At some time or another, most people will find themselves wanting to get all of their media files—whether they are music files, movie files, home videos or image files, from their desktop computer onto a portable device such as an I Pad or I Phone. Unfortunately, many media files that are purchased in I Tunes compatible formats will not play on Windows based media devices, and the opposite is true as well; many files recorded in a Windows based format, or purchased and saved on a video game console like X Box, won’t play in a Macintosh format on your I Pad. Just a few years ago, this problem couldn’t be fixed legally. Now, however, there are quite a few good pieces of software available to handle this issue. I personally use Aimersoft DRM Media Convertor for Windows to handle all of my media conversion needs.
Aimersoft has a good reputation, and they are well known in the field of media manipulation software. Their programs are generally competitively priced, easy to use, and compatible with other Windows software and antivirus software. Using DRM Removal software on your legally purchased media, whether it is a movie or music, is very simple. I found that the simplest way to proceed when I wanted to transfer my media files from my Windows powered desktop to my I Pad was as follows:
I collected all the files I wished to transfer in one folder on my desktop, so I wouldn’t have to spend time looking for them. I then opened up my copy of DRM Media Converter opened up a new file in the program for movies and another for music, and simply dragged and dropped my selections into the folders so I could convert everything in batches. I took the time before I did this to use another program to edit my home movies that had been in Windows media player for several years. If you haven’t edited your home movies yet, the previously mentioned program is a very easily used editing and burning program.
Once I had dragged and dropped all my files into Media Convertor, I then used the DRM Removal software to convert the files into the appropriate form for my I Pad, M4V. I had a mixture of files to work with; everything from MP3 to AVI, my software was able to handle all of them. If you don’t wish to organize your files first, you don’t have to—most DRM media converter will detect the files in your computer it is able to work with—which is virtually all media files. Converting my music library took approximately 20 minutes, as I had a lot of songs. Most of my movies were converted in the same period of time, though how fast the files are converted depends on the file size and the media type. I personally had no difficulty using the program, and I was pleased with the final results. I discovered that the website for my DRM removal software has a lot of helpful tips and tutorial information if I had run into difficulties. I now have a well organized set of files on my Windows desktop computer, in Windows format, and I have a duplicate set of my favorite movies and music on my Apple I Pad.
