Now just download it and follow the step-by-step guide to get your Blu-ray, DVD movies and 1080/720p videos into Google/LG Nexus  5 for playing without problems.

• Top Video Converter Ultimate Review

Simple Guide of transferring or copying movies to  Google/LG Nexus  5 (DVD, Blu-ray, video):

Note: BD drive is required for ripping Blu-ray disc. Converter supports Macintosh computer running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

Step 1. Once run the Ultimate Video Converter for Nexus 5 on your PC, import source media for movie to Nexus 5 conversion. You can click "Add Video" to load video files like MTS/M2TS, MKV, MOV, TOD, TiVo, etc or click on "BD/DVD folder" to load movie from DVD and Blu-ray source(Disc, folder, ISO).



Tip: By click "settings" button, you can easily adjust the output parameters of the video. Remember the file size is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss.

To get 1080p resolution playback on Google Nexus 5, you can set output size at “1280*720” or “1920*1080”. According to my experience, for watching Blu-ray/DVDs and videos on the Nexus 5, 720p with 1500kbps~2000kbps (depending on the movie length) is just all right.

Step 2. Select output format. You can easily find the optimized profiles for Nexus 5 under "Android > Google Nexus 4 H.264 Video(*.mp4)" which is specially designed for Google/LG Nexus  5.



Or you can choose a profile for general Android devices which is compatible with Google/LG Nexus 5 as well.

Step 3. Click "Convert" button to start converting Video, DVD, Blu-ray movie to Google/LG Nexus  5 optimized videos.

With that in mind, it is tempting to get this glamorous gadget for watching DVD movies and videos on its HD retina display.

However, iPad Air doesn't have a built-in DVD-ROM or DVD player. If you have some DVD movie collections and want to enjoy DVD movies on the iPad Air, you need to convert DVD to iPad Air accepted videos on computer as your first move along with some help from third-party softwares.

Now get it installed and let's start to quick convert Tivo to proper video formats on PC with perfect videoaudio sync technology 

Part 1: Transfer TV shows from TiVo to PC

It takes a while depending on length of TV program you are transferring. Make sure your TiVo and computer are in the same home network, and follow this guide to proceed TiVo file transfer: 

1. On your PC, launch TiVo Desktop for PC (click to download), the freeware that transfers shows from your networked TiVo box to your computer. 

2. Click "Pick Recordings to Transfer." A window showing your TiVo box's "Now Playing" or "My Shows" list appears. 

3. Highlight any title in the list to see more information about the show. Check the box next to the title of the show (or shows) you want to transfer. 

4. Click "Start Transfer." Transfer times vary, but may take as long as the show's duration to complete the transfer. 


Part 2: Convert TiVo shows to iPhone 5C friendly MP4 video

After transferring to computer the TV shows are saved as .tivo files. See below how to convert TiVo shows to iPhone 5C playable videos. 

Step 1. Download and install Pavtube Tivo to iPhone 5C Converter to your PC.

 

Launch it and press "Option" button. Switch to "TiVo" tab in Option window, and enter TiVo Media Access Key. 

Tip: How to find your Media Access Key on TiVo: Go to "TiVo Central" menu >> "Messages and Set Up" "Account and System Information", and your Media Access Key would be there. 



Step 2. Drag and drop TiVo shows to the main interface for converting. 

Step 3. Click "Format" and select an output profile for your iPhone 5C. 

Click the drop-down list on the bottom, select "iPhone" on the left, and then we will find all the presets for different models of iPhone.

To get best video quality on iPhone 5C, you are suggested to choose "iPhone 5S/5C H.264 Full HD 1080P (*.mp4)" or "iPhone 5S/5C H.264 HD 720P(*.mp4)" as the target video format at your needs.




Tips: If you want to convert videos to iPhone 5S/5C with best settings, you need to download profile patch for the software at first. 


Optimize the settings – The default settings may not satisfy you, and you can click the settings button to change the settings by yourself. Keep in mind that the file size and conversion quality is based more on bitrate than resolution (bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss, and vice versa). According to my experience, for watching videos on iPhone 5C, 720p with 1500~3000kbps is just all right. 

Step 4. If you're happy with the output videos, just press the "Convert" button to begin encoding TiVo shows to MP4 for iPhone 5C. 

Once the encoding task completes, you can transfer the converted videos to your iPhone 5C for viewing on the move when travelling.

I have a bunch of mkv film with a DTS soundtrack which I want to play the new iPhone 5C. Hoping to really put this new Retina display to the test, but I find they won't be played. And I'm looking for a good app to convert these .mkv files to iTunes for iPhone 5C syncing. Anyone konws? 

Apple announced the release of two new iPhones: the high-end iPhone 5S and a budget version comes with colorful cases, the iPhone 5C. iPhone 5C carries a 4-inch Retina display and A6 processor as the iPhone 5. It features Retina display and have more powerful chip in graphics processing, this makes watching movies on iPhone 5C a great joy. 

But as above quesions, you will find you can't view MKV with DTS audio on iPhone 5C with iTunes, as the default and downloaded player on the IOS smartphone cannot find a suitable decoder for the DTS audio.

To get MKV DTS files to play on iPhone 5C with iTunes, you may have to convert MKV DTS to something that iPhone 5C or iTunes can recongnize. Here is how.

Step Two. Choose target video format.

Choose the iTunes supported formats in the "Format" dropdown list. You can go to "Common Video" or "HD Video" options to find what you like. I think MP4 format is better for iTunes.

But, here you are recommended to choose "iPhone 5S/5C H.264 Full HD 1080P (*.mp4)" or "iPhone 5S/5C H.264 HD 720P(*.mp4)" as the target video format at your needs.



Tips: If you want to convert videos to iPhone 5S/5C with best settings, you need to download profile patch for the software at first. 

Step Three. Customize video specs. (Optional) 

Click "Settings" to open profiles settings window. Here you are able to customize video size, bitrate, frame rate, sample rate(Hz)…all the specs can be fixed manually. A personal tip: the higher bitrate you choose, the better video quality will be; and you will get videos in larger size. 

Step Four. Start Conversion.

Go ahead and click "Convert" button to get MKV with DTS audio to iTunes conversion started. After a while, you can find the generated file for iTunes quickly via "Open" button. 

Now open your iTunes and then sync the converted mp4 movies to iTunes library for convenient playback on iPhone 5C. In this way, you can enjoy your favorite MKV with DTS audio on your iPhone 5C with iTunes wherever you are.
