Watch Movies on My Ipad
RicBarton
27-09-2014
For years I have been travelling on a train and watching a DVD on my lap top during my journey home. I know ripping of DVD's is a delicate issue with some. However, should I wish now to rip one and watch it on my ipad on my way home which free dvd ripping software would you recommend? I'm not out to excuse the pun "Rip anybody off" as I have loads of box sets and brought and own them all. That's how I do the majority of my viewing but I would like to ease the load of ipad, laptop, and dvd to just an ipad on my journey to and from work.

In all honesty, i went down the route of ripping all my DVD's to a HDD, so i could watch my stuff while travelling, and is was a nightmare, finding the right codecs, the right software. then worrying it wouldnt play, or the audio would go out of sync, not to mention the hours it can take to re encode to any decent quality, then i realised that i could download the same thing already encoded and ripped for me off torrents in 10 mins.

Thats what i do now, over the last few years, if i buy a blu ray or DVD, i download a version after i bought it, and that goes on an external HDD, so if i want something, i already have it takes minutes to move over.

Honestly, just download it.

This all seems too negative! Either get one of the (many) paid-for packages which make DVD->iPad trivial or use the free tools already mentioned. All will convert a DVD in 10-20 minutes or so.
