How to convert DVD to Nexus 10 for watching DVD movies

Do you want to enjoy DVD movies on Nexus 10? In this article, you'll find how to convert your favorite DVD to Nexus 10 for playback.

DVD is a great way to watch movies on your HDTV at home. If you have a bunch of home videos stored on DVD or some commercial DVD movies, you must want to play it not only on your computer and DVD player, but your own Nexus 10 with a whopping 2560 x 1600 resolution – the same as the 13in MacBook Pro with Retina display.

Well, if you agree,let's take a look at how to watch DVD films on Nexus 10 tablet. Obviously, DVD discs can’t be played by tablets directly, even if the DVD backup ISO or IFO image files. In fact, as long as you pick up a DVD ripping program, you can easily make it. The most famous is Handbrake. Which is freeware.

But, according to my own experience, this one can’t rip copy-protected DVDs (ie: Disney and other animated discs). Handbrake actually convert MPEG video (including DVD-Video) into an MPEG-4 video file, but only limited to these DVD-like source: VIDEO_TS folder, DVD image or real DVD (CSS will not be supported and must be dealt with externally with third-party software and libraries. So you’ll need to add an intermediate step to get protected DVD movies onto Nexus 10.

If you have kinds of DVD movies for dealing with. I suggest you selecting a professional DVD ripping software. Pavtube DVDAid is highly recommended here. Fast conversion speed, perfect output video quality and optimized Nexus 10 profile is just the reason why it is recommended. (Learm 5 Tips when selecting Reliable DVD Ripper

Tip: You can adjust the output parameters of the video by click "Settings" button. For watching videos on the Android-based Tablet, 720p with 1500~2000kbps is just all right. I find that bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss.
