Movie download to PlayBook...?

[Canuck]

Is there a simply way to download movies to PlayBook that is easily understood by a 70 year old 'technopeasant' like me...? Any assistance greatly appreciated...!

You could use the video store app.

Or are you trying to a movie you own on DVD to a digital format?

No, just interested in buying something online to view on the plane...

If you upgraded to 2.0 it has a video store the use can use to purchase movies. As long as you are in the. US.

Or you can rip a copy to a PC (I have a Mac) (only if you own a copy of the movie) and then copy it to the Playbook by Wi-fi or the BB desktop software and watch it.

Download a movie from any website you can or use the built-in video store. PlayBook supports a great variety of standard formats - see "Supported Media Types on BlackBerry Tablets Reference Guide" ... sorry - I am not allowed to post URLs so here it is this way:

docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/27267/Supported_Media_Types_on_BlackBerry_Tablets_(English).pdf

(no spaces in the URL, don't know why the preview is adding it, or Google the name)

If you already have the movie on your computer, you can simply copy it to your PlayBook in one of two ways:

a) Allow file sharing over WiFi (Settings -> Storage & Sharing, then allow "File Sharing" *and* Wi-Fi Sharing). Your PlayBook will appear on the network with its shared drive so you can copy the files from your computer to it wirelessly.

b) Just allow file sharing (like above, not WiFi) and connect your PlayBook to your computer using USB cable. If you are doing this for the first time you will install some software, then you will notice a new drive, which is the PlayBook.

Use PavTube to make a backup of the video to mp4 at 720p.
