Ok, the most popular question I get daily is how do I put DVD movies or video on my iPad that isn’t in iTunes already? Well the answer to that is pretty simple. The iPad required a certain video format for correct playback, thus you need a converter for your existing video or DVD movies. Since the iPad is new there are not a lot of software makers on board yet that have an iPad video converter available. However the good news is that some of the stronger iPod Video Converter makers have tweaked their code to support the iPad as well. Wondershare was always a reliable software for the iPod and when I testing iPad converters this was what I went to first. It’s probably the best bet this early in the game for the iPad.

Top Reasons Why You Should Use a DVD to iPad Converter
If you are unfamiliar with converting video into iPad format then by utilizing a software that specializes in this type of conversion is the right thing to do. All the titles in this category will easily and automatically do the conversion for you and even already has presets that are optimal for each type of iPad including the new iPad.
iTunes does not support ripping or converting of DVD movies. I know I am used to using iTunes for ripping my music CD’s to add to my library, but when it comes to DVD movies iTunes fall short. This is understandable because decrypting DVD movies it’s not in Apple’s best interest. But the problem still remains for those that want to convert their purchased movies into a format that they can take with them. One of the most requested features from iTunes users has been the ability to rip and convert DVD and that is why you would want to use a 3rd party software that does this task.
