Movie Tips on Mac

Amazon Store offers instant streaming on the Kindle Fire, as well as PC, Mac, Roku, and hundreds of TVs and Blu-ray players. All of your videos are stored in Your Video Library, so you can access them anywhere you go. Good news is that Amazon Instant Video is now playing on your iPad. Videos you’ve purchased or rented are already available on your iPad. However, you can not transfer Amazon Videos to iTunes for synchronizing with more iOS devices like iPhone, iPod, Apple TV etc. The problem is that video files purchased from Amazon Instant Video are usually DRM-protected WMV (Windows Media Video) files. To sync Aamzon videos to iTunes, you may have to fix two things:

1. Since DRM limited your use on iTunes, so you’ll need to strip DRM from Amazon Videos so as to play them on more non-authorized devices.
2. WMV is a not an iTunes-supported format. You’ll need to convert it to either .mov, .mp4, or .m4v that is supported by iTunes. continue reading…

Last week I have successfully sync my iTunes library to my Android phone using the third party application called iSyncr. And while the process is much easier than you may think. Quite a few of you may have a hard time synchronizing your iTunes to your Android, so I figured I would throw this quick tutorial up, guaranteed to transfer iTunes music to your Android device.

Something You Gotta Known About iSyncr:

iSyncr is very simple to set up and easy to use. It is a great app for keeping your iTunes library synced to your Android handset over USB or WiFi effortlessly. It supports selective playlist sync and automatic syncing. It’s not free, but once you begin to use it you will realise that the small price you pay is nothing compared to how much easier copying your music and videos and songs to your phone is.

iSyncr is available for Windows or for Mac users. You can get the Windows version here, and the Mac version here. It has several add-ons such as WiFi syncing and USB transfer (your device needs to be plugged in to the computer to sync). Making iSyncr work optimally requires two general steps. The first one is to set up and configure iSyncr properly on your Android phone, and the second one is to properly set up and configure a music player (that works in harmony with iSyncr) on your phone. continue reading…
