Hi everyone, I recently got an iPad and I really want to use it to watch my DVD collection. I know people have asked this before and I have tried to do it with a converter called 'handbreak',that everyone is recommending, But it's taking about 10 hours to convert a DVD to mp4 format !! Now I'm not a tech geek,but isn't this a bit too long.......lol
I really want to get this right because I have 4 kids that always take over the tv,so it would be great to have my film collection on my iPad.
Thanks in advance

I speed up the process by ripping using DVD shrink, then converting the rip to ipad format using handbrake. the whole process takes me an average of around 30mins for a feature film

Is that another programme for my laptop........sorry I'm no good at this sort of stuff
Fancy doing me an idiots guide.....lol

It's a free down load for your desktop/laptop. No guide needed. Very simples. If stuck, a quick read of the help fie will sort you out.

Read these tips:

Handbrake Presets for iPhone 4 and iPad

hope can do some helps for you.

There is an iPad preset in handbrake.
When ripping DVD with handbrake, you'd better close any unnecessary tasks in your computer.
I have had successful experience with handbrake. It took about 1 hour for ripping a 4.7GB DVD movie to iPad preset.
There is also other programs to rip DVD for iPad. ie.DVD to iPad Converter. It costs $29.
