodes?

Step 1: Load TV Series DVD

Launch the program and add the TV Series DVD you want to rip by clicking the “Load from Disc” icon on the main interface. Select the Title dropdown list and inspect the listings. You’ll see a group of titles and durations. And the whole main title of the TV Series DVD has been ticked automatically. You should find a group of titles with running times that match the approximate running time of a single episode in the series.

In our example, we are converting a series of one hour shows, so we have two titles running close to an hour. For a broadcast TV program it will be more like 40-45 minutes for an hour show and 20 minutes or so for a half hour program. You may want to refer to the original DVD if you aren’t sure of the number of episodes per disc and running times. You can ignore any additional smaller clip. They are likely to be intros and extras. Select the first title you’d like to add from the dropdown list.



Step 2: Choose outptu format

Click “Format”, you can find many video formats in the dropdown list, you can choose the one you need like “H.264 HD Video(*.mp4)” from “HD Video” option.



Tip: Click “Settings”then a new window will pop up. Here, you can adjust A/V parameters and adjust the video size on your own. You can preview the output video parameters and size in the chart. 



Step 3: Start to rip TV Series DVD to PC

Hit the “Convert” button to rip TV Series DVD to PC in MP4 format. Just wait a moment and then you can output the videos including all chapters of the episode you needed.

After ripped TV Series DVD to PC, then you can enjoy the TV Series DVD video on PC with WMP without DVD disc and DVD drive.

Here is a guide for you to add external English subtitle to "Son of Saul".

Part One: Brief Introduction on "Son of Saul"

“Son of Saul” begins with a long, unbroken shot of mesmerizing intricacy. The year is 1944 at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Saul Auslander (Géza Röhrig), a member of the camp’s Sonderkommando—prisoners forced to help the Nazis exterminate Jews, thereby delaying their own deaths for a few months—walks toward the camera from far off in the woods before finally coming into focus in the center of the frame. From there, Hungarian director and co-writer László Nemes follows Saul as he goes about his daily work herding new arrivals toward the undressing room and into the gas chamber. They’d been promised hot meals and well-paying jobs, something Saul has heard countless times before. Clearly, none of that is in store for these people.
