Backup DVD to Video File on Computer

I believe that every film lover has a large number of DVD movies in their storage. To protect the DVD disc, most of the flim fans do not watch the movies with the DVD. They always backup their DVD movies to video format or make a copy to another DVD. When they want to watch the movie, they just juse the copy DVD or just watch the video file from their computer.

To backup DVD movies into video files on computer, you need a dvd ripping software. DVD ripper is the best choice to do that. This kind of software can help you to rip your DVD movies into one video file and you can choose the output format and other settings. To save the effect of the DVD movies, I think MKV is the best choice to convert. However, if you want to watch your movies on your iPad and other android tablet, you need to choose .mp4 format I think.

The software allows users to choose subtitles and audio track from the DVD movies and you can juse rip the main movie without the annoying ads. If you only want a part of the movie, the dvd riping software can help you to do that. It can cut any part of the movie to rip and it can help you to merge many video files into on output video file. It can also cut off the black edges of the movie. It allows users to set the aspect ratio. In order to make the conversion process easier, the developer provides users many default output profiles. So users do not need to adjust the output video's settings when they want to rip their movies to a certain video format. Of course, if you want to adjust the video's setting and effect, most of dvd ripper software allows users to do that. For Mac users, dvd ripper for mac is your choice to do that. It does the same as the windows version does.

If you choose to make a copy of the DVD movie and use the copy to watch. It's OK. Then you need a DVD copy software to help you to copy your DVD movies to a blank DVD disc. All the commercial DVD movies has protections to prevent people sell the movie to others without warrant. If you use it personally, it is ok. To copy DVD, you need a DVD burner and a blank DVD disc. The dvd copy software can help you to copy whatever on one DVD to another. You can also choose the only copy the main movie. I recommend the second way to do that, because we just want to watch the main movie and do not want to watch the ads and other things. If you are using Mac OS computer, you need a DVD copy for mac to help you to do that.

To backup your DVD movies is only a way to protect your DVD movies, you can choose either way I said above to do that. Of course you can also use the DVD movies you purchased from store. That's your choice. I just recommend my ways to protect your DVD disc.

Apple Planning to Launch a New iPad Mini

DVD to iPad is developed to rip/convert DVDs to your iPad files.

Although Apple’s new iPad has only been on store shelves for weeks, the company is planning to launch a new slate, called the iPad Mini. Rumormongers have been spreading tales of a miniature, 7-inch Apple tablet since before Apple even released its first iPad in 2010. It’s reported that the pint-size Apple tablet will land in the third quarter of this year to “counter attack” upcoming Windows 8 tablets and 6 million units will be ready for launch, and the smaller tablet could sell for $249 to $299.

The device will come with a smaller screen size and a far more affordable price tag, and compete against Amazon’s Kindle Fire and the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet. If and when the device launches, it could be a sales juggernaut. Foxconn and Pegatron are reportedly making the mini iPad. As Kotaku pointed out, "Pegatron was at one point a subsidiary of Asustek, who are currently working with Google on the next line of Android tablets.” While Steve Jobs himself has dismissed the notion of a smaller iPad, rumors have continued to pop up that Apple is readying a smaller version of its iPad. The success of Amazon's Kindle Fire, which has sold well largely thanks to its lower price tag, may have convinced Apple that there is an opportunity for a smaller, more affordable tablet. Analysts have said such a device would help it maintain its lead over competitors.

Apple has a 7.85-inch iPad in its labs, various claims of Apple moving closer to production of the smaller iPad have also been surfacing as rumors continue to swirl. Apple may be preparing the smaller iPad as a response to the expected launch of competitive devices running on Windows 8, according to the report. While Android tablets haven't sold as well, Microsoft could have more luck given the potential to integrate desktop, laptop, and tablet operating systems. Rumors about a smaller iPad have been circulating since before the March launch of the new iPad, which retained its 9.7-inch size. Back in December, there were reports that Apple had purchased 7.85-inch panels from LG Display and AU Optronics. Then in February the Wall Street Journal claimed to have a source who confirmed that Apple was testing the new, smaller screen line of tablets.

Apple is expected to launch the iPad Mini at some point toward the end of 2012. When that happens, the last thing Apple should do is bring iOS 5 to the device. Apple will likely launch iOS 6 over the summer, making it a near-necessity for the company to bundle its latest software in the device. A recent report from Gartner said that Apple will maintain its tablet dominance for years. About 61.4 percent of tablet purchases this year will likely be for the Apple iPad, while Android tablets will probably make up 31.9 percent of tablet sales in 2012.

Amazon’s E-Ink Kindle Will Feature a Front-lit Screen

According to the report of TechCrunch, Amazon’s next-generation Kindle will feature a “glowing” display. Amazon bought the Oy Modilis Company – the world leader in light-guide technology in 2010, and plans to adopt the light-guide technology to the E-Ink Kindle e-reader.

The E-Ink Kindle would target a different user demographic than the popular Kindle Fire, which is designed for tablet-style activities like gaming and video streaming–two uses poorly suited for today’s non-backlit, monochrome e-paper displays with very low refresh rates. It was that blue-white glow found in uncorrected white LEDs, not the warm light on off-white that most people associate with books by lamplight. But, of course, the e-ink screen is in fact grey and dark grey, not black on off-white, as paper is, so a cooler light may actually work better. At any rate, they are apparently sensitive to these issues and looking into it. An e-Ink screen might make the Kindle better to readers of children’s books, graphic novels, and textbooks.

Coldewey, who lives in Seattle near Amazon’s offices, writes: “The device I saw was crudely camouflaged in a sort of cardboard enclosure, but the screen was clearly visible. With a tap, a slider popped up on the screen, and as it was dragged to the right, the screen lit up evenly with a rather cool light. In the dark, it was plainly noticeable as a glow, and in uneven light — say, shade or a shuttered room — the slight illumination made the screen much more readable.” As for the shape of the device, it was impossible to tell, wrapped as it was in its little cardboard box. But the size appears the same, and the whole point of purchasing the light-guide company was to get the team and their patents, which essentially laminate the light diffusion layer right onto the screen without adding much in the way of depth or interfering with the touch system.

The new Kindle doesn’t look like it’s going to address all of the issues with this kind of device, but the improved display will definitely set it apart from its rivals. We’ll know for sure when it comes out later this year, the future may bring hybrid, switchable displays that offer the best of both worlds in tablet-oriented tasks such as games and video; and monochrome e-ink for reading, predicts IDC analyst Bob O’Donnell.

According to the Japanese" Nikkei news" report, Sony will be the first to lay off 10000 people worldwide at the end of this year, accounting for about 6% of the total number of employees. In addition, Sony calls 7 executive directors including Stringer to return bonuses.

Sony has been suffered deficit for 4 consecutive years, so the new CEO Pingjingyifu has been under great pressure. Sony last fiscal year net loss is expected to reach 220 billion yen (about $2.9 billion), much higher than previously expected 90 billion yen (about $1.2 billion).

He said:" according to Sony's current situation, I have a strong sense of crisis. In order to Sony's future, we will not hesitate to make a painful choice, because of the rival and current environment will not wait for us."

According to reports, half the job cuts will come from Sony chemical and small LCD business integration. It is not clear whether the company in Japan and overseas redundancy ratio. Japan's biggest electronics exporter and by the end of March 31st the total employees reached 168,200.

Sony declined to make any comments.

"The news" report will be to push up stock prices, for the market is expected to promote their business." Japan Shinkin asset management company chief fund manager Naoki Fujiwara says.

Because Pingjingyifu once led the PlayStation game business profitable, he was highly acclaimed. He will introduce a new management team, and has personally taken leadership of Sony TV service, which has been expected to be at loss for eighth consecutive years. He had set out to revive the television business. Sony exited out of the panel factory joint with Samsung, and this will save about 50 billion yen cost for Sony TV service.

Stringer will be as Sony chairman in June this year, after the general assembly of the shareholders, in his 2005 June as the Sony CEO, replaced the department leaders to strengthen cooperation, and laid off 30000 people return to profitability.
