[SERIOUS]How do I make an AV to Bluetooth adapter?[/SERIOUS]

[moonman239]

I want to know how to make an adapter that I can plug into an AV-compatible device such as a VCR or DVD player and transmit that via Bluetooth to a netbook or iPad. The receiving device would have a program capable of reading that signal.

Thanks!

That wont be so easy. AV plugs use and expect streams of analog data, what you have on a USB is static binary data. The device you propose will need to read the data from the USB, understand/decode and interpret it, and play it (convert it to analog signals).

Plus that even if you'd manage to convert it to digital, you'd still be buffering for hours as bluetooth bandwith is only 2.1Mbps at close range.
You'd be better off settling for WIFI.

But I'd be impressed already if you'd be able to convert it to digital and parse it.

I want Bluetooth because I want the user to be able to use it anywhere.

Well I want the Moon on a stick, but that's not happening either.

WIFI tethering.

WIFI tethering.

There's a reason I was trying to avoid that, and that was that I don't want the user's WiFi connection to be connected to a non-Internet-capable Wifi router when he enters an area with Internet hotspots. But, seeing as that's the only thing I can do, I might as well just do that.
