Movies on an iPad....

[kpowell911]

Hi, Im trying to put a few movies of my iPad 2 (only 16gb so its only a few!).

Now The films I've put on so far have been easy, Blu Ray Digital Copies (Transformers 3, Thor, Xmen 1st Class, Inbetweeners and Captain America)

However, I have some films that are on Blu Ray (none triple play) I want to put on my iPad, and one is a downloaded film (naughty)

Anyway of putting them on Via iTunes?

Thanks

Not directly. There's a few apps that convert on the fly.

Aceplayer is free, and a very good AV player.

AVPlayerHD is also good, but costs money.

Does anyone know, if you get one of those sd card reader adapters for the iPad, can you drag films over that way?

Technically, yes, but it would need to be in the right format, it likes .mov, I know that as I transferred some from my canon over.

The best app I have which plays pretty much everything I throw at it is cinexplayer, costs a couple of quid I think but well worth it. Just access the app in iTunes and add video files to it. I wouldn't bother with taking copies from the blurays, I'd just acquire the avi version ( you already won't he original you say so......) and transfer that over, no need to have anything over normal quality on the iPads screen really, no massive need to go 720p, especially as you only have a 16gb where space is limited.

I convert all my DVD ripped films using Handbrake, then put them into iTunes and (stream) onto iPad / Apple TV

I use RipIt to rip the DVDs then Handbrake to convert into Apple TV 2 format. Works well on iPhone 4, iPad 2 and the tv.

If you download the odd movie or several dozen, use Vuze. Its bittorent software and conversion software in one, and its free. Transcoded loads through Vuze and all work perfectly on my Ipad

or use a proper download method, not convert it and put it straight into cinexplayer of av player HD....

personally i have both and prefer cinexplayer, i like the gui better, but both do the same things.
