In every respect, the Asus Transformer Prime TF201 is much faster and stronger than its predecessor. Multitasking and HD movie playback on Asus Transformer Prime is a piece of cake now. With a high resolution(up to 1080p) and a long battery life(14.5 hours), the Android-based Tablet is really amazing for watching movies on the go. However, sometimes something goes wrong when you tried to play iTunes purchased contents on Asus Transformer Prime. Don’t fret! Here I’m sharing my experience to help those who feel like transferring iTunes videos to Asus Transformer Prime with Mac.

Why can’t we view iTunes purchased contents (movies/TV shows/music videos) on Asus Transformer Prime?

This is simply the Apple’s latest attempt to Digital Rights Management(DRM). Most iTunes purchased movies are protected by Apple’s DRM, which prevents you from playing the videos on non-Apple products. These iTunes movies, however, will not play on unauthorized devices due to DRM copy protection. Unfortunately the Transformer Prime TF201 have not get a license to play DRM contents, which means iTunes movies will not even play on Asus Transformer Prime. Continue reading »

Steps for Getting Apple TV to output 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio

Have you ever got some kind of trouble like this:
Can not get Apple TV 2 to output 5.1 Dolby audio – I can not get 5.1 sound out of the new apple TV. I have downloaded HD content as mentioned in various posts to try and test, but nothing. My receiver does not recognize the input as being 5.1. My Apple TV is connected to my TV by HDMI (obviously), but I am using the optical port to connect the audio to my receiver. I have also tried the suggestions about changing the optical setting to ON, language settings to default instead of English, but nothing. Some posts talk about stripping out the encoding using special software, but I can not believe that is the solution for something that should just work.

The new Apple TV(3rd generation 1080p Apple TV) offers the simplest way to watch your favorite HD movies and TV shows on your HD TV for the breakthrough price of just $99. While enjoying stunning HD image quality, many folks are having problem with audio, in specific, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.

Convert/Transfer TiVo Recordings to Mac H.264-compliant videos for iPad 3, iPod and Apple TV 3 playing

As the most advanced and innovative DVR (digital video recorder) ever built, the TiVo brings the best entertainment from cable and the web together in one place. That way we could record what we were already paying for and watch shows when I had the time to watch them. Yeah Tivo has a monthly fee but it’s the principle of the thing! Besides, a new toy is cool and fun to play with. Our biggest problem with Tivo was working out how to get the shows from the Tivo box to our Apple TV 3, iPad 3, and iPods where we could watch them the way we wanted to.

As is well known, the The standard application for moving recordings from the Tivo box to the Mac is Roxio Toast. It’s what Tivo recommends and it’s what Hollywood has blessed. The problem with Toast is that DRM Tivo attaches to all recorded shows doesn’t allow any editing or transcoding of your recorded Tivo file. That’s when I started looking around for another way. What I found that worked best was an application called Pavtube Video Converter, a top Mac TiVo Converter.

The program is a great little application that allows you to download your Tivo recordings to your Mac. And it packs perfect support for TiVo recordings as well as HD footages, Flash videos, General Video, QuickTime video(*.mov), etc. With the application, you can easily convert TiVo HD shows to Mac iTunes compatible formats without quality loss for smoothly streaming with Apple TV 3, iPad / iPad 2 / new iPad, iPhone 4S and other iOS devices.
