Ripping my DVDs to the Kindle Fire HD - Page 2

Skydog · 11-12-2012, 07:43 PM

DVD Catalyst

Absolutely outstanding. Many presets for various devices, including the Fire, Nexus 7, Apple devices and other 7 and 10-inch tablets. Excellent UI and is a one-click process for any DVDs (hint). The developer offers excellent support -- it's worth every cent. Free trial available.

So easy a caveman can do it. Really.

I cant seem to get any to work... tried all suggested so far. DVDSmith shows the movies on the fire as still pics frame by frame. Handbreak wont even rip the DVD into my laptop. My antiviris blocked the Magic. DVD Catalyst cant find the Freebie. IDEAS??? Non-Techy lost in cyberspace!

Hi Katie,

Can you please provide some additional information on "cant find the freebie". Are you experiencing complications with the trial version download?

Yesterday one of my hosting companies was experiencing some complications, which could be the reason for the complication you experienced.

If you are still experiencing download issues today, please let me know by either reply here, private message here, or send me an email ad dvdcatalyst at gmail dot com.

Skydog said there was a Free Trail all I see is the paid one. As Dumb as I am I have to Try Before I Buy LOL

DVDCatalyst · 11-13-2012, 12:15 PM

Ah ok

I'll pm you a link to the trial version.

Villordsutch · 11-13-2012, 12:15 PM

Will give - DVD Catalyst a free trial shortly.

Managed to rip Ghostbuster in just under an hour at 640*480. Can't try it on Kindle Fire HD yet, however I know a rough speed and size (just over a gig).

Villordsutch · 11-13-2012, 12:16 PM

DVDCatalyst - Could I ask if you could attach me on that PM please?

The file size sounds about right. When I use Handbrake to create widescreen conversions of that resolution (853 x 480) I routinely get files around 1 GB to 1.5 GB.

Thank you for the Link DVD Catalyst and YAY! jswinden I may have done something right

New for me

Completely agree Alex. Against Piracy, just looking to how easy it is to convert my own DVDs to run on the Kindle Fire HD.

If we've stepped over a safety mark for the forum please remove this thread.

Got the PM! WAS EASY to do even for a Non-Techy like me!! I would Highly Recomed this for Anyone!

Just wanted to chime in that I agree with Skydog. I've been using Cat for years (since version 2, I think) and have always gotten great support, even when it was just a matter of asking about optimizing settings and choosing the best presets. Well worth the price for that alone.

Hey, nice to see you here, Mitch!
Now if Amazon would only give you SDK access so your movie player app could go true fullscreen on the Fire.....
