How to get all AVI files and Surface RT to play nicely

Having problems when playing AVI files on Surface RT? Just follow this tutorial to convert AVI to MP4 for the Windows 8/8.1 RT tablet.



This Microsoft Surface RT tablet has 10.6-inch ClearType HD display, a larger solid-state hard drive, and has a 1366×768 higher resolution. Its large screen is really ideal for movie and TV shows watching on your trip. However, currently the Surface RT supports very limited formats. Though AVI is a format that Surface claimed to support, users have reported AVI playback issues with Surface RT Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

If you also find some AVIs not playing well on the Windows RT tablet, EaseFab Video Converter will help you out, since it converts AVI to Surface RT highly compatible MP4 format while downsizing the videos to make room for other media and apps.

How to convert AVI to MP4 for playback on Surface RT

Step 1: Add AVI videos You can directly drag and drop the videos on your hard drive to the app. This Microsoft Surface Video Converter supports batch conversion, so you can add several files at one time. It saves your time and energy.



Step 2. Select an output format for Surface tablet. As it has been mentioned above, Surface tablet well supports MP4. Here just click Profile and choose MP4 from Common Video (MP4-HD is available under HD Video).



Tips: If you want, you can then click "Settings" to adjust the video parameters manually.

Step 3. After above settings, you can start the AVI to Surface MP4 conversion. Once the process completes, locate the files and transfer and copy the converted MP4 videos to your Surface RT tablet. As you see, now you can effortlessly watch AVI films on Microsoft Surface RT.
