Home“I have bought a Google Nexus 10 as my first tablet and I have some questions I was hoping you could answer. I'm a student and will be using the tablet mostly for watching films, opening my lecture PDF, browsing the internet and playing a couple of games. I have a number of ISO files saved on my external hard drive. They were created from my purchased DVD movies, and some are copied from my classmates. It seems that Google’s 10-inch tablet is unable to open these ISO image files. My questions are: 1) is there a Mac app to rip my ISO to a format that can be played on my Nexus 10? I am working with a MacBook Pro running on Mountain Lion 10.8. 2) If there is, what are the best format and settings I should use to expect a better performance when transferring to my Nexus 10 for viewing? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.”
This should be a typical question asked by a Google Nexus 10 user. Like most tablet PCs in the market, Google Nexus 10 supports playback a certain range of media files. The details:
Google Nexus 10 supported Video and Audio codecs:
