I have just bought a film on DVD.
How can I copy it to my iPad in a format that the iPad can play?

OP, Sounds like the DVD in question is copy protected.

It all worked so well that I decided to do another of the DVD's that I own.
This was a Swedish DVD. When I ran it on my PC it worked perfectly in English but when I converted it as above and ran it on my iPad2 it ran in Swedish.
How can I get it to run in English on the iPad.
Thanks guys.
