Hello all just recently joined the prime family and I am trying to get movies onto the tab. I successfully got two onto it, but I am having trouble getting the didgital copy edition ones on. Rather I should say I can't get them to work period. Can anyone recomened me a program that removes the drm and can convert the movies into an appropriate file. I am unrooted and I have vista as my os on my computer 32 bit I think any help would be much appreciated thanks.

If your able to get them on the prime but unable to play the format, try downloading an app called " online player". It can play almost any format.
Go to the play store on your tablet and download MX VIDEO PLAYER. this will play just about any video format.
Thanks for the input and i have tried mx player, bb player, dice and many others. I am finding that I am having trouble with files that are DRM protected. I have 2 movies on my prime that i can view no problem, but I have tried to put 2 other movies on that came with blue ray as a digital copy that i cannont play. I am looking for a video converter or perhaps a program that can remove the DRM on the file so that they can be played back on the prime.
thanks.
oh and a side note, i can not seem to reply or post anything on xda from my prime, all i can do is read. Am i stupid and just not using it right or does it not yet have complete functionality with ICS? any thoughts?

I would recommend Dice Player, a nice simplistic UI and plays practically any media files along with subtitles and such.
As for the XDA problem are you using the browser? If so are you even logged in? lol
I have been using DVD Catalyst. The software is very inexpensive and the developer is extremely responsive. He is a "supporting vendor" at the Transformer Forums. There is a trial period for the software if you want to try it out. He was right there to help when one of the 15 videos I was converting using the software just wouldn't work. He got right back to me and helped me with necessary adjustments. Not sure about Vista but you could ask him.
fyi, here's a link to the forum section for further info

Actually i am using the app from the STORE, and i am logged in as well i can add, reply and post from my evo, but when im on the prime i cant see any way to do so.
I can post, reply etc. from my Prime, the menu icon near the bottom of the screen supports that functionality...I am using the paid version though, I'm not sure about the free one. Support the devs!!! It is certainly worth the small cost to have access to all the knowledge found at XDA forums!

Yup, I've been using DVD Catalyst for a while and it's never met a video file or DVD it hasn't converted. There are presets for all kind of devices and it's easy to use. I'll second the fact that the dev is very quick to reply. Every e-mail I've sent asking a question has been met with a responce in a couple of hours. I'm not sure about digital copies, I've never tried to convert on of those yet.

Digital Copies (the ones you get with some DVDs and Blurays) are DRM protected. They use an activation system that is mostly compatible with Apple iDevices and Windows Mobile devices, but not with Android devices.
There are some newer formats, such as UltraViolet and PocketBlu, that are "Android" compatible, but they are a bit of a hit & miss.
There are some tools that use your computer to play and record the files in order to "convert" them (the only way), however, you will achieve better results by converting the actual BR and DVD discs directly.

Are these "digital copy editions" iTunes videos?
I ran into the same problem. I buy a lot of DVDs and when they come with a "Digital Edition" it is always an iTunes video which has some sort of copy protection that prevents non-Apple devices from playing them most of the time.
I used an program called Noteburner M4v Converter that sells for $40. It strips the DRM out of the iTunes movies and allows you to play them on other devices.
Here is a link to the site:
http://noteburner.com/noteburner-m4v-converter.html
It takes a while to convert the movies but the quality is just as good as the unconverted movies and you can convert them to several formats. I kept the videos in M4v format since Android has no problem reading this format and it is easier to convert from one format to the same format if all you are interested in doing is getting rid of the DRM so you can play you legally purchased movies on your Android device.
Ya I can rip regular DVDs onto my prime but the digital copies I find have the drm on them and won't let me add it to my prime guess I need to buy a blue ray reader for my computer

I have this same problem. seems to be the drm incoding. I looked at DVD catalyst site, and it says that it can't convert drm encrypted files. Any one have another program that will?

Hey, I have searched and searched and found nothing referring much to the avatar tv out. I have tv out and I know it is posted that we cannot run avatar through the tv out. my question is can anyone make it possible to run avatar with tv out? I know nothing about programming and I don't know if the app that connects to the movie file can simply be edited to allow for tv out access. If it can be done can someone please tell me how? I apologize in advance if this topic has already been discussed but I have not seen it anywhere. Thanks for your help.
Nope its DRM protected. The only way to do it is buy the DVD and rip a non DRM copy to your computer the put it on your phone.

That's gonna be really interesting to find out - technically, it SHOULD, since the video never has to enter the analog domain and can remain copy protected throughout. But then again, you never know...
I believe it uses HDCP so no you won't get much flexibility out of it. It's amazing how much effort they will go through to prevent you from watching your movie on your devices - especially when you consider that it takes 5 minutes to find a 20GB Avatar torrent, throw it to handbrake, and get a higher quality rip that you CAN stream wherever you want.
Just go around their BS until they get the message and just cut it out.

micro to hdmi cord
I have already tried with the micro cord to hdmi as well as the cord for the headjack. both with no success it is pointless to try.
There is no fix , as fixing it would require breaking the copyright protection.
Avatar on the phone is DRM'd so therefore it will not play out to your TV.
The best option, is to buy the DVD/Blu-Ray, and make a backup of it in one of the formats that the vibrant can play.

It's been a while since I reasearched this and now that I upgraded to a decent phone I thought I'd check in here,. is there a decent TV app out yet? I mean to watch local TV digital stations or some variation there of? thanks
Not that I am aware of..bitbop is the only thing I know of. Best bet to just do a search online for a specific livestream..there are lots of flash sites out there.
Slingbox of course. Kinda pricey getting everything setup but most definitely worth it.
Buy a slingbox great hd easy install. i love it! The app is $30 buutt you can find it for a "cheaper price"

OK..... As some of you know I own a deli/restaurant. We were broken into recently (no I don't have a security system and yes I'm a dope), luckily they only got us for $200-$300. I understand all of the obvious options we have for a system and I will be putting those in place asap.
Here's the thing.... there was no sign of forced entry. I have business partners (wasn't them) and 2 employees with keys (really don't think it was them) but possibly someone that knows any of the above got their key. None of that matters (my tiny brain will investigate that)....
Is there a security system or cams that could be linked to any of my android phones or tablets? If anyone knows of a system anything close to what I'm talking about, that would be really cool.
I'll be meeting with Time Warner and my wife just mentioned adt about a system but..... if I could any how have cams going to my tablets or phones that would be even more helpful, if it was an inside job.... and I hardly EVER think that way but there was no sign of forced entry. Also it happened the day of the Hurricane so the cops said anything outside with finger prints wouldn't show a thing.
Just saw something similar on the Nook Color forum and was wondering why I didn't ask this question to you guys the day it happened.
Money is somewhat of an option (as it is to most people) but having something feeding to my android devices would be priceless.
If this is an obvious answer please let this thread sink but if there is a way to have security running to my phones or tablets please speak up.
Thanks,
Chef

any suggestions for those that want the wireless route of camera? where I want to mount mine I wont have any existing cabeling for video and even getting power to it is gonna be tricky.
Really want remote viewing control on phone, recording dvr either onsite or in the cloud. most seem to be hardline cameras still except for the IP cameras which dont work with most typical dvr's ive seen at first glance. I know they make transmitters to convert the wired camera to wireless but thats adds a ton of clutter too as ones ive seen are bulky.

I hate geovision dvr cards, but they have an android app finally. Most systems can be viewed from a web browser, but you'll want to make sure that there is an app for them as it makes viewing the video remotely much easier.
If you don't want to worry about finding an app for a specific brand go with wireless cameras. Don't get the kind that need a base unit. Get some that can be linked to a wireless router. You can then setup an existing computer to record the video or get a new computer dedicated for just this. Since each camera uses its own up address you can use one of the many ip camera apps in the market.
If you need help with anything send me a pm. I do camera installs and repair as a side job.

Let me talk to my business partners and wife tonight or tomorrow morning and I'll shoot you a pm after I talk to them. This seems to be a fairly cheap option w/out monthly fees or a base. I also have a sneaky suspicion that maybe someone is going in after we close and eating or feeding their friends and family like kings.
I work 7 days a week and close the business quite a few of the days. Sometimes I get a gut feeling that things weren't the wah they were when I left the night before. Soooo..... If I could be watching my business at night while yucking it up on xda, that's a win/win.

I don't have any information for you, but just want to show my sympathy toward your situation. It would be terrible if someone you trusted with the keys was doing it or even giving the key to their friends to do it. I am a Union Committeeman at the shop I work at and I just had to sit in with a maintenance man of ours while he got fired for stealing from the company. He was using his key to come in after hours and stealing copper wire and brass fittings and taking them to the scrap yard for money. The Plant manager was suspicious that it was an inside job and took pictures of the cars and people he suspected and took them down to the local scrap yard. They identified the guy and his car and even gave him a copy of the invoice he signed himself(dumbass). He lost a decent job over $76. There was nothing the Union could do to fight it because he was basically caught red handed. The Plant Manager gave him the option to either resign his position on the spot, or he could try to fight it and he would get the cops involved. He admitted doing it and resigned. Anyway, I hope you can catch whoever is doing it. I hope it's not the people you have trusted with keys, but it just sounds strange to me that there are no signs of forced entry. It may cost you now to install a camera system, but will save you $ in the long run. Good Luck bro.

Thanks! I tried doing a little detective work myself but lead me nowhere. They got me for the $100 bucks I leave in the till everynight to start the next day with and got my change box (roughly $200) where I keep all my rolled quarters, dimes etc to make change for the register ( this is where my detective work came in) . I went to a local change for dollars machine vendor but so many people use those daily (including myself when our home change cup gets full) that it would be impossible. I went to local stores and told them to keep an eye on anyone paying with rolled change. That's about the extent of my detective abilities. If I knew any crack dealers they would be the first ones I would ask if anyone's has been buying crack with rolled quarters (haha) .
As for food possibly missing at night is weighing heavy on my mind due to the whole trust issue when you hand a key to your business to someone you trust. I really don't think its anyone with the keys but maybe someone they know grabbing the key while they're sleeping or whatever.
I'll get the bastard whoever it is.

First of all, apologies for what will inevitably be seen as the same questions that have been asked previously. I have searched the forum but due to the multiude of responses and threads I thought it be easier create this.
So I am completely new to the Tablet scene, never owned one before.
Picked one of these beauties up yesterday, and have played around with it for an hour before going to bed.
I have noticed one dead pixel on the edge of the screen which is only visible on a black background. I know there are pixel fix type apps, has anyone ever used these with success?
Then I also noticed the weird flickering of the screen in the bottom right hand corner which a number of people have reported.
In your opinion would you return the device for a new one?
Secondly, could anybody tell me how I can stream video files over a wifi network from one android device to another quickly and easily?
And thirdly, is there a consensus as to what the best case is for the prime? Ive checked the accessories page but there is so much and with so many different opinions. Im wondering if we have collectively agreed on the best yet as a forum? Are there any good cases that hold the dock and the tablet when connected?
And lastly, tell me some cool things I can do with this monster straight out of the box or at least with minimal tampering. I have already decided I will NOT be going down the root road as im not techy enough, and it will void my shiznit!
Thanks in advance!
Try this for the dead pixel, tough I don't think it will achieve anything. It's better to leave it working overnight. Make sure that your screen does not turn off if you don't touch it at regular intervals.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.chris.blackspotdetect&hl=es
I have this case and I like it. I have had roocase before and they have really good customer service. I didn't want one that covered the face of the tablet.
For the dead pixel and the flickering, I'd return it for a replacement before I grew too attached. For the $$ that you spent, you deserve a *pristine* unit. Particularly if you bought yours from a retail store, take it back.
I'd agree in your approach in avoiding the rooting/unlocking. At least wait until you've come to understand and be troubled by the limitations born from it not being rooted. I've had mine for months and I still haven't seen a pressing need to hack it (unlike my Nook Color that has hacked while it still had that "new tablet smell").
On the question of cool things to do: Two pieces of software that are incredibly cool are the OverSkreen Browser and Stick It! media player. Both are floating-window apps that allow you to run in resizable windows that can float over other apps. Very cool stuff that you can show to iPad users.
Thanks for the responses all. My main query is now how to stream the media from my htc one x to my transformer. Any advice would be greatly received!

Might not be the solution you're looking for, but why not simply create a DropBox account, and put a linked folder on each device?
Now, you can simply drag the video file to the Dropbox folder, and it'll be sent to the other device.
Now you can watch the video on the second device, and not have to worry about cacheing, wifi delays, etc.
MX Player seems to be streaming Wifi videos pretty well for me. I'm new to it. Before that, I shared my media via Windows Media Sharing and it was picked up with UPNP, available in the store. My Net also does the same kind of thing as long as your media has been shared via Windows Media Sharing or another PnP protocol.

I had a trial with the S4 but returned it due to my eyes hating the display compared to my old Samsung Infuse super clear, bright display. I had disabled every bit of bloatware and successfully installed Adobe flash player, and could play flash videos on sites through certain browsers (Boat and Dolphin). I must be able to watch flash American Sign Language videos so I would like to know of others experiences with the HTC One worked well, or not, for flash videos after installing flash player as I had on the S4.

Yes, that is what the S4 stock browser supposedly did also but in reality it did not. That's why I'm wanting to know of users real life experiences playing various videos on different web pages before I buy the ONE. The display of the ONE is so far superior to the S4!

The most important videos need my login info. On the following page there is a video on the top right side and also the lower right side, http://www.lifeprint.com/that that would be a good start.

Unfortunately, most of the American Sign Language sites, especially those with thousands of word sign videos. ASL is completely visual, no voice. An ASL site programmer I know said it's been an absolute nightmare since the new phones and tablets have been phasing out flash and there are so many different platforms dealing with it differently.

On the first site, I couldn't get the upper-right video to play. It showed up as a flash movie, but the play button didn't work. The video in the lower-right seemed to work, though.
Couldn't test the second site, as it says a login is required to search.
Thanks for trying...

I know Lifeprint.com is trying, but they and many of the other sites have such a massive amount of video files from decades of individual vocabulary word signs, etc. It is a major job that has not gone smoothly. Think of changing format of each word in an unabridged dictionary (visual only). On each and every ASL site I use there are people writing in daily about their devices not able to play the videos... Mac, Windows, IOS, Android, and all of the individual variables from before and after the flash/HTML5 upheaval. Most of these people are not particularly cyber-tech savvy and just need to be able to watch the videos to learn ASL. I have severe hearing loss and can not use hearing aids so I have been trying to learn sign for several years. In the beginning the issues were only my own brain not being on board to learn ASL easily,.... now I am beyond frustrated with the videos and sites I depend on almost every day not working as they should.
My Infuse is in the dark ages (Froyo) with flash, but I can play most of the videos and use the ASL sites. When I had the trial with the S4, I could watch some of the videos and sites after installing flash player and a specific version of Dolphin and Boat browsers. They had many quirks though.... a video would show up but be unresponsive to touch, or the video show would play and act fine but not be able to be zoomed so it would be too tiny to see clearly. Before I had installed Flash Player none of the sites worked at all. My friend has an Iphone and Ipad and is often unable to use the ASL sites and videos. Some sites I have given up with but some I must be able to use.
Most youtube videos will play on the new phones. It's the non-youtube videos that I need to be able to watch and interact with.
AT&T had my returned S4 sitting lost somewhere in their warehouse until I had a chat and they found it. Now I am waiting for them to process and say I am able to update. I also keep hoping that HTC quality control will be improve and the Ones will come through with fewer issues. My old Infuse seems to be working better since they reactivated it with a new sim so maybe I will just wait a bit longer rather than adding another possible $36 return fee.
I use Maxthon browser to play flash websites. You can set it up to play flash always when you go to settings. It's free on play store.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, Minicoop. I had tried Maxthon browser a few times on my Infuse, my Galaxy Tab 8.9, and the S4 trial. It did not handle the specific videos I need to play well at all. I have really seen that since html5 has become the norm, all browsers that supposedly play flash websites do not play the videos I need to watch without issues or at all.
Just a confirmation about not using tools to root.

I graduated for Comp Sci&Tech & I've been open source w/ android for a year. I spent 6 months studying the development of android and how it functions I have successfully rooted my h1m7 s-off, superclocked, & nodded the hell out of it I've done the sane with Samsung s gs4 and converted my HP touchpad to Android I wouldn't spend 1penny for an iPhone! Back to the point experimenting with the touchpad I have bricked 2 times and it can be very frustrating ! First time took about 12hrs to fix and when bricked it may be permanently destroyed. So take heed when the developers tell u to know what your doing before flashing. The ones that don't listen brick and then plead,& demand, help like these guys are have nothing better to do. My apologies if this sounds harsh but this could save our $1000 smartphone! I am no professional I'm just in accord with Skizzy.

Silly Goose, we are not talking about flashing a phone. We are talking about getting a phone to play flash media which few newer phones support.
