What Technologies Bring Off Fast DVD Copy of Star Wars: The Force Awakens?
Bypass DVD Copy Protections: The Oscar “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” DVD has high-tech copy protections inside, which challenges common DVD clone software and makes them crash or work out of order during personal DVD backup. Rare DVD cloner can defeat this, but some cutting-edge technology is built inside Pavtube DVDAid to help get out from under. It breaks the access to such encrypted DVDs like Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Carol, Mad Max: Fury Road etc.
Deliver Ultrafast DVD Copy Speed: Breaking through the traditional and unscientific way of decrypting original DVDs and reforming new DVDs, Pavtube DVDAid fully makes use of NVIDIA CUDA technology and AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) to largely accelerate DVD encoding speed from one format to another.
Steps to Copy Star Wars: The Force Awakens DVD to DVD/ISO Image Fast
Part One. 1:1 Backup DVD with Pavtube DVDAid
Step 1. Load Oscar “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” DVD
Insert Oscar Star Wars: The Force Awakens DVD disc into DVD drive. Lauch Pavtube DVDAid, click the “Load from Disc” button and import source DVD into this app.
Tips:
1. It would take a little longer if this is the first time you load one DVD into Pavtube DVDAid, but it would be faster when it is second or more time.
2. It allows you to batch convert your Star Wars DVD collections or other Oscar DVD movies to save your much time.
Step 2: Copy DVD content to PC hard drive
To make a quick and full copy of source DVD movie, you can click “copy the entire disc” button in the menu bar. In this way, all contents of the DVD disc will be saved to computer hard drive, including the disc menu, video streams, audio tracks, subtitles, commentary, extras, etc. Once the backup process finishes, you will get a DVD folder named as Video_TS.
Part Two. Create Free DVD ISO Image File with ImgBurn
Step 1. Load DVD Video_TS folder to ImgBurn
Free download and install ImgBurn, and then choose “Create image from files/folders” button. Browse to the DVD folder or just drag & drop Video_TS folders along with any other file into ImgBurn as source.
Step 2. Set in ImgBurn for DVD ISO creation
In “Option” tab on the right size of ImgBurn, set File System to “UDF” and UDF Revison to “2.50”. Switch to Labels tab and type the name of the film in the UDF box. Don’t forget to set output DVD ISO image destination on your computer. Make sure the free space is enough for generated DVD/ISO image.
Step 3. Start to create DVD/ISO image file
Hit on the Build icon and start to create free DVD/ISO image file from copied Video_TS folder. The creation process will complete in about 10-20 minutes.

The release of Spectre 007 makes 007 series fans excited again. Since there have been several years that no new 007 movie is on, some 007 series movie fans maybe want to collect Blu-ray/DVD Spectre 007. And to protect the disc, many of them would like to copy the Blu-ray/DVD Spectre 007 to their portable devices for watching, like ASUS ZenPad S 8.0. This Android tablet has 8 hours battery life and 2048 x 1536 display which satisfy you with a whole Spectre 007 movie playback.
Now, the key is how to copy Blu-ray/DVD Spectre 007 to ASUS ZenPad S 8.0. It is obviously that ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 can’t play Bu-ray/DVD Spectre 007 directly for the “Disc format” and video format incompatibility issue. In this case, you have to turn to a Blu-ray/DVD Ripper.
If you don’t have one, I strongly recommend you Pavtube BDMagic. This program can perfectly rip and backup and commercial Blu-ray/DVD disc even with region codes to a more popular video format, like H.265, MP4,M3U8, MOV, MKV, AVI, etc. And this is not the only reason I suggest it for Blu-ray/DVD Spectre 007 to ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 conversion. It is known that no matter Blu-ray or DVD takes up too large space but ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 perhaps doesn’t have the enough space to hold a several GB movie. This app can compress the Blu-ray/DVD Spectre 007 movie size by adjust video size and bitrate. Bitrate is the key point to influence the video size.
Money saving tip: Pavtube is holding Thanksgiving Coupon and you can get 30% off discount for BDMagic, saving up to $14.7. Like Pavtube Facebook to get special offer for weekend and festival promotion.
How to Copy Blu-ray/DVD Spectre 007 to ASUS ZenPad S 8.0?
Step 1: Add Blu-ray/DVD Spectre 007 movie
Download Blu-ray/DVD Ripper on PC (Mac version) and run it. When the interface pops up, click “File” to load your Blu-ray/DVD Spectre 007 movie to this program. It will automatically choose the main content to convert. If there are several language subtitles in your Blu-ray/DVD movies, you can select the language subtitle you want to show in your movie by “Subtitle”.
Step 2: Specify output format
Generally, “H.264 HD Video(*.mp4)” format from “HD Video” can be accepted by any Android tablet and phone, so you can choose it. Otherwise, you can select Android tablet format from “Android” profile.
Tip: If you want to compress video size, you can open “Settings” window. Here, you can change video size from 1080p to 720p or change video bitrate to a lower one. Just remember that: High bitrate= high video quality= big file size= long conversion time.
Step 3: Copy Blu-ray/DVD Spectre 007 to ASUS ZenPad S 8.0
After all settings done, hit on the “Convert” button and Blu-ray/DVD Spectre 007 to ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 with the best video quality conversion will get started. After the conversion completes, open output folder and you will find the converted movies.
Transfer media to Android tablet on computer
1. Connect the Android tablet to the computer by using the USB cable.
2. On a PC, if the AutoPlay dialog box appears, choose the option Open Folder/Device to View Files.
When the AutoPlay dialog box doesn’t appear, you can view files manually: Open the Computer window, and then open the tablet’s icon, found at the bottom of that window. Open the Storage icon to view files.
The tablet’s folder window that you see looks like any other folder in Windows. The difference is that the files and folders in that window are on your Android tablet, not on the computer.
3. Open the source and destination folder windows.
Open the folder that contains the files you want to copy. The folder can be found on the computer or on the tablet. Then open the folder on the computer or tablet where you want the file copied. Have both folder windows, computer and phone, visible on the screen.
4. Drag the file icon(s) from one folder to another to copy.
Dragging the file copies it, either from tablet to computer or from computer to tablet. If you want to be specific, drag the file to the tablet’s download folder or to the root folder. On the PC, drag icons from the phone’s storage to the My Documents, My Pictures, or My Videos folder, as appropriate. You can also drag directly to the desktop and decide later where to store the file.
The same file dragging technique can be used for transferring files from a Macintosh. You need to drag the icon(s) to the Android File Transfer window, which works just like any folder window in the Finder.
5. Close the folder windows and disconnect the USB cable when you’re done.
Though this manual technique works, the best way to transfer media to the tablet is to use a media program, such as Windows Media Player. You can also synchronize pictures and videos in the same way, by using a media program on the computer.
When your Android tablet has a MicroSD card installed, Windows displays two AutoPlay dialog boxes. Each dialog box represents a different storage source — internal storage as well as the MicroSD card.:

However, only if you want to separate your DVD playback from DVD drive/player, you need to rip DVD to digital video format. And the work is based onDVD Ripper
However, there are plenty of great utilities designed to rip DVD discs and and give you popular video that are playable on any device you choose, whenever you choose to watch them. Too many choices makes no choice. Many people just get a headache when they need to select only one in hundreds. Here are three of the best 2016, based on thousands consumers’ nominations.
Key features: Handbrake is our favorite video encoder for a reason: it’s simple, easy to use, easy to install, and offers a wealth of tweaking options to get the best possible file as a result. If you’re daunted by them, you don’t even have to use them—the app will compensate for you and pick some settings it thinks you’ll like based on your destination device. So many of you like Handbrake that many of you use it in conjunction with another app (like VLC, which makes ripping easy)—you’ll let another app do the rip and crack the DRM on your discs, and then process the file through Handbrake for encoding.
Pros: The app is fast, can make the most of multi-core processors to speed up the process, and is completely open source. Best of all, it’s completely free.
Cons: Only outputs MP4, MKV formats. Only can rip unencrypted DVD. Handbrake isn't updated often. Its presets are often out of date.
Editor’s note: Since it is free, I think I will choose it first if I need a DVD Ripper. After all, MP4 is enough for nearly all devices and media players.
Key features: Pavtube ByteCopy is your best DVD copying and backing up tool which can rip and backup DVD in any copy protection like Sony, Disney and region codes. It can convert DVD to any other formats like H.265, M3U8, MP4, MOV , M4V, AVI, WMV, MPG, MKV, etc or MP4/MOV with multi-track audios for playback on iOS/Android/Windows Tablets/Phones, HD Media Players (WDTV), editing software (Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere, etc.), and more.
And other than that, Pavtube ByteCopy is also able to encode DVDs to MKV container format with preserving chapter markers, multiple audio tracks and subtitles and make it possible for you to easily select your needed tracks, subtitles when watching DVD movies with your media players. creating 3D video is supported by ByteCopy. What’s more, it also can rip and copy Blu-ray.
Pros: A top Multi-track Blu-ray/DVD Converter to all of you with excellent ability to pick up multi-track for playing BD/DVD movies on Media Players and portable device. It also can extract subtitle/audio from Blu-ray/DVD.
Cons: It is a paid one. If you want to use its free trial version, you have to bear the watermark in the middle of the video.
Editor’s note: If I need a more powerful DVD Ripper, Pavtube ByteCopy is no doubt the best choice. But if I only need to rip DVD to MP4 and my DVD has no encryption, I will definitely select Handbrake.
Key features: We’ve praised MakeMKV before for its ability to quickly and easily rip DVDs to high quality MKV files with a single click. The app has been in beta for a long time (years, in fact), which is just as well, since the developers promise to start charging for Blu-ray ripping once the app leaves beta. The app’s strong suits are that it’s fast, super easy, and cross-platform.
Pros: The app preserves all of the source disc’s information, including tracks, chapters, HD audio, menus, and so on. The app is completely free.
Cons: Only MKV output.
Editor’s note: I found little software will keep multiple audio and subtitle tracks when ripping BD/DVD discs. But MakeMKV and Pavtube ByteCopy must be in the list.
At the end of the day, DVD rippers are applications that set your movies from discs and allow you to have digital copies of the content that you’ve paid for. And please keep in mind, only personal usage of the DVD rips is legal.
