Surface video formats and how to transfer files to Surface

To be honest, Android tablets and iPad is the mainstream of the tablet market. Few people select Windows tablet, maybe the price of Windows tablets are too high. Or people have accustomed to the user interface of android or iOS. Since it was released, Surface sales is not satisfactory. In my opinion, it’s a Office Tablet more than a personal entainment product. Anyway, everyone has their own needs. 

Maybe you are just a Surface user, it is very natural to transfer files from PC to Surface, and vice versa. However, some people have issues when they transfer files to Surface RT tablet. Just like this: 

I’m trying to convert an MKV file to MP4 for playing on Windows RT tablet. The output MP4 file is not corrupted and saved on a local and external disk, but always with the same result: fail to transfer to my tablet. I need help urgently please. 

If you also have such issues, this article must be useful for you. Actually, there are two easy methods to add music, pictures, and videos to your Surface, you can pick using one of the following methods: 

- Use a USB flash drive or a memory card — microSD, microSDHC, or micro SDXC cards all work with Surface. 
- Connect to a networked computer 

Solution One: Use a USB flash drive or memory card to transfer videos to Surface RT 

Surface with Windows RT includes a full-size USB 2.0 port. You can also transfer files to Surface, by copying them to a USB flash drive or memory card (microSD, microSDHC, or micro SDXC cards all work with Surface) and then adding the files to Surface. 

Step 1. Copy files onto a USB flash drive or memory card on your other computer. 

Step 2. Insert the USB flash drive or memory card into Surface. 

Step 3. Tap or click the notification that appears in the upper-right corner of the screen. 

 
Step 4. Tap or click Open folder to view files. File Explorer opens. 

 

Step 5. Select the files or folders you want to add to Surface, tap or click Home, and then tap or click Copy to

Step 6. Select a location. For example, choose Documents if the flash drive or memory card contains documents. 

Solution two: Access/Download videos from home network to Surface RT 

Microsoft bundles Office 2013 Home & Student Edition with your purchase of the Surface RT. This means you can access all files in your Homegroup, access shared folders from other computers on your network, and even map network drives which will automatically reconnect upon restarting the machine. As you can see from the screenshot below, Windows RT is functional well beyond the Start screen tiles and “Don’t call it Metro” interface. 

 

Surface can access music, pictures, videos, and documents on computers that are part of your home network. To see the files and folders that have been shared on your network, go to theStart screen and open File Explorer. Shared items appear under HomeGroup or Network

When you transfer video files to Surface for playback, you should make sure the video files are compatibled well with Surface. Thus, just let’s have a look at the video formats supported by Surface. 

 

As you see, MKV, MPG, VOB, TiVo, MTS formats are not supported by Windows tab. You can’t play such 1080p videos on Surface unless they are encoded into Surface 3/Surface Pro 3/Surface 2/Surface Pro 2/Surface RT/Surface Pro supported formats

Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate/[b]iMedia Converter for Mac [/b]has Surface oriented presets that supports converting and compressing 1080p MKV, MPG, VOB, TiVo, MTS to MP4 or AVI so that you cantransfer and play any videos on the Microsoft Surface and all the other Windows slabs.

5.Create your media library by clicking on the Add Section button. Plex will ask you what you’re trying to add – movies, TV shows, music, photos or home movies. It’s ok if you have multiple types of media in a given folder, but it’s pretty easy to use Windows’ standard conventions for storing things (the prebuilt Videos, Pictures, and Music folders that likely already exist on PC). 

 

Once you’ve selected what you want to add, give the section a name (like “Movies”) and click the Add Folder button to do just that. While Plex scans your media, you can add more folders if you so desire. Once you’re all done, click the big orange Next button to go on.

7. You can edit Plex’s default settings by clicking on the wrench and screwdriver icon in the window’s upper-right. By default, you shouldn’t have to play with anything, but you’ll be able to use the Settings menu’s myPlex section to see whether your computer can be found from outside your internal network (in other words, is your port forwarding working). 

 

Finally, under the Plex/Web section (on the top), you can use the Player section on the sidebar to set the quality of your local and remote streams. If your network can support it, go big! 
Here a Support – Basic Setup from Plex will be helpful to you, too. 

Then you can watch DVD movies via Plex on computer or you also can grab the Plex apps for iOS or Android to watch your desktop-based media from your tablets or smart phones.

  • Microsoft Surface Book Vs. MacBook Pro: Which One Deserves Your Dollars?




    Microsoft surprised us with the Surface Book, a hybrid ultraportable laptop that will directly compete with the 13-inch Retina Apple MacBook Pro. Surface Book and MacBook Pro, which one after all deserves your dollars? Before the decision, you should read the head-to-head comparison of the MacBook Pro to the the Surface Book. 

     

     

    Specs 

    The MacBook Pro and the Surface Book have very similar size and weight specs. The MacBook Pro’s display is 13.3 inches, while the Surface Book’s is 13.5 inches, the MacBook Pro is 3.48 lbs while the Surface Book is 3.34 lbs with its keyboard. The battery life in both brands is the same: 12 hours. Pretty comparable numbers. You get the picture. 

    GPU 

    Stepping up to the GPU-equipped model costs $1,899, minimum. Microsoft is charging $200 for the discrete graphics solution, and $200 more if you want a Core i7 vs. a Core i5. We don’t know anything about the GPU, save that it ships with 1GB of dedicated GDDR5. That’s not much RAM even Nvidia’s lower-end mobile solutions, like the GTX 950M, typically pack at least 2GB. There are two possibilities here: Either Microsoft loaded the system with a low-end GPU that both it and Nvidia have refused to disclose because they don’t want to lose the hype around the idea of an ultrabook system offering any discrete cards at all, or Nvidia removed VRAM from a SKU that typically carries more in order to hit Microsoft’s preferred power target. NV is claiming that this chip is a “custom” design, but that doesn’t really mean much a standard GPU + smaller VRAM loadout still qualifies as custom, even if it’s based on Maxwell. 

    Battery Life 

    In terms of battery life, Microsoft claims 12 hours of video playback for the Surface Book, while the MacBook Pro 13-inch lasted 11 hours and 10 minutes on our battery test. 

    Design 

    The big difference, though, is in the basic hardware design. The MacBook Pro has a silver aluminum unibody design that’s been copied so many times, it’s basically what we’ve come to imagine a laptop should look likeand how it should work. 

    The Surface Book, on the other hand, is a radically new concept for a laptop, owing to a clever new hinge that lets you adjust the display bend however you see fit. You can use it like a regular laptop, or remove the screen from the keyboard base and use it like a tablet. The Surface Book design is conceptually cool and has potential, but this design may have some stability issues. 

    All things considered, which one do you think deserves your money? The differences between Windows and OS X may be the deciding factor for many, but the Surface Book is off to a good start. We’ll just have to see how the machine feels and performs when we’re able to test the hardware ourselves.

    2016 Best 3 DVD Ripping Software-2D 3D Movie Tips




    DVD playback will never be limited in DVD Drive and professional DVD Player. There are many people watching their DVD movies on TV, PC, Tablet, iPad in Home Theater via NASPersonal Cloud Storage,Chromecast. Rich media playback solutions riches the media life. However, only if you want to separate your DVD playback from DVD drive/player, you need to rip DVD to digital video format. And the work is based onDVD Ripper 

     

    However, there are plenty of great utilities designed to rip DVD discs and and give you popular video that are playable on any device you choose, whenever you choose to watch them. Too many choices makes no choice. Many people just get a headache when they need to select only one in hundreds. Here are three of the best 2016, based on thousands consumers’ nominations. 

    2016 Best DVD ripper #1: Handbrake 

    OS Platform: Windows & Mac & Linux 

     

    Key features: Handbrake is our favorite video encoder for a reason: it’s simple, easy to use, easy to install, and offers a wealth of tweaking options to get the best possible file as a result. If you’re daunted by them, you don’t even have to use them—the app will compensate for you and pick some settings it thinks you’ll like based on your destination device. So many of you like Handbrake that many of you use it in conjunction with another app (like VLC, which makes ripping easy)—you’ll let another app do the rip and crack the DRM on your discs, and then process the file through Handbrake for encoding. 

    Pros: The app is fast, can make the most of multi-core processors to speed up the process, and is completely open source. Best of all, it’s completely free. 

    Cons: Only outputs MP4, MKV formats. Only can rip unencrypted DVD. Handbrake isn't updated often. Its presets are often out of date. 

    Editor’s note: Since it is free, I think I will choose it first if I need a DVD Ripper. After all, MP4 is enough for nearly all devices and media players

    2016 Best DVD ripper #2: Pavtube ByteCopy 

    OS Platform: Windows & Mac 

     

    Key features: Pavtube ByteCopy is your best DVD copying and backing up tool which can rip and backup DVD in any copy protection like Sony, Disney and region codes. It can convert DVD to any other formats like H.265, M3U8, MP4, MOV , M4V, AVI, WMV, MPG, MKV, etc or MP4/MOV with multi-track audios for playback on iOS/Android/Windows Tablets/Phones, HD Media Players (WDTV), editing software (Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere, etc.), and more. 

    And other than that, Pavtube ByteCopy is also able to encode DVDs to MKV container format with preserving chapter markers, multiple audio tracks and subtitles and make it possible for you to easily select your needed tracks, subtitles when watching DVD movies with your media players. creating 3D video is supported by ByteCopy. What’s more, it also can rip and copy Blu-ray. 

    Pros: A top Multi-track Blu-ray/DVD Converter to all of you with excellent ability to pick up multi-track for playing BD/DVD movies on Media Players and portable device. It also can extract subtitle/audio from Blu-ray/DVD. 

    Cons: It is a paid one. If you want to use its free trial version, you have to bear the watermark in the middle of the video. 

    Editor’s note: If I need a more powerful DVD Ripper, Pavtube ByteCopy is no doubt the best choice. But if I only need to rip DVD to MP4 and my DVD has no encryption, I will definitely select Handbrake. 

    2016 Best DVD ripper #3: MakeMKV 

    OS Platform: Windows & Mac & Linux 

     

    Key features: We’ve praised MakeMKV before for its ability to quickly and easily rip DVDs to high quality MKV files with a single click. The app has been in beta for a long time (years, in fact), which is just as well, since the developers promise to start charging for Blu-ray ripping once the app leaves beta. The app’s strong suits are that it’s fast, super easy, and cross-platform. 

    Pros: The app preserves all of the source disc’s information, including tracks, chapters, HD audio, menus, and so on. The app is completely free. 

    Cons: Only MKV output. 

    Editor’s note: I found little software will keep multiple audio and subtitle tracks when ripping BD/DVD discs. But MakeMKV and Pavtube ByteCopy must be in the list. 

    At the end of the day, DVD rippers are applications that set your movies from discs and allow you to have digital copies of the content that you’ve paid for. And please keep in mind, only personal usage of the DVD rips is legal.
