I just bought XMen First-Class on Blueray. It contains a Digital Copy which can be used according to the box both on Windows Media devices and Android devices. I have transfered the official digital copy to my Galaxy tab with no problem, but the file won't play.
What can be wrong? Fox claims that copy can be view on Android are Fox lying to me?
What format is the digital copy in?

if you downloaded the digital copy to your pc first and then transferred it to your tab it will not work, because you would have used the 1 license when downloading to the PC. There should have been instructions on how to transfer the digital copy directly to your android tab via pocket blu app or something similar

Its in Mp4 format. I tried with the player that came with the tablet and tried to two different Mp4 players which I downloaded from Android Marked and it still won't play.
And I followed the instructions on howto transfer it directly from the DVD to the Android device.

See previous post, you activated it on your PC then tried copying it to your SGT. So it is activated and thats that. Legally you have to buy another copy of the movie

the only way to transfer the digital copy which came on a dvd with the blueray was to place the dvd into the dvd-drive on my pc.
Then the following dialog box appeared.
"Would like to view the movie on your mobile device or pc?".
I selected mobile device.
"Is it an Android or Windows Mobile device?". I selected Android.
It then asked me to to enter the code which was on a label in the back of the blueray cover" which I did.
Then the program on the dvd detected detected my Galaxy tab 10.1 as it was connected to the pc and transfered the movie to tab.
I followed the instructions to the point. Then there must be a serious bug in Fox's bluerays digital copy software???

I believe the reason why you could'nt get it to work is because you are rooted? I just
attempted to get my digital copy of RIo movie onto my tab. After going through the steps a pop up screen came up.... See attachment below.
only other way to get a copy onto your tab is to use a program to burn it then tranfer.

Ha ha -- and then they blame people for using torrents. They make it so difficult to even watch a movie they have sold you!
BTW, have they stated on the box that you can't watch the movie on a rooted device?
You have to download foxdigitalcopy app from market. Then it will work.

This doesn't work. When you are trying to download the digital copy per directions on how to transfer it from Pocket blu app it will still have the can't download movie because you are rooted. Fox digital copy only works when you have the movie already in your tablet then once located then it will grant it privileges. At least that's what I think it does.

It turned out that the whole Fox Digital Copy software on DVD that the feature which should allow you to transfer directly to Android phone/tablet doesn't work, according to Fox.
I got this from FOX and it works and I can play the film on the tablet
Hello Sir, you cannot do a direct transfer to a tablet. If you are using a non-Apple device, you must first transfer the digital copy with the code into Windows Media Player and sync it to your tablet so Windows Media Player can convert it properly for your device. The code is only for use in Windows Media Player. You do not need another code to sync it to your tablet or device when synced properly.
Please follow the appropriate instructions:
For Windows
1. Place the disc in your optical drive
2. Close any windows that automatically opens
3. Open My Computer/Computer
4. Explore the digital copy disc (view the files on the disc)
5. Open the DVDROM folder
6. Open the Media folder
7. Copy the movie file which contains PC in the file name to a location where you keep your movies on your computer (Do not put it on an external drive)
8. After the file has been transferred to your computer, double click on the movie file that is now on your computer
9. Windows Media Player should launch and request the serial number (make sure you have a valid working internet connection to verify the code)
10. After you have received a license, it will say click play to start the movie.
For iTunes
1. Launch your iTunes first (make sure there is no disc in the drive)
2. Insert the disc into your PC or Laptop
3. Close the auto play (pop up) window when it opens (will not be using it for transfer)
4. Double click on the movie title (Under DEVICES in the ITunes Window on the left hand side)
5. Enter the serial number (numbers only no dashes)
You should be prompted to enter your iTunes Store User Name and Password, please do not remove the disc until the transfer has completed.
Please ensure that your portable device is compatible with digital copy and Windows Media Player before attempting transfer (DOES NOT APPLY IF USING iTunes). For a list of devices other than iPods and iPhones that are compatible with digital copy please visit playsforsure.com. If your device is not listed here it is not compatible and the copy will not transfer. Devices that are listed may still require additional software from the manufacturer before the digital copy will transfer or play. Please research any device you wish to transfer digital copy to for compatibility issues.
Sony PSP and Microsoft Zune are not compatible with digital copy; all concerns with these two devices must be directed to the respective manufacturer.
For A Portable Device Transfer:
You must first transfer the digital copy into Windows Media Player or iTunes and then sync the movie to your device through Windows Media Player or ITunes so the program can convert the movie for correct playback on your device. Most players support MPEG4 (MP4), AVI or Real Player, some devices also support WMV, but not protected WMV (DRM). If your device supports DRM WMA, this is not the same and digital copy will not transfer. You may also require additional software from the manufacturer to convert the file to one the player supports. Please contact the manufacturer of your device to verify if it supports this file format, if it does not, your device is incompatible for transfer.
Many devices which cannot transfer digital copy through Windows Media Player can transfer files through the pocketblu app or media go app. Please consult with the manufacturer of your device to see if this is an option for your Digital Copy transfers as well.
You may read more information on this type of transfer here: http://www.pocketblu.com/DigitalCopy.aspx <http://www.pocketblu.com/DigitalCopy.aspx>
You may read more information about media go transfers here:http://mediago.sony.com/enu/introduction/ <http://mediago.sony.com/enu/introduction/>
For Windows Media Center Device Transfer:
Please ensure that your portable device supports protected (DRM) WMV formats before attempting transfer (DOES NOT APPLY IF USING iTunes).
1. Please verify that your device supports protected (DRM) WMV video before attempting transfer.
2. Transfer digital copy to Windows Media Player
3. Connect portable device after transfer has completed
4. Open Windows Media Player
5. "Click" on the "SYNC" button/tab
6. Click on Fox Digital Copy (under playlist)
7. Select the movie title and drag the digital copy to the sync list
8. Click start sync (if it does not do so automatically)
If you receive an error message that state your do not have enough rights or are missing codec files please contact your device manufacturer for assistance. Otherwise you should receive confirmation that the file is being converted, please do not interrupt the process as it may take several minutes
The digital copy should now be viewable on your portable device.
For Apple Device Transfer:
The process is simple, just go into your ITunes movie folder once you have transferred the digital copy into iTunes, locate the movie, connect your device (which should show up on the left hand side in ITunes) and just drag the movie from your ITunes movie folder onto your device. The movie will transfer and be ready to play. This is for Apple devices only (i.e. iPod, iPad, iPhone, etc.). All other brands of devices would transfer through Windows Media Player so make sure you transfer the digital copy into Windows Media Player and do not transfer the digital copy into iTunes if this is the case.
You can only transfer the digital copy to iTunes OR Windows Media Player but not both because the code is good only once and both programs require the code for the transfer.
Thank You,
FOX Digital Copy Support
Holly Captain Sparrow and the Seven Seas!!!! This is ridiculous!!!
The average person that doesn't know much about tech and just wants to watch a movie is screwed. Sorry dad, no movie for you

X Men: First Class digital copy serial code
Hello I noticed that you transferred the X Men: First Class disc to your portable device, I was wondering if you still had the serial code because mine seems to have gone missing? Please, it would be a big help, thanks.

Hi all
Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer music downloaded from Napster to the xda? I have tried copying but I just get an error.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Try synching your xda, then right click on the file or files you wish to copy, click on explore in activesync, find the place you want to copy to, then right click and paste.
I can get the wma across, but it wont play as it needs a licence! I have got round this by burning to CD and then copying back to PC then to XDA.
My question really was why can you not transfer directly from windows media player? The Napster site, and Windows, gives a list of devices that are compatible, mainly mp3 players. Do you need special drivers and if so do they exist for the XDA?
Thanks
sync your xda then from within media player choose copy to cd or device. Select your xda from the drop down list on the right and the tracks you want to copy from the list on the left and then choose copy. This should copy the tracks and the licence (as long as you have bought the track cos the licence you have if you don't buy the track does not allow copying to a mobile device)
I have tried this but I get an error when copying. I have seen that some mp3 players need a special driver. Is that the case for the XDA?
(I can transfer other music that I have copied from CD so I know that the process does work for normal music).
Thanks
I have a mac running snow leopard. I installed samsung kies to transfer music. the music will transfer but when I launch Google Music, it won't recognize the music. I can even go to the directory of where the music is located and play a song using google music. Plan B. Since that didn't work, I installed Android File Transfer for Mac. Doesn't work. Plan C. I used cheetah sync to transfer the files. The files transferred to the Music folder on the tab. Google music still doesn't recognize. Plan D. I shuffled around 1 song to different locations on the tab aka root folder, media folder, music folder, everywhere! Still doesn't recognize that one song. Plan E. I download a mp3 download app. I download a song and google music recognizes it. I look through the directories to see where the app downloaded the song. Couldn't find the song. Checked every single folder. What else is there to do??
I don't own a Mac, so I cannot help you on your specific Mac issues.
BUT, do you have, by chance, a Windows PC available? If yes, everything is transparent. You even don't need Kies - just connect the GT via USB and copy the music files using Windows Explorer.
If you have a home network with shared folders, you can access and copy the music files using FileManagerHD app (free) in the tablet.
I hope it helps you.

The one caveat to this is that some download services mark the files as "hidden", so if you don't have Show Hidden Files and Folders checked in the folder's view settings, you won't see them at all. A maddening problem I had with my Sansa several years ago.
Think google music needs propper id3Tags to find tracks
This is a guide on how to put movies into your PC and having it to stream over to your device.
WHY ?
Of course we can definitely place movies into our device local SDCard and play through it but when you have a huge collection of movies, you would rather want to stream movies across than having to copy each movie and play it with under the restriction of your SDCard capacity.
WHAT DO I NEED ?
1) Software: TVMOBILI (http://www.tvmobili.com)
2) Wireless Network in which both your PC and HTC EVO 3D are connected to
3) Optional Software: HANDBRAKE (http://handbrake.fr)
HOW TO DO IT ?
A. SETUP YOUR PC
===============
1) Download and install TVMOBILI from the following website (http://www.tvmobili.com). It supports Windows, Mac and Linux as well. This software will be your streaming server (DLNA Compliant). Alternatively you can also use Windows Media Player as an DLNA server but I wont be covering on how to setup on that.
2) Once TVMobili had been installed, launch it by clicking on the TVMobili icon. It will launch TVMobili on your standard web browser
3) Add your movies into the server by clicking on the CONTENT icon and followed by ADD MORE CONTENT
4) Follow the steps provided and browse to the folders in which you had stored all your video files
*Refer screenshot 1*
B. STREAM TO YOUR DEVICE
=======================
1) Launch GALLERY from your HTC EVO 3D
2) You would see a list of local hosted content but we are interested in what's being hosted on the PC instead. Click on the WORD "Albums" on top and you will get a dropdown list of content source (Albums, Facebook, Flickr, Media Servers, Picasa Web Albums)
3) Select Media Servers and it will search for the list of DLNA servers in your network (Make sure you're connected to the WIFI network before doing so or it may not find the TVMobili server)
4) Your TVMobili server will be shown as TVMOBILI: where is the name of your PC. Click on it
5) Click on My Content and browse to the files you want to watch and it will stream over to your device
STREAMING 3D
============
You may be able to get your hands on 3D movies but using the above method may land you with a movie being played side by side. The only solution that I know of now is to re-encode the movie with additional settings by using HandBrake. The additional settings ":frame-packing=3" needs to be placed under the Advanced tab of HandBrake.

Teach you how to stream videos from pc to mobile device
Recently, I have found a solution about how to stream videos from pc to mobile device. I think this is a so interesting technology that I can freely enjoy movies in anywhere of my house by my iPhone or iPad. Now I will share it with you and show you how to set up it in detail. Hope this can help you and enrich your home entertainment.
Take Android Phone as an example.
1. Share your movie folder
Take Folder ‘HD Movie’ as an example: right-click -> ’Properties’ -> ‘Sharing Tab’
2. Connect VidOn Player to Your PC
Download VidOn Player to your mobile device.
Make sure your PC and Mobile device are in the same LAN
Run App-> Click to open ‘Network Share’-> Click ‘+’ icon-> Choose ‘Windows Share/Samba’.
Then enter your IP address, PC’s user name & Password –> Click ‘√’
If your computer does not require user name & Password to login, just click ‘√’ and done.
3. Enjoy HD Movies
Select the Server which you just added to browse. Then the files will be seen. Click the file, you can see all HD movies of it.
To Play ‘Thor’, just select the filename.
Now, enjoy HD movie on your mobile device.
The method is very easy. Can you get it?
Hi,
I've been reading many articles all over the net and watching YouTube videos and they all state when you attach your USB chord to your Samsung Galaxy Tablet 2 that a window should pop up where you can choose the Media Transfer Protocol.
That does *not* happen when I attach the USB chord. I never get a choice, I see for a second that it connects to camera - thus I can't see the .mp4 movie files created on this tablet in DCIM>Camera but I can see the .jpgs,
If I visit the My Files folder on the tablet (no the PC) I can see the .mp4 files (which in the manual says they are supposed to be in the DCIM>Camera folder, not the MyFiles folder.
I don't see under the folder My Files how I could drag each .mp4 file from the tablet to a PC Windows 7.
I would greatly appreciate insight re: how to trasnfer the .mp4 files on this tablet to the PC?
Alternatively? How can lengthen the time that Bluetooth times out? It prompts me for an access code which I never set so I've tried "0000", "1234" and *#232337#
I found this at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXoDx-gbUPo
but none of those numbers let me access the Bluetooth time adjustment area.
Could someone please share an access code # which does work?
Thank you!
