This guide will show you the steps to rip and convert Blu-ray to Microsoft Surface videos so that you can play your favourite 1080p Blu-ray movies on Surface Windows RT and Surface Windows 8 Pro Tablet on the go.

Separately powered with Intel and ARM chip, Microsoft Surface Tablets are born with so many expectations. Featured a 10.6-inch, 16:9 widescreen ClearType HD Display, both Windows RT and Windows 8 Pro are ideal for movie and TV show watching. However, Surface still not comes with BD-ROM the same as other Tablets. So if you want to play your favorite 1080p Blu-ray movies on Surface RT or Pro, you'll need to convert Blu-ray to Microsoft Surface supported video formats first and then transfer them to your Tablet for playback.

To achieve your goal smoothly, below is a great tutorial for you, which mainly tells you how to rip and copy Blu-ray movies to your Surface tablet easily and fast. Just follow it.

Free Download the App:

The program is an easy-to-use and wonderful Blu-ray and DVD ripping tool to help you convert both homemade and commercial Blu-ray yet DVD movies to Microsoft Surface MP4 videos for unlimited playback. Besides, it can also rip Blu-ray to all other popular video formats like AVI, MOV, MKV, WMV, FLV, MPG, etc. for playing and sharing on iPhone, iPad, Archos, Zen, Blackberry, Samsung, Asus, etc. I've had success using the program to convert Blu-Ray and DVD discs to a format playable by my RT based Surface tablet. I've found the quality to be excellent, and see no difference when compared to playing the discs themselves. The audio/video synchronization is very good, the size of the subtitles too. Just download the right version and follow the below guide to transfer and play 1080p Blu-ray movies onto Microsoft Surface Windows RT or Windows 8 Pro for smoothly playback.
