I just ordered my Infinity, but was wondering how everyone is getting their movies onto the tablet? I've got quite a large movie collection but am a little unsure of how to transfer them to the Infinity?
Generally speaking, you rip the DVD/Blu-Ray using your computer + a ripping program (such as Handbrake), then copy the resulting file to the MicroSD card in your tablet.
I would use DVDFab. You can rip your DVD and Bluray movies to video files. I use it for my movies.

I use DVD Catalyst. It has presets for the TF700 and if you have 2 dvd drives you can rip two discs at once. Or better: Sequentially without having to be there to swap. I often load 2 dvds at night and let it do it's thing while I sleep.
Copying the files to a 32gb class 4 microSD is pretty fast on a PC. Tried to transfer the files via Airdroid over WiFi, but that takes forever. Plus, Airdroid does not transfer to external cards and I don't want to clog up my internal card with media files.

Can't you plug in the usb and transfer via that? I'd imagine that would be pretty fast...?
So how's the quality on DVD Catalyst? Also, and this is a stupid question, but can you rip a Bluray on a regular DVD drive? I don't have a Bluray drive but lots of Blurays.
Is there a way to make subtitles available when ripping but have the option to turn them on/off on the Infinity? I like to have subtitles available, but don't always want to use them.
The quality is just fine for me. The movies look just as they would when playing the disc. DVD catalyst has several presets for the Tf700. Normal, fast, HQ1, HQ1 1080, HQ2, HQ2 1080, HQXT and HQXT 1080. Their website has all the necessary info: www.tools4movies.com
There's a fully functional trial version which rips 25% of each track on the disc. The full version is $10. Pretty reasonable IMHO.
I know that you need an additional piece of software to rip Bluerays - it's in the help files.
I remember reading something about subtitles, I believe that functionality is there. If you can turn them on or off doesn't have anything to do with the Infinity per se. It depends on the app you use to play your movies.

I use DVDFab, choose ipad 1080p and the blu_rays so converted are fabulous. I put them on a 500gb usb drive, plug it in to the tablet and watch from the external hd.
I have a external hard drive loaded with movies. What would be the best way to transfer some of them to my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T?
