As a way to enjoy DVD movies on the go, in many cases, I try to import DVDs to my smartphone. However, if you have a tablet with a larger screen, playing DVD videos on it will give you a better viewing experience. So how to play DVDs on an Android tablet?
To play a DVD on an Android tablet, you need to first convert the DVD to a video file that can be imported to the tablet. Different DVD types require different tools for this process. There is much free software available to convert unprotected DVDs, such as homemade DVDs, to videos that can be imported to Android tablets. To play rental/commercial DVDs on Android tablets, you must use paid software that supports copy protection.
So, this time I want to introduce how to convert DVDs to video files for playback on an Android tablet. Read on if needed.
How to Play DVDs on Android Tablet?
To remove copy protection and convert commercial/rental DVDs to video files playable on Android tablets, here we recommend a powerful DVD converting software named WonderFox DVD Ripper Pro. Using this software, various copy protections such as CSS, multi-angle, and Cinavia Protection will be automatically removed when reading data from a DVD disc, which is very convenient. Also, if there are a large number of titles, such as Disney DVD, the software can automatically select the main DVD movie from them. In addition to supporting MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, and other video formats as output formats, we also have presets for Android tablets, so I am worried that DVD videos cannot be played on Android tablets due to incompatibility. In addition to DVD discs, it can also convert ISO images or DVD folders into video files that can be played on Android tablets.
