Transfer DVD ISO/IFO to Microsoft Surface RT & Pro

From the Apple iPad to the Google Nexus 10, there are plenty of great choices on the tablet market today. How about the Microsoft Surface? Should you get the Surface RT or wait for the Surface Pro? If you need a device for multimedia consumption and entertainment and only have occasionally use for typing and light productivity, the Microsoft Surface RT model will probably fit the bill. If you plan to no longer use your laptop for business and productivity purposes, the Surface Pro model is the only choice, as the Surface Pro has the full version of Windows 8. As for movie watching, the Surface RT has a 10.6-inch display with a 1366×768 resolution, 32GB (base model) storage, and the Surface Pro has a better 1920 x 1080 display, 64GB and higher storage options, both are suitable for viewing videos on the go. However, not all video types are playable on the two Microsoft-made tablets. For example, if you are trying to transfer unprotected DVD ISO/IFO files to Microsoft Surface RT & Pro for playback, you will have no success. This is totally because of the format restriction issues. To resolve it, you can consider ripping and converting DVD ISO/IFO files to Surface RT & Pro viewable file format in advance.
