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

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
