Why Vudu movies don’t play on my Surface RT tablet?

Want to play Vudu movies on Surface RT tablet while in the car? The short guide shows you the basic steps on processing conversion between Vudu movies and Surface RT tablet. 

Question 1: Can I watch movies using Vudu? 

“Is the Microsoft surface RT compatible with Vudu? Can movies be streamed or downloaded?” 

Question 2: Vudu movies don’t play on my Surface RT tablet? 

“I found one thing that was a disappointment…my Vudu movies do not play on the Surface RT since flash is not ported to the device. Just damn.” 

VUDUoffers the world’s largest selection of HD movies, including thousands of blockbusters, Hollywood classics, and indies available in stunning HDX 1080p with Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surround sound. Movies are available the same day they are released on DVD or Blu-ray, and can be rented or purchased without a subscription. VUDU is available on select internet-capable HDTVs and Blu-ray Disc players, on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system from Sony, and streaming instantly from your browser on VUDU – Rent, buy & watch HD movies and TV shows on-demand. 

Without a doubt, Vudu files are the same with iTunes, Digital Copy or amazon instant videos that protected by DRM. Vudu files can’t be played directly by Microsoft Surface RT tablet. If you intend to extend the flexibility to watch your VUDU movies anytime, anywhere, a DRM removal tool is necessary – cracking the DRM system and converting the Vudu movie to MP4 files that are naturally supported by any Windows 8.1/8 RT/Pro tablet/smartphone.
