If you're a BlackBerry fanatic, the Blackberry Bold must be very familiar to you. Yes, the Bold’s screen is dazzling enough to warrant its own section dedicated simply to praising it. Despite of its awful media manager, watching videos on Blackberry Bold is amazing. The Bold phones are cleaner and brighter, more powerful and beautiful. The external speaker is surprisingly good, too, with richer sound than most other handsets. I managed to put all my DVD and blu-ray movie collections to the SD card of the phone and take the movies along when traveling. Want to know how did I customize (convert and shrink) DVD and blu-ray movies to Blackberry videos and transfer the movies to Blackberry Bold? Well, you may find details in the step-by-step guide below. No matter you are using the Bold 9700, 9650 or 9000, there is a best fit for you.
Required Hardware: Blu-ray disc drive
Required Software: Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper (you may download a trial version of the Blu-ray to Blackberry Bold Converter and try it out)
Step 1: Run Pavtube Blu-ray to Blackberry Bold Converter, and import source blu-ray/ DVD movies
Click “BD/DVD ROM”to load your source blu-ray or DVD movie. The movie to Blackberry Bold converter supports batch conversion, so you can add DVD and blu-ray movie clips to it at a time. It usually takes a few seconds to load your Blu-Ray movie from target BD drive. When all the movie clips are loaded to file list, check the main movie and leave the unwanted files unchecked. The main movie is distinguished by its length (duration). So check the longest Title. You could view it in preview window.
Step 2. Set audio track and subtitles for selected chapters.
You can select audio track and subtitle (if necessary) for blu-ray and DVD movie clips. Click on the Audio box and select an audio track with desired language. Set subtitles in the same way. There is a box of “Force Subtitles” too. When you set English as subtitle and check the box of “Force Subtitles”, the subtitle appears only when languages other than English are spoken. For example, in the movie Avatar, if I select English subtitle and set Force Subtitles, the subtitle appears only when the Navi language is spoken.
