Has anyone tried this yet? I think this is the first ipad converter ive seen so far.
 
there are a bunch out there, mostly using the same tech just with a different front end slapped on. I bought one when I initially ordered my 3g, but the a/c synch kept getting messed up on its rips. So I got a refund, fired up DVD Decrypter + Handbrake and they worked perfectly (albeit in 2 steps). When the unit arrives tomorrow I'll see how the quality looks, but they look good on my 30" dell...
 
Another vote for Handbrake. I encode all my videos for iPhone, iPad, Macs. Heck even the media center running windows 7. Paid software is not always better than free.
 
My movies I ripped with the Apple TV preset in HandBrake for my Apple TV look great on my iPad...
 
I use handbrake as well, I just use the default universal settings and it looks great on the iPad.
 
I've been using HandBrake for years, but recently when I tried to use it to rip Avatar, it kept saying that I needed to install VLC -- which I had installed already.

So out of frustration, I tried WonderShare's DVD Ripper. It had a much better user interface than HandBrake and it included an iPad preset. It was fast, to, utilizing 10 of my Mac Pro's 16 virtual cores. I now have Avatar on my iPad.

They have a free trial but I paid the $45 for a license.
 
DVD into an iPad? Sounds like turning lead into gold. I'll gladly pay anyone $20 who can show me how to turn a DVD into an iPad. :D

That said, my favorite software for converting a DVD movie into a file that can be played on an iPad is 123movies2IPOD. ;)
 
If people want to shell out money for something even after being told about the free alternative, more power to them I say. Keeps the economy moving.

I removed the link from your post because the people who run that site/software spam the forums here and I'd be wary of downloading their products.

If you see recommendations by newbies for a specific non-free product or link to a strange website/blog, it's most likely spam, so please report it using the

button. I've already had to remove several spammers from this thread. Thanks :)
