So there is much more available way to fix the issue? Luckily, there is! Based on my own experiment and customer’s feedback, the quick workaround is to convert Blu-ray to PS4 supported video formats like MPEG4, H264, etc. Actually, it is easy and worth your effort as long as you have a right Blu-ray to PS4 converter software like Pavtube BDMagic <review>. It offers specified video formats for PS4, PS3, PSP and many other game hardware like Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii and more. With it, you can rip Blu-ray to PS4 compatible videos with fast speed and extremely high quality.

Part 1: Download and install PS4 Software Update 3.11

As PlayStation 4 won’t play Blu-rays or DVDs out of the box, customers have to install the software update when first getting it.

If the PS4 is connected to the Internet, go to the function screen, select “Settings” -> “System Software Update”, and update to the latest system software 3.11. In case the PS4 has no Internet connection for the time being, users can also use an external disc or USB storage to update the console system. (Download PS4 system update file, about 308 MB)

1) To update via a disc, download and burn the system file into a disc, then play the disc on the PS4. Follow the guide to complete the update.

2) To update via a USB storage, first download the system file to computer and rename as “PS4UPDATE.PUP”, create a folder “PS4” and a sub-folder “UPDATE”, copy the file into “UPDATE” folder. Then copy the whole “PS4” folder into the USB storage. Next, touch the power button for at least 7 secs and wait for the complete shut-down. Connect the USB storage device. Long-touch the power button again until the PS4 starts, then follow the instructions to update.

After installing the update, go to “Settings” -> “System Software Update” under function screen to make sure the update (version 3.11) has been successfully installed. After that, users will be able to play Blu-ray or DVD discs on PS4, transfer PS4 games to PS Vita via Remote Play, use the featured sharing system as well as other functions, which are however unavailable under the default system.

10 Ways to Play an AVI File You Didn’t Know About

Leave a comment

AVI, Audio Video Interleave, is a multimedia container format commonly used in our daily life. However, its compression standard is not universal and different compression standards can cause failure while playing an AVI file. AVI files are great because they always offer great quality video. But sometimes you download an AVI file and it won’t play. So how can you play an AVI file?

Before moving to the main point, let’s talk about codecs. They’re important. Here’s a definition: “Codec is a small piece of program that plugs into your computer’s operating system and allows the software installed on your computer to perform the “decoding” for the video that has been ‘coded’ with the codec you installed.”

Maybe you’ve also heard about codecs, coders, encoders, and decoders, and you’re totally lost. What’s the relationship between them? Actually, a coder and an encoder are the same thing. A codec just a coder/encoder combined with a decoder. So, when someone talks about a codec, he or she is talking about two things: coder/encoder plus a decoder.

This site sums it up: “Codec, as a word is an abbreviation of coder/decoder. The person who put the video inside the video ‘coded’ the video and the person who wants to open the video (that is you) has to ‘decode’ the video.

Then you know that each video file contains a codec. If you want to play AVI, you not only need to be familiar with different tools/ways/platforms to play, you also need to know about codecs. Note that two AVI files that look the same may actually contain different codecs—that’s what happens when you can open one but not the other.

If you can’t play an AVI file, you have five main tools to use: software, operating system, device, video codec, and audio codec.Software

1. How to play an AVI with Windows Media Player

When software is the problem, the common solution is to replace one program with another. For example, if you can’t open your AVI with Windows Media Player, you might use VLC. But is Windows Media Player truly a poor playback tool? Nope. Most of the time, you can just check the box Windows Video File (avi) in Menu->Tools->Options->File Type. (Note that this doesn’t exist in WMP12, and is only available in the previous version.) Pls turn to>>Windows Media Player Won’t Play AVI? Solved with 3 methods.

2. How to play AVI with QuickTime on a Mac

Another common option people will recommend when you can’t play an AVI file with QuickTime is to convert it to another common video format, like MP4. But you can usually solve the problem just by adding a plugin like Perian. Perian is a great open-source (free) QuickTime plugin that allows to playback most of video formats like that cannot be played natively on Mac QuickTime, like AVI. Pls turn to >>Playing AVI on Mac OS X El Capitan.


Operating System

3. Ways to play AVI on iPad/iPhone/iPod

There are at least 2 ways to play an AVI on your iOS devices. The simplest way is to download a video player, which can support almost all kinds of video formats, including AVI. The most common tactic is to convert the file to another common format, like MP4, and display in your all iOS devices. However, for video playback in iOS devices, the hardest part is not how to play videos, but how to get them. The most convenient way to get videos for your iPad is via the iTunes Store. Signing up for a US iTunes account can save much time and money for you. What you need is a valid address in the United States. Then choose “None” for your payment option. Then buy iTunes US vouchers online and redeem them into the US iTunes account and enjoy your videos with no problem. Pls turn to >>Convert AVI to iTunes for importing.

4. How to play AVI on Android phones like SAMSUNG/HTC/NEXUS

Nine of ten people would recommend using a video converter to convert the AVI to other formats. However, the main problem you encounter is not to how to play an AVI on those android phones, but how to play it well. After you’ve installed a video player from Google Play or Amazon Apps, you can play AVI files on an Android phone. But there are usually some playback issues such as stuttering video, freezing video, audio sync issues, or even playback in slow-motion. Avoid those issues by using something called “Hardware Decoding,” which is completely designed for playing video. Pls turn to >>Enjoy 1080p/720p, HD Videos on Android.

Device

5. Ways to play AVI on TV like SAMSUNG TV

There are at least three ways to play an AVI on SAMSUNG TV/Apple TV. The most common way is to transfer your video to TV via USB/AV Cable/WiFi (HDMI Cable is only available for those who have an HDMI Plug). The second way is to convert with a video/TV converter. The last way is to cast it to TV directly with Chromecast. However, Chromecast doesn’t support AVI directly. You need to use a converter first and then plug this thumb-sized media streaming device into the HDMI port on your TV. Then you can set it up with a simple mobile app and share your favorite online shows, movies, and even webpages to your TV using your smartphone, tablet or PC. Pls turn to >>How to Play AVI on Samsung TV Via USB Port.

6. Ways to play AVI on Xbox 360

There are no special processes to play an AVI file from DVD, USB, or WiFi, because the Xbox 360 console only supports AVI files with DivX and XviD video. However, what if your video is not DivX or XviD? Don’t worry. Read tip 5 for how to convert AVI to DivX or XviD format directly. But that all assumes you have the fall 2007 update. To get the update, all you have to do is have the latest Dashboard update installed. (You are prompted to install Dashboard updates when they are available, the moment when you sign in to Xbox Live). >> Turn to Embedding .SRT to Divx/Xvid AVI for Xbox 360.

7. Ways to play AVI on Kindle Fire

Since it’s an Ebook reader, Kindle Fire has many limits to play videos, especial for AVI files, which have various codecs inside. Like any other mobile devices, users can choose to download a powerful video player app to play AVI files or convert AVI to other suitable formats. However, the first thing to notice before dropping your video files to Kindle is that it doesn’t have much space. There are only 5GB of space and you have no way to extend it with external SD card or similar. Therefore, when converting to other formats you need to pay attention to the size and resolution. Turn to >>Guides for Beginners to Enjoy AVI movies on Kindle Fire HDX.

Codec

8. Use the FFDSHOW codec to solve all AVI problems

Most users have video players on their PC/Mac. What they need is just a suitable codec to play them. FFDSHOW is the one you need. It’s a codec that supports most downloaded videos. What’s more, it’s free and open-source. It supports most common video compression methods and can provide good supports for using subtitles and various picture improvements. So just download it, install it on your PC, and follow the on-screen guides.

9. Other ways to play an AVI using codecs

Most of the time, your AVI problems can be solved with FFDSHOW. However, it’s still possible you won’t be able to decode it. In that case you need tools to analyze the AVI and find the right codec. There are two common tools: AVIcodec and GSpot, but I prefer to the former.
AVIcodec is a simple and easy-to-use program with two main tabs: Multimedia files and Codecs & Filters. Under Multimedia files, users can open and analyze video and audio files. That’s what we need. >>Top 5 Free Online AVI to MP4 Converter.

10. Ways to play an AVI with AC3Filter

Occasionally, an AVI file will play without audio. How does that happen? Like video, audio is also encoded and decoded with certain codecs. When you’re using multi-channel formats like AC3 and DTS, it requires special codecs to decode, like AC3Filter. It’s a free and open-source decoder.

All in all, there are multiple ways to play AVI video files.Try them out and see which is best to solve your problems. Click here to know more about ways to play any other video formats. Leave comments if you have any further questions.

Top One Solution – Getting mkv’s to play nice on Roku 4?

Leave a comment

Reddit User’s Commen Question: 

“ I’ve read that officially Roku supports mkv but I believe that goes as far as the container but not necessarily other codecs. My issue is I have a fair amount of mkv’s that will play, but they constantly stutter and skip as if they are in slow motion. I suspect it’s the audio codec used and not necessarily the container/video codec. Is there a windows tool I could use to change the container to mp4 or (and I said what I suspect is the real issue) re-encode the audio to some other format? My goal being that I don’t want to re-encode the video and don’t believe it’s necessary.” – Source >> here.

“Can I upload a bunch of old DVD’s onto Google Drive or Google’s new Photo? I have a bunch of old movie DVD’s I’d love to get rid of but still have access to on the cloud.” – Question from Quora.

Google Drive is Google’s new cloud storage services, like Dropbox, Apple iCloud, SkyDrive. It allows users to store files in the cloud, share files, and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with collaborators.

Almost all movies are encrypted with CSS copy protection. Decryption keys are stored in the normally inaccessible lead-in area of the disc. You’ll usually get an error if you try to copy the contents of an encrypted DVD to Google Drive. However, if you have used a software player to play the movie it will have authenticated the disc in the drive, allowing you to copy without error, but the encryption keys will not be copied. If you try to play the copied VOB files, the decoder will request the keys from the DVD-ROM drive and will fail. You may get the message “Cannot play copy-protected files”.

Fix Handbrake Rip DVD VOB to MP4 Aspect Ratio Distorted issue

Leave a comment

“I’m skillful at using Handbrake so I don’t know much about it yet. I’ve ripped 720×480 VOBs using DVD Decrypter and I’m now trying to convert these huge VOBs into more size-friendly MP4s with Handbrake. However, when I check “Keep Aspect Ratio”, it locks the dimensions to 720×304.”

If the DVD VOB to MP4 aspect ratio distored issue is not caused by the DVD Decrypter, you can fix the trouble with the suitable settings offered in the two options below:

Solution 1: Open Handbrake on your computer, on the main interface, click “Picture” tab, under this panel, click “Anamorphic”, from its drop-down options, select “Strick”, then the output video will strictly follow with the original file size. If there are still some problem with the output resolution, you will need to check if you have select the appropriate DVD Decrypter.

Solution 2: When decoding DVD or a Video_TS folder, Handbrake would spot the mismatch (2.37:1 stream vs 1.78:1 container) and would defer to the container’s settings. If you have selected “Anamorphic” > “None” option, disable “keep aspect ration”(since the reported PAR is wrong) and manually set the frame size to 720×400.

If the aspect ratio distored issue has some relationship with the DVD Decrypter, an alternative solution for DVD Decrypter + Hanbrake will be the best solution. Pavtube DVDAid for Windows/Mac (Top 5 DVD Ripper Review) is recommended to assist you to perform DVD VOB to MP4 conversion. This powerful tool is capable of ripping copy protected DVD VOB file to MP4, AVI and various other popular file formats.
