DVD to iPad 3

Does DVD Catalyst 4 or AnyDVD HD directly convert Bluray movies?

OP made the query about the 4.5 Gb DVD and accordingly it will take 10 hours conversion. So assuming that it is a DVD with that size how long do you think for DVD Catalyst 4 to do the conversion using your system?

I don't know about Catalyst as I don't use it, but Handbrake and AnyDVD HD definitely will. These are the tooks I use all the time...and it takes no where near 10 hours. And that's for Blu-ray. DVD would be a fraction of the time because it is so low resoluton. Heck, DVD isn't even HD. Are people still buying DVDs?

I also don't have Catalyst and also AnyDVD HD. What I have is Freemake and MakeMKV. I agree with your observation that if its bluray it takes hours to do the conversion but if it's DVD it only takes minutes to do it.

Usually well less than two hours. I guess the value of this depends on why you are doing it. If the iPad is your only means of watching an blu-ray, then that just sucks. But if you are planing to use them while on travel, then I just do the transcoding well ahead of time. I rarely watch a movie for the first time on my iPad, because if it is a good movie I want to see it on my large screen, not on a tiny iPad screen. The films I buy on Blu-ray are usually the ones I want to watch again one day, and so I rip my library and watch those when I am on travel. Rarely is that the first time I've seen it. That's how I roll with movies. If I expect to enjoy it, I'm not watching it on some tiny 10-inch screen, no matter what resolution it has.

Definitely not looking at a movie on a small screen for the first time. An exception is when you're traveling and looking at a 12 volume series bluray documentary movies.

I have tried lots of DVD converters also, from xilisoft, leawo, aiseesoft to pavtube, I found this DVD to iPad converter is the only one that performs as it advertised:"6X faster speed". It does save me much time.
