Hmmm... Have you looked into Apple TV? If your Mac is recent enough, it will mirror, and share with AirPlay to the Apple TV box connected to your TV. Apple TV is also the asker to your iPad question. iPad will Airplay / stream / mirror to the Apple TV.

There is also an app iMediaShare will stream directly to some TVs from an iPad. You will need to get the movie onto your iPad. This requires iTunes and a sync procedure.

Yes you can i
do it all the time,you need to download a movie for your own use,onto your PC.Then put it into a File.Then you need to make it into a mp4 file ,by using a file convertor you can download free off the Net.Once converted you need to connect your Ipad to your PC by the leads you should have when purchased your Ipad.you also must have ITunes on your PC

Wouldn't it be easier to add a DVD player to your TV?
the point is to be able to watch the movie away from home on the ipad. I have a dvd player surround sound system but would like to watch movies on the ipad with out haveing to buy them all over again. I have a lot of movies I have burned to disks over the years. Stuff that itunes dosen;t carry like some of my fav john wayne movies or carry grant stuff not to mention newer moives the would cost me 17.99 on itunes that I could buy for 5.00 on a dvd.

The way to put movies on your iPad from your computer is through syncing with ITunes.

Yes it is possible, to transfer movies from your computer to your iPad 2, you must have iTunes installed on your computer. Connect your iPad 2 to the computer with the data cable. Launch iTunes, and you can have movie folder on iTunes, you can transfer movie to your iPad by clicking the Synch/Apply button at the bottom right of the page. The movies will transfer to your iPad.

Thanks for the info and I have looked into the avhd player but the last reviews said the latest update was bad and it made it not work. I am waiting for a fix before I spend the money on one. I am using a converter right now that switches it to mp4 and its working right now. Im happy with it atleast for the time being until the a fix for the player and a better way comes along.
