So I bought a movie from amazon. I want to transfer the movie to my droid dna however i cant because it claims its protected. Is there anyway to get the file onto my DNA so I can watch it on the go?

Can you download it on a pc then transfer it over? I suggest using an otg cable and a thumb drive or mini sdcard reader.

Yeah I did download it to my pc, and it wont let me copy it to my droid using my cable because it says the file is protected I assume that means the drm is preventing it. I might try stripping the drm and converting the file to a different file type that android can read since we cant read .wmv files which is what it downloads as.

Or since you already legally bought it, just download it through a torrent. That is the real use for torrents don'tcha know
I don't use torrents I'm not a pirate. If you get caught it's not worth the trouble with your isp, and it's not worth going to court.

I literally lol'd. You bought it, you own it, therefore if you torrent it and get "caught" you can prove that you were either A. Backing it up and/or B. Converting it to a compatible format - which in both cases is not pirating. Torrenting has legitimate uses too bro.

Enlighten us please. What software(s) did you use?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Use an alternate android media player, such as MX Player. It plays a ton of different file formats that the default android player won't.
I use MX Player to play tons of files natively without converting, like hi10p 1080p Anime with dual audio and soft subs. You can also download a custom ffmpeg plugin to support DTS audio, which i think is the only major thing it's missing by default.
This is much more convenient than converting every movie you want to put on your phone. The DNA is more than powerful enough to play all the common formats.

I think its the drm that was the issue
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
So I used audible tunebite 10 it's actually quite a unique software. Basically since the file is protected by drm and I need to convert it so I can copy it to my phone I opened up tunebite and converted it. Tunebite re records the movie and takes what ever is going through the sound card and on the screen it then converts the file and you can do as you please with it because the new converted file is not protected by drm. The new output had basically the same quality as the original. Only con is it took about 2 and a half hours so I just watched the movie again. It's also really good for music. An example that you can use it for is let's say I want a song so I open up spotify turn record on in tunebite and it will capture the sound going through the sound card and then convert it to a file format I want. It also then automaticallt tags the song and then I can do as I please with it. It's a very nice software and you can buy it from their site or through amazon like I did.
There is a free trial that you can use to see what the software is capable of before you buy it that's what I did and I liked it. With the trial you are limited on how long you can recorded and what not but it's just to get a taste of it and see the results. Overall I think it works very well and I will deffidently get my money's worth.

And you say you are not a pirate. Circumventing drm is as punishable under the dmca as downloading a copy is. Tsk, tsk :angel:

:facepalm: No, him, using the same program
Yes that is probably not legal however the main reason I am using this is really just to make a copy of the movie I bought to covert it to a readable format and be able to play the movie on my nexus 7. Also since I'm just making a copy in a different format the drm has not been touched from the original file.

Hey i was just wondering how do i put movies on my phone. Got alot of test this week in school, trying not to be completely bored. Also if know of a site where there is free movies that'll be great too.
The absolute easiest way I have found is to get FreeMake Video Converter from freemake.com and copy the resultant converted for you device movie to the Movies folder on you SD card.

I downloaded the trial of Pavtube Video Converter just to test it... And O M G Its taking over 1 hour to convert 1 movie 800mb!!! Thats slow... Is this normal?.. can someone please tell me what I should do Any tips?
I download my movies and they usually come in AVI, MKV, MOV sometimes MP4.. I was told the g3 cannot take AVI because of all the different codecs that they could come in, so you will need to convert it but guys I need the best tool for this.
Moderator edit - no asking for warez
THank you
Edit your post please Warez is banned on XDA and you are stealing from XDA members in many cases .

you have been so wrongly informed - the GS3 will run those file justs fine (without the need for any conversion). If not you have issues using the stock player - use a 3rd party player than can play using software decoding.

Google "handbrake". Best free converter there is
If you download MX Player for free from the Play store then you can play all the most common video formats like avi, mp4, flv, mkv and many more. I use this myself and not had any problems at all.
Hope this helps.

or maybe he means this? i can do this with my computer monitor but it requires 2 different sources for video. so i can have my computer video full screen (via a dvi connection) but then have lets say a xbox playing in a small corner at the top through a different cable such as hdmi. looks something like this

No I believe he is talking about the "Pop-up Play" feature that the GS III introduced that lets you play a video, minimize it to do other stuff like text and browse while the video is still playing in a smaller "picture-in-picture" window like seen here. luisrod03 was also correct. Here is another app that let's you do the same thing but it isn't free like luisrod03's link.
Yes the app let me do what I was trying to do... I wanted to view a video while texting and doing things on the phone... Also when u tap on it it will go back to full screen but I do like that super app though

There is no way to decrypt them at this time, but you can always plug in your phone to your PC with a 3,5 audio cable from headphone jack on phone to microphone jack on PC. Then record each song with like sound recorder or Audacity.
Bump on this - It has been almost a year, and the service is now rolling out in Canada and other. Somebody must have looked into this?

Obviously not. Because this enables piracy, and we all know XDA doesn't condone that.
I can't test it at the minute but I'm fairly certain that if you log into Google Play Music on a PC, there is an option to download the individual tracks as MP3's. I think it allows you to do it 2 or 3 times per track.
Why not just do that instead of worrying about decrypting music on your phone?

Open chrome > new tab Incognito > enable desktopmode > visit the play music site> login to your google account> locate the purchased song and download( you can only download 2 times through the web).
