Windows RT is clearly inspired by the iPad and it’s no coincidence that its restrictions mirror Apple’s. Windows RT will be available on tablets starting with Microsoft's own Windows RT Surface and covering over majority PC brands. We’ll have ASUS Vivo Tab, Vivo Tab RT, Samsung ATIV Tab, Series 5, Series 7, Dell Latitude 10, Lenovo ThinkPad 2 and even more Window 8 RT tablets in the upcoming months.

The Windows Surface RT tablet is reported to be able to play HD video continuously for about 8 to 13 hours at screen brightnesses of 200 nits. However, Windows RT does not include Windows Media Player. And many popular video formats are not supported by the Windows RT player. For better enjoying movies and footage on Windows RT tablet, it’s necessary to get some additional video processing tools like this one –Video DVD Converter, which converts all kinds of videos into Window RT tablet supported media. You can drag MKV, AVI, MTS, M2TS, TiVo, MPG, WMV, MOV, VOB, TS, DVR and many other videos to the software and easily convert them to desired format.
