Google TV was released by Google on May 20, 2010 as a Smart TV platform. It combines Google’s Android OS and Google Chrome browser to create an interactive television overlay. Let’s take a look at the key features of Google TV.

From above, we can figure out that Google TV supports many video formats but Blu-ray movies. It is not Google TV’s fault, because all of the TV sets are not to be decided to ship any Blu-ray drives for reading Blu-ray discs. If you want to enjoy Blu-ray movies on Google TV, I suggest you rip Blu-ray to Google TV compatible videos after copying Blu-ray movies to your PC.
To rip Blu-ray movies to Google TV, you must need a Blu-ray to Google TV ripper to help you. Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper may be the most suitable Google TV Blu-ray video converter. With simple steps below, you may find it easy to convert Blu-ray movies for Google TV playing.
Step 1: Choose output format and set profile settings after importing Blu-ray movies to Pavtube Blu-ray to Google TV ripper.
Click the format bar to choose output format for your Google TV. Many formats can be fine for playing on Google TV, here I recommend you choose HD Video >> H.264 HD Video (*.mp4). Then click “Settings” and customize advanced audio and video parameters. Here you choose a favorable format from versatile video and audio formats. If you want to keep 5.1 channel on the output videos, you can click the Channel option to choose 5.1 Channel.
Step 2: Start to rip Blu-ray to Google TV MP4 with 5.1 sounds.
Finally click on “Convert” button to start ripping Blu-ray movies to HD MP4 videos. Blu-ray ripping is time-consuming. You could set auto shutdown in progress window (it pops up once you click Convert) or leave it there and come back later (the ripper will tell you how long it takes). After the conversion finished, you can copy converted videos to NAS and stream Blu-ray movies to Google TV for playing with through DLNA.
