How to Convert and Play DVD movies on Samsung Galaxy S4


    The Galaxy S4 handset steadily draws from the same design language as the S3, but takes almost every spec to an extreme -- the screen is larger (5 inches), the resolution greater (1080p), the battery capacity higher (2,600mAh), the processor faster (1.9GHz quad-core or 1.6GHz octa-core), and the rear-facing camera stuffed with more megapixels (13, to be exact). The Galaxy S 4's 5-inch 1080p HD screen definitely bring you an extraordinary movie watching experience. If you have some DVD movie collections and want to watch the DVD movies on Galaxy S4, you may have to convert the DVD movies to Galaxy S4 supported H.264 or MPEG4 first.
