Fail to Rip DVD with VLC on PC/Mac? Here is Alternative

Summary: Having issues when play DVD with VLC on PC or Mac, Here is a Best VLC Alternative Review for you to take as reference.

“ I'm too lazy to get off the couch and look through my DVD collection to view my favorite movies with VLC on PC. But, It can not work. It also can’t recognize protected DVD well and failed to convert the DVD successfully. Anyone else use VLC to rip DVDs or do you use regular DVD ripping software? Do you know of an alternative way of ripping DVDs without the use of software? ”

VLC is powerful in both video playing and streaming. But since it is a player at first, it has inevitably limited the range of input and output formats. Also, VLC does not support the DVD with internal encryption, which has also restricted its capability of processing the DVDs. As an alternative to rip DVD, you can try Pavtube DVDAid. While VLC Player is a player first and converter second, DVD Aid is professional DVD conversion tool that does good at ripping DVD to VLC, MP4, MOV, AVI, etc. It supports a wide range of video format, media device, great output quality, etc.

Convert Blu-ray, DVD, Video to VTech InnoTab 3S /3 for playing with best video quality

Here is a step-by-step guide to show how to remove Blu-ray/DVD protection and convert HD Videos (MKV, AVI, VOB, Tivo, MTS) to VTech InnoTab 3S and InnoTab 3.

Q1: I purchased this for my 5 year-old nephew (we have guardianship of him) for Christmas this year. We paired it with the new Innotab 3S. He loves it!! It gets plenty loud enough for his bedroom. He enjoys listening to his mp3's and watching the videos he has downloaded on his Innotab 3S. Well worth it to save on battery use. But is any way to get his favorite Blu-ray DVD movies with this Kids Table for freely playback without drive?

Q2: We got this along with the Innotab 3 for my son's Christmas gift. He absolutely loves it. He always tries to put my tablet on the dock, and now he can do the same thing with his own tablet. The sound is great, and it doesn't get too loud. Just enough for the kids. Great toy and a cool idea from Vtech. And there is a function- Wish List Maker which lets kids wirelessly explore hundreds of games, e-books, videos, music and more on VTech’s Learning Lodge and send their favorite picks right to mom or dad’s email. All is good but he find some videos are not supported by this tablet, then how to solve this issue and then we can view movies without boundary?



It is fun for watching movies on VTech InnoTab, but InnoTab 3S and InnoTab 3 only plays its preferred video stuff. MPEG-4 and H.264 are always the most compatible formats with InnoTab 3S and InnoTab 3.

What we need?

To transfer Blu-ray/DVD to VTech InnoTab 3S and InnoTab 3, the first step is to remove commercial Blu-ray discs and DVDs protection from film studio, and then do the conversion. After several trials, we recommended this InnoTab Video Converter Ultimate which is powerful in quick decrypting the protected discs within a few clicks. Also it's capable of converting BD/DVD discs and various videos to 1080p/720p MP4 for VTech InnoTab 3S and InnoTab 3.

FYI: Its Mac version is renamed as iMedia Converter for Mac.

According to video testing result, for watching videos on the Android tablet, 720p with 1500~2500kbps is just all right.Step 4. Convert Blu-ray/DVD movies and Various Videos to VTech InnoTab 3S and InnoTab 3.

Now click "Convert" button to start converting Blu-ray/DVD/Video to VTech InnoTab. When the conversion task is finished, you can click “Open output folder” button to get the videos ready for playback on VTech InnoTab 3S and InnoTab 3.
