Nowadays, many Blu-ray and DVD discs you purchased come with an additional Disc – Digital Copy, which provides you with a digital version of the movie. Your disc provides you with the highest quality home entertainment experience available today and your Digital Copy gives you the flexibility to watch your movie anytime, anywhere. Sounds great, doesn't it? Well… no. From the above question, you will find Digital Copy playback issue with Android Device (Xperia Z4, Kindle Fire HDX, Kindle Fire HD, Nexus 9, Nexus 6, Galaxy Tab S, Galaxy S6/S6 Edge, HTC One M9) is a blue moon.
This is simply the movie industry's latest attempt to sugar coat Digital Rights Management(DRM). The Digital Copy, however, will not play on unauthorized devices due to DRM copy protection. Unfortunately the Android devices have not get a license to play DRM contents, which means Digital Copy movies will not even play on an Android tablet or smartphone. To solve this problem, you need to trip DRM from Digital Copies and then convert Digital Copy to Android supported video formats (MP4 with H.264 video codec is highly recommended).
To get the work done, a DRM removal video converter is needed.

Simple Guide: Converting & Transfer Digital Copies to Android tablet/phone
Before conversion you need first to transfer Digital Copy to computer (Refer to a detailed guide here) in Windows Media (.wmv) or iTunes video format (.m4v). And here we go with the DRM removal process.

The DJI Phantom 3 professional captured 4K video in MP4 or MOV(MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) format, which is not a native editing codec for DaVinci Resolve.

Step 3: Click "Settings" button to customize the output video and audio settings by yourself.
