How to rip your purchased DVD movies to Surface 8.1 Tablets in clicks

Pavtube DVDAid will detect and list the main title (the full length of this movie with all the chapters) and check it by default. So just keep it untouched and let’s move on to Step 2.
Step 2. Choose export format
You can click the dropdown menu between “Format” and “Settings”, you will see many presets sorted of different device models and programs.
Here “Windows -> Microsoft Surface Windows RT/Pro H.264 Video (*.mp4)” is a suitable format for Surface 8.1 tablets. Or if you have other Windows 8.1 tablets, you can choose a suitable video format from“Windows” catalogue depending on your device.
Step 3. Adjust specs or edit video before conversion (Optional)
Click “Settings” button to configure target file quality. After entering “Profile Settings” panel, you are allowed to adjust video and audio parameters such as bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc..
If you think the video size this not suitable for your Surface 8.1 Tablet, you can first choose any one of the provided type, then change the settings. Generally speaking, the higher video bit rate will result in the larger output file size, and vice versa.
Step 4. Start conversion
Now hit the big red “Convert” to start converting purchased DVD movies to MP4 with best settings for playback on different Surface 8.1 tablets.
After the conversion, you can get the converted DVD rips in *.mp4 format by clicking the “Open” or “Open output folder” icon.
Transfer videos, music, photos from PC to Surface 2 on Windows 8.1/8
Additional Tips
1. Not a Surface 8.1 user? It doesn’t matter, Pavtube DVDAid also supports “common” video formats like MOV, M4V, MP4 and has presets for all the models of iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Apple TV, or Samsung Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Note, Xperia Series, BlackBerry, etc., so you should be able to create files compatible with your Android based devices and other Windows devices.

3. If you want to convert all kinds of videos (including MKV, AVI, Tivo, VOB, FLV, MPG, DVD, Blu-ray, ISO, IFO, etc.), a software can be completely solved, it is Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate.
