The Steps - Convert and Copy Blu-ray movies to Nook HD Tablet

Note: The quick start guide below uses Blu-ray Ripper Windows screenshots. The way to rip Blu-ray movies to Nook Tablet on Mac is almost the same.

1. Launch Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper, pop in your disc to your BD drive.

2. Click "Disc" icon to load Blu-ray movie files (You can also import DVD, ISO/IFO and DVD Folders etc.).

3. Select subtitles and audio track - Click on the dropdown list of "Subtitles" and "Audio" respectively to select your needed subtitles and audio track (You can skip this step).

4. Choose output format. Click "Format" bar, follow "Android > Nook Tablet(*.mp4)"

5. Start conversion.

6. Transfer the result videos to Nook HD and then you can start viewing Blu-ray movies on Nook HD Tablet.

Once you've mastered these basics, you may consider exploring more powerful and complex methods of manipulating video. For example you can further compress video file size, or choose specific output resolutions using the software.

Below is the best format settings per my experience, you can take it as reference:

(Click "Settings" button to set the video/audio parameters as Nook HD best Video format)

Video

Codec- H.264

Resolution- 1280×720 (HD)

Bitrate- 1500/2000kbps

Framerate- 24fps

Audio

Codec- AAC

Sampling rate- 44.1khz

Bitrate- 128kbps

Channel- stereo

The supported resolution of Nook HD goes up to 1080p, though video playback and most apps never break out of 720p. For watching videos on the Android-based Tablet, 720p with 1500~2000kbps is just all right. I find that bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss.
