Transferring a DVD to the Desk top and then downloading to Kindle Fire

I want to transfer some of my DVD films to my Kindle Fire; can I do this by using the DeskTop DVD Drive first to copy to a store on the computer and then downlaodng to a Kindle, I am not technically dexterous so would like a detailed guide p[lease if it is possible.
This question was solved.

Hi antaustin,
General DVDs won't allow you to simply copy and paste the video files to your PC. You would need to get a video decoder that can change the file to a digital version format that Kindle recognizes. Kindle likely won't recognize the standard DVD format either. If you have DVDs that include a digital version of the movie, you can copy that to your PC and then put it on your Kindle.
I'm not sure what version of Kindle you have, but here is some help info from Amazon on transferring video files to a Kindle:

Here is a CNET article on how to make your video files compatible with Kindle: http://howto.cnet.com/2300-11310_39-10010515.html
I hope this helps.

Video Playback Android (Kindle Fire)

I have been trying for several days to get video playback working on my Kindle Fire. This is my first attempt at playing video on Android at all.
Upon buildling my .apk, my video file resides at assets/cinematics/intro.mp4. I would like to play this video full screen. What I would really like is a step by step how to guide of playing a video in this manner on Android.
Since Kindle Fire does not support StageVideo, I am trying to use flash.media.Video. The code for playing these videos seem pretty standard. However, I get absolutely no video playing at all.
Here is some version of my code although I have tried many variations:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
var client:Object = new Object();
client.onMetaData = function(metadata:Object):void {
trace(metadata.duration);
ns.client = client;
var v:Video = new Video();
v.attachNetStream(ns);
stage.addChild(v);
var videoPath:String = "assets/cinematics/intro.mp4";
var videoFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(videoPath);
ns.play(videoFile.url);
I am not 100% sure the url I am passing to ns.play() is correct. I have tried using also "file://" + vidoeFile.nativePath but with no luck.
I have read somewhere that setting "Use Network Service" to false could resolve this issue, but that did not work either.
I have tried copying the file to the File.applicationStorageDirectory and playing the video from there, but that did not seem to work either.
I am also not real sure how to debug this issue. What events should I be looking for? How can I get some sort of error message telling me what may be wrong?
Thanks for you help!

It seems that you may be clicking the "skype" symbol on the tablet, which will take you to the skype homepage.
Rather than doing that, go to the word "Apps" and touch that. You'll be taken to an app page where you can touch the "skype" app that is associated with your personal account.

How to put Blu Ray Dvds to Kindle Fire HD

I’d like to transfer my Blu Ray Dvds to my Kindle Fire HD. However, while I have had no problems
with the original disks, the files play fine on my device, but everything I converted has the same error message: “video cannot be played”. What is the problem?

First of all, check the transferred file location, you need put them to Gallery app directory and your tablet can find them and play well; and remember Android systems compatible Memory cards have a limit of 4GB per file because of the FAT32 file system, including Kindle Fire HD. 720p and 1080p movies today can be up to 10GB, and that's definitely will not transfer to the MircroSd card. So you need re-encode and downsize the file;
or if don’t wanna re-encode and lose video quality, use Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate to rip your disks again, but this time, use its Split feature. Don’t how-to?
Don’t worry, I find a guide page can help.

I have tried this way and it is really usefully.

Wireless Printing with Kindle Fire can't connect to HP1102w

Hi I can't connect mt Kindle Fire to my HP1102w through HPeprint

Hello DannyD219,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
It appears that you are unable to ePrint from the Kindle Fire to the LaserJet P1102w. I would like to offer a few suggestions that may help.
The P1102w is only compatible with ePrint after a firmware update, using a Windows computer and a USB cable, check for updates for the printer: HP LaserJet P1102w Firmware Update Utility.
Here is the guide for setting up an ePrint account: Getting Started with ePrint. (ignore steps 2 & 3, they are covered above)
For more or information on printing from a Kindle to the P1102w, view this: Printing from Kindle.
I hope this is a helping start.

Files and kindle fire

Hi,
I have some pdf files that I want to read from my kindle fire but the download is never successful. How do I sort this out?
Cheers,

The Kindle requires MP3 format.
If you have files in other formats, such as AAC, make MP3 versions per this guide:

Have a macbook pro running osx lion, connected a kindle fire using micro usb to transfer pictures and the disk icon won't show up on the desktop. When I ran disk utilities the kindle does show up there. Any thoughts as to why it's not recognizing?

Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much. An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

How can I install Flash Player on a Kindle Fire HD?

How can I install flash on a kindle fire hd?

Hi erica.laqua,
The latest Kindle Fire HD is not officially supported by Flash Player. Please see this page for a list of all certified devices:

That said, some users have been able to get Flash Player working on the Kindle Fire by using Dolphin, a third party browser.

How do I add a whitelist on AirPort Utility to connect a Kindle Fire?

All of a sudden my daughter's Kindle Fire says it has no wireless connection even though I have the name and password entered correctly. Is this some type of update on the Kindle side? The Kindle tells me (when I tap on the connected wifi name for my computer) signal strength is excellent, status is connected, shows my security with a WPA and additional codes. I have been reading that there is a whitelist I can add devices too but am so illiterate on my MAC that I cannot find it or where to go...my apologies. What do I/ should I do? I am confused as to why I see the Kindle and my computer are connected to wifi but then I receive an error message. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

There isn't a whitelist, per se, on the AirPort routers. Instead there is a means to prevent a wireless device from accessing the AirPort by its hardware MAC address. Unless you have enabled this feature, via the AirPort Utility, all wireless devices should be able to connect.
One area to look at as a possible cause, is the Network Name (aka SSID) that you are using for your AirPort's Wi-Fi network. If it contains special characters or spaces, you may want to consider changing it to something that has neither to see if this helps.

Can I use my Kindle Fire with iTunes?

Can I my Kindle Fire with iTunes?

Not if you mean using iTunes to sync your music to your Kindle, no. You'll need to use whatever procedure Amazon provides for transferring tracks from the iTunes folder your computer to the Kindle.

How can I print from my Kindle Fire HD?

How can I print from my Kindle Fire HD? I have an e-printer (HP Photosmart 7510 C3lla e-All-In- Onew series). I can print from my Apple I-Pad but cannot determine if/how I can print from the Kindle Fire HD.

Android devices do not support built in printing liek airprint on your apple device, so you will have to use the HP Eprint Home and Biz app in order to print from that device. It is available for free in the Amazon Market.

Why can't I install the flash player on my Kindle Fire???

I have tried several times to install the flash player on my Kindle Fire but it keeps telling me there is an issue opening the download. How am I able to download it yet am unable to install it. It makes no sense to me why it would be able to download yet not be able to open the installation. Is this a problem that is being fixed? I've tried to "troubleshoot" this issue myself but there is little information on it. If the Kindle Fire is unable to install the Adobe Flash player then there needs to be some changes made either on your companies part or Amazons. There are apps offered on the Kindles that need this flash player in order to operate. If you could back to me with an answer as soon as possible I would greatly aprreciate it. Thank you.

Hi,
Although we continue to provide security and patch releases for Android devices which originally shipped with Adobe Flash Player, new feature development for the Android browser has drawn to a close as we shift our focus to Adobe AIR for mobile applications. For more details on the rationale for our decision I refer you to the following article.
http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html
The following article describes how to manually install the Adobe Flash Player manually on your Android device.

Another alternative is to install the SkyFire browser, which appears to support Flash Video.

HT3642 Does anyone know of an app for the Kindle Fire that will allow me to access my movies from my iTune account?

I just purchased a Kindle Fire HD 8.9. I would like to be able to access my iTunes account to play my movies that I have purchased. Does anyone know if it is possible to do this and if so how? If not is there a way to download the movies to my computer so I could transfer them via USB?

Since the documents are on the server and not your work computer it doesn't matter that your work computer is off.
Usually computers on a work network are firewalled from the internet. Without knowing the details of your network it is impossible to know wether it is possible. Perhaps you should speak to the IT person at your work.
If it is possible you will probably need an app that can access the documents on the server using a compatible protocol. I am not aware of an app that handles standard Windows file sharing. Goodreader can do ftp and webDAV. You may require something like webDAV enabled on the server.
