Droid X Tv shows/Movies help...

[zachmcdowell]

I've bought a lot of tv shows and movies on itunes and I now want to put some of them on my new droid x. I know you can,and already have,put music that I bought on itunes onto my droid,but I cant get any of the shows to play on my phone. Does anyone know if you can do this?

I used DVDFab 8 to convert DVD's to MP4's....I also moved files from my iTUNES library over and converted them for my Droid X.  There's a youtube video on how to use the software.  Just search youtube for DVDFab 8 to get the tutorial.  I also downloaded a free market app called doubleTwist to use as a player on my X.  It looks similar to iTUNES, so it has a familiar feel to it if you like using iTUNES.  You have to load doubleTwist onto both your X and your home PC/laptop.  Then you just connect your X to the PC and drag the movies or music from the library to your X.  Hope this helps!!

Why do you convert the files because the files should already be MP4? I have placed my Mp4 on ipod and also copied movies straight from library to other devices, I never refiltered.  DVDFab is a rather expensive solution, there is a number of apps that can do it as well, when I do need to filter images I use FLV to AVI MPEG WMV 3GP MP4 iPod Converter from http://www.aone-soft.com/flv_to_avi_mpeg_wmv_3gp_mp4_ipod_converter.htm. this can convert all formats listed to another format without issues.

Rockplayer. Not sure if iTunes places DRM on their movies but you can't drag and drop the files to your scard then play them with rockplayer for free. All you have to do is deal with a short a when you play the file or you can buy an ad-less version.

I perfer Meridian Player. Its only 2.99 compared to the 9.99 for Rock Player.. Plus it has more feature amd works as more than just a video player and it has a number of widgets included with app. 

Check it out at http://www.androidtapp.com/meridian-player/
and let me know what you think... It is a universal player for music, videos and play list.  check out video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs14gKe2TrI but keep in mind the software has been updated since this videos.

And as for itune placing DRM on files I cant say for sure but if so this may be a bump in playing them on another non iTune device but what I can say I have moved video files off itunes and played them on my WM devices in the past but those files could have been ones I added and didnt download from the iStore.

I did a quick bing search this morning, and it looks like iTumes does have DRM on their TV shows and movies. You will need software to remove the DRM before Droid X can play them.
