More than just a centralized hub for video conferencing and presentations, with the Surface Hub, users can also put some video, movie files to it for playback on the free time. This article aims to give you some tips for playing DVD on Surface Hub Windows 10 tablet.

To play these DVD on Windows 10 Surface Hub tablet or stream to big screen TV, you need choose an up-to-date DVD Ripping program for Surface Hub. Most of you are likely familiar with the excellent Handbrake for ripping standard DVDs, but keep in mind that that program can’t rip copy-protected DVDs without a third-party add-on, and it doesn’t have Microsoft Surface tablet specific profiles. Here I highly recommend Brorsoft DVD Ripper(or the Mac version).

Basically, the software can help you rip DVD(ISO, VIDEO_TS) to Surface Hub highly supported MP4 video files with high output video quality and fast ripping speed. Besides, you are allowed to edit the DVD movies by trimming, cropping, adjusting video effects, etc. to get the very wanted part and effects as you like. Moreover, this DVD converter can also help you convert DVD to all other popular video formats like AVI, MOV, MKV, WMV, FLV, MPG, etc. for playing and sharing on iPhone, iPad, Galaxy S6, Apple TV, Nexus 7, YouTube etc. bypassing the DVD copy protection.
