Hi, I have downloaded a few movies from PPS apps and causing my ipad 2 memory running low, so thinking to copy those movies out from ipad 2 and save in my external hdd. But the problem is I can't find a good file manager that will allow me to access deep into the apps files, which all the movies are stored I think. My ipad 2 is running the latest ios 4.5, so jail breaking is impossible at the moment. Please help!!!!

without jailbreak, it is not possible.

BTW, what pps apps you are using to download? I didn't know can download the movie..all this while using streaming.

Just type PPS in the apps store and it will come out one app only for PPS, and select any movie and you can choose to watch, or download, but it eats up a lot of space, that's why i want to copy the file out from my ipad 2.

I use USB Sharp to manage my files.

This USB Sharp is just a normal file manager with very limited access, so it can't access to the file system.

you can try ifunbox. It is some sort of GUI for managing your idevices. It can browse the whole idevice file system. Not sure if you need to jailbreak in order to do that. You can give it a try.

Tried this before, but sorry to say it, it still need to jailbreak to be able to access to the system files

Yeah.. ifunbox if the faster way to copy out file from system but only for jailbreak ipad..

I am sorry but I can't find the place to download the whole movie/show in pps. Can you please show me where is the option? I can't read Chinese.

You try this and see if it works. It works for me with downloading files through Dolphin HD browser. Im pretty sure it will work for you too. Cos like you, I find iPad most annoying feature is the lack of a file manager for whatever reason Apple think its too DANGEROUS to have one.

Cut the crap... go and download this program for your windows pc... iBackUpBot for iTunes...

Next sync your iPad to your iTunes... kao tim...

Finally, run iBackUpBot for iTunes... it will show your iTunes backup. Explore that and it will be full of text. Just browse and search for one with a description related to PPS. Then to the window pane on your right, you will see a list of related files including those that you downloaded (Im assuming only cos that is how Dolphin HD works, for PPS, too slow to try over here.). Right click and check selected... then goto File>Export>Export only checked file(s)... Ta Da

Include a screenshot for your reference.


** p.s. Teh tarik on you if it works okay?

Hi, your method is worked, but too pity, the pps downloaded movie is under .pfv which until now no other media player able to play, you can only use PPS to playback the video.

i found it in PPTV apps. But don't see it in PPS.tv apps. What are the difference between the two apps? How come some shows, I can see in PPTV but can't find in PPS.tv?

Hi All the sifu out there

Can some one fell me how to play the downloaded .pfv file on pc ? I had tried using a number of media player but to no avail !

Thanks

Hi andrekua,

I did try your method, it does not work. Let say the movie is 300mb in my new ipad, when I open the ibackupbot to extract the file it only show like 77kb only. What wrong?? I'm using new ipad (5.1.1) and did not jailbreak. Any idea what the problem?
Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

you can use ifile to copy out the .pfv file to a download manager doc folder than after sync with itune. you can copy out the .pfv to laptop/pc. but the problem are even you do that it won't work after you put back the file into ppstv apps. I tried before and is just me.

Until now I couldn't find a mac or window version video player that can play the .pfv format. anyone have any info?

Hi OCMAX,

ifile for ipad which is jailbroken? I've not jailbreak my ipad yet. I can extract the pps.pfv file but in a strange file size. I encounter the same problem which the pfv file wont play in the ppstv in the window (maybe due to the file size??).

what I know is there are NO video player can play these pfv format yet. you can transfer the file without JB if you have macbook by using DiskAid. it is like a window explorer application.

btw! the video file size are around 4++ to 6++mb. not kb.
