Transfering DVDs to an iPad

**CLeonard** · 06-01-2012, 11:12 AM

Hey Folks,

My Mom has been admitted to a hospital for an extended stay. I picked up an iPad for her to alleviate the boredom. So here's the question. Is there a way to transfer DVDs to the device? Movies we own, college lecture courses, etc. I've heard that you can convert the files into MP4 files and transmit them. Is this the way to go forward or is there another way?

Thanks!

If you own a Mac you can use a program called Handbrake. That's what I use. Works fine.

Handbrake looks like it will work. I don't own a mac, but my brother does. I'll give this a try and report back. Thanks for the suggestion!

I search some software and iPad apps for DVD-to-iPad conversions; DVD converter is an app which is available in app store or goes to convertdvdtoipad.com where you can find free software for both windows and Mac versions.
