But you are still wondering how you could enjoy Blu-ray Avatar on your DLNA Certified TV. Yes, you want to share with your friends who are visiting. Now follow the guide to help you decrypt BD+ protected BD Avatar and convert the movie to your DLNA networked pc for sharing in DLNA Certified TV.

Convert Avatar in your networked pc and playback in your DLNA Certified TV

Part 1: Decrypt and convert blu-ray Avatar to HD video on your networked PC

Step 1: Download, launch Blu-ray Ripper and load BD Avatar to the app.

Download Aunsoft Blu-ray Ripper to your DLNA networked pc and launch the all-in-one Blu-ray Ripper, load BD Avatar to the program by clicking “BD/DVD Rom” in the menu bar.

Step 2: Choose output format and specify destination folder

After you successfully load blu-ray Avatar to Aunsoft Blu-ray Ripper, specify your output folder in “Output” bar. After that, choose “HD Video” output format in “Format” drop-down list to decrypt & convert BD Avatar to your hard drive, for example in this case I choose MPEG-2 HD Video format for A DLNA-compatible Samsung HDTV. When the process is finished, you can get Avatar BD folder in your output destination.

Hints: Compatible files: DLNA-supported file types and extensions are listed below.
Music – MP3 (.mp3)
Photos – JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg)
Video – MPEG1 (.mpg, .mpeg) MPEG2 (.mpg, .mpeg, .trp, .ts, .tp) DIVX (.mpg, .mpeg, .avi) MPEG4 AVC (.mpg, .mpeg)

Part 2: Enjoy Avatar in your DLNA certified TV by accessing videos in networked PC

Step 1: Add converted Avatar to your designating folder for sharing on DLNA certified TV.

In this process, certain PC share manager software may be needed according to different DLNA certified TV sets. Let me take SAMSUNG PC Share Manager as an example, after you install manager software, a simple way to share videos on your home network is to create and name specific folders for DLNA certified TV to access. Create a new folder on your networked pc, and then name it accordingly, for example “Videos”. Copy or load in Avatar movie to the folder you want to access.

PC Share Manager will only access those folders you designate as being shared. Here”s how to do that. Select a folder you would like to share, or create a new folder for sharing.

Step 2: Enjoy Avatar movie in your DLNA certified TV

Accessing your Avatar movie is as easy as pushing the WiseLink button on your Samsung HDTV. Make sure that your media server or networked PC is turned on, and that that the PC Share Manager application is running so that WiseLink Pro can find your shared files and folders.

You can access WiseLink Pro directly from your remote, or from the main menu. (The red Device button, located directly below the Info button on your remote control, lets you choose between one or more networked PCs and the WiseLink USB connector on the side of your Samsung HDTV.) Once you have started WiseLink Pro, you will see the main menu shown below.

Now lie down on your couch and enjoy Avatar movie with your friends on the big screen TV!

TIPS:

1. What is DLNA?
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a standard used by manufacturers of consumer electronics to allow entertainment devices within the home to share their content with each other across a home network. It defines a standard for moving movies, photos, music and other media from device to device.

2: How to get started with DLNA?
All you need to get started is a network – wired or wireless. That’s because DLNA Certified devices today connect, discover and communicate with each other over a home network – like the one you might already have for sharing your broadband Internet. While many standard Windows Media Center computers work with the standard, we like the idea of using a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device to store all of our media in one place. Since it’s a central repository, all of your computers can access it to use and store media, and DLNA capable players can access the media from the NAS and play it back on your TV. Typically, NAS devices are slightly more expensive than comparably equipped external hard drives, but instead of simply plugging into a computer, NAS devices plug directly into the network, freeing up a computer from staying on all the time and serving media.

If you’re really determined to save some cash, Nero MediaHome is a software based solution that will turn any Windows PC into a DLNA server. The plus side is that users won’t need to duplicate media, and if Windows Media Center isn’t an option, MediaHome will fill the void nicely.

If you’ve got a massive collection of music, photos, movies or have a PC based DVR, DLNA could help get your media around your home. If you’re not ready to plunk down the cash, keep watching, as we think DLNA will be a tech item to keep an eye on.
