Barnes & Noble has unveiled its 7-inch Nook HD and 9-inch Nook HD+ to take the fight to the lower end of the tablet market. The Nook HD features a 1.3GHz dual-core processor, 7-inch 1440 x 900 display and expandable storage via microSD slot. The Nook HD+ comes with a 9-inch screen and boasts a Full HD display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor and expandable memory through microSD slot. When it comes to media offerings, the Nook HD/HD+ is not on the level as the Kindle Fire or iPad. It does offer movies and TV shows, but currently its offerings are disappointing, as the movies and TV shows you’d most like to see just aren’t here, such as many of the latest and greatest ones. How about backing up some of your already-have movies onto Nook HD/HD+ for playback on the go? It seems a good idea to make use of your on-hand movie sources. But due to copy protections as well as format restriction issues, not all kinds of video files are compatible with Nook HD and Nook HD+. In that case, you need to convert the unsupported files to a format that is playable with your device. The following guide aims to tell how to transcode 1080p MKV/AVI/VOB/TiVo/MOV, Blu-ray, DVD movies to Nook HD/HD+ in detailed steps.
