Wireless Reading Devices

The iPad is a great new device and Apple have yet again outdone themselves. By now, you are probably wondering how to  convert DVD video to view on your iPad? Well this how to guide will show you exactly how you can do that.

To get started, you need to convert the DVD into a format that works with the iPad, which is MP4 (mpeg 4) or H.264 video. Don’t worry too much about the technical details, because the software will do pretty much all of the work.

To have the DVD converted and get it onto your iPad, you will need a DVD to iPad converter and iTunes. An assumption will be made that you already have iTunes installed, because you are using an iPad already. Step one of the process is performing the conversion, but then we need to get the file into iTunes, so that it can be transferred to your iPad for later viewing.

Let’s get started with the DVD to iPad conversion.

1. You have downloaded and installed DVD to iPad converter from the link above. Note: there are other nice converters, but the Cucusoft is our favorite.
2. Insert the DVD you want converted (you can also convert almost any video type with this converter)
3. Open the DVD via Dvd to iPad converter, and choose open DVD, or you can manually select a vob file yourself
4. Choose the title you wisth to convert, the largest file size and duration will be the movie
5. Set any optional preferences, we recommend defaults for starters
6. Click convert

Now that is pretty easy, and it doesn’t take long to get video onto your iPad. Depending on computer specs and the size of the video, it could take a little time to finish.

Let’s get the converted video onto your iPad using iTunes.

1. Fire up iTunes
2. Keep the “Manually manage music and videos” unchecked
3. From the File menu, select “Add File to Library”
4. Choose the file you just converted
5. Under “Movies”, you will be able to right click on the file and select “Get info”, now you can select the “Video Kind”. This should put it in the related playlist.
6. From the File menu, select “Sync iPad”
7. The video should now be available on your iPad

You can now watch your favorite video, anytime from your iPad. You can find out more about DVD to iPad converters here, as well as other conversion techniques.
