2. Microsoft unveiled its new game console Xbox One S on August 2, 2016. The
Xbox One S has many improvements over its predecessor the Xbox One. The
new Xbox console can upscale games to 4K, and supports 4K Ultra HD Blu-
ray and HDR, which means the Xbox One S is not only a game console, but a
4K Blu-ray Player. Integrated with a Blu-ray drive, the Xbox One S can accept
Blu-ray disc and DVD disc. In other words, the Xbox One S can play DVD disc
natively. Here in this post, I am going to share with you how to play DVD on
Xbox One S.

Xbox One S
There are three editions of Xbox One S: 500GB Xbox One S, 1TB Xbox One S, and 2TB Xbox One S. The
2TB edition is already available for purchasing on the market while the other two editions will not be
available until September 22, 2016. The prices in US for these three editions are $299, $349, and $399
respectively, but in UK and other European nations, the prices are £249/299 Euros, £299/349 Euros, and
£349/399 Euros respectively.
Like I said in the very beginning, the Xbox One S is designed with a Blu-ray drive. Therefore it can read
Blu-ray disc and DVD disc as long as those discs is not under copy right protection. Before we play
DVD disc on the Xbox One S, we need to figure out whether or not the disc is under protection such as
region code, Disney copy protection, CSS encryption, Sony ArccOS protection and so on. If yes, we
need to get rid of the protection first, and then we can start to play DVD on Xbox One S. If no, we can
directly insert DVD disc into the BD rive of the Xbox console for unlimited DVD playback.

can directly insert DVD disc into the Blu-ray drive of Xbox One S without
converting DVD to Xbox One S compatible video. However, please keep in
mind that when you insert a disc for the first time, you’ll be prompted to
install a Blu-ray and DVD player app. There are altogether three methods

If your DVD disc is under protection like Disney copy protection, CSS
encryption, Sony ArccOS protection and so on, you need to remove the
protection by converting DVD to Xbox One S compatible video with a
professional DVD to Xbox One S converter. As the Xbox One S supports 4K
video, you can convert DVD to 4K MP4 or 4K MKV (both MP4 and MKV are
supported by the Xbox One S) with the help of Leawo DVD Ripper. If you are
using a Mac, please turn to its Mac counterpart Leawo DVD Ripper for Mac.
