I have some exercise DVDs I own & use regularly by playing them in my Apple laptop. I would really like to get them onto my iPad. This would allow me to just prop up my iPad and exercise along with the program without hauling along the laptop and all the discs.

How would I get these DVDs onto my Ipad?

Thanks for much for your help.

You can use dvdfab hd decryptor to rip the dvd's to you mac and then use handbrake to compress/convert for ipad.
DVDFab HD Decrypter. Free to Decrypt DVD and Blu-ray, free to Copy DVD and Blu-ray.

Just not sure if they have mac versions of the program as I am on windows.

Personally, the quick free easy method i use is to rip the dvd to my hard drive first using DVD SHRINK , then convert to ipad format, via about 2 buttons, using HAND BRAKE.

Those are all good but do require a little effort. I have all of them but I chose to buy Pocket DVD (PQ DVD). It's not free but works every time and is easy to self learn with no fuss. It even works on "locked" DVDs. And will send directly to the iTunes video section for syncing. I first used them for their DVD-to-Palm Treo software. So they have been around for awhile.

The link I posted is free. Dvd shrink wont bypass current encryption methods on the dvd.

i'm yet to have any issues.

you have to rip and convert these dvds for your iPad, you may try Foxreal DVD Ripper for mac, this tool supplys iPad presets to make the operation much easier.

Besides converting DVD for playback on media players, you can also transcode DVD movie to ProRes 422, ProRes 4444, Avid DNxHD, HDV, DVCPRO HD, Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) or other editable formats for use in Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, iMovie, Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects or other editing software.

just try it!!!

They don't have the software for iPad, just iPod on their website. What are you actually using?

works great.

In all fairness I am yet to find any method that takes less than and hour to convert a DVD to iPad!!
