Is there a free converter to put DVD's I own on my iPad. Traveling with kids soon and wanted to put a few of their movies on our iPad. Not really jazzed about spending $30 just to put one or two movies on the iPad one time as I won't be doing this much after that. Any free software for Mac? I tried one but it seems to just link me to buy.

I use the software called Handbrake. It's free, open-source software.

I read that but can't get it to work, plus you have to download the vlc which I did, but it still says it isn't compatible. Was hoping to have a software where you can simply put in the DVD and say convert to ipad or version that is compatible with ipad in itunes.
Handbrake - Need to save as MP4
I have a Macbook Pro with 10.6.8 software. Per Handbrake, I downloaded the 64 bit and then the 32/64 vlc and every time I hit source on the handbrake to choose my DVD it says i need to get VLC when VLC works just fine. I even installed the 64 bit version of vlc thinking the 32 may have confused things. still no luck.

+1 for Handbrake. Has my two favorite attributes: it's free, and it works.

LOL. Now i have a succint and brief way to describe my favorite things.
I got the same message, but just clicked "scan anyways" and it seemed to work out just fine. Perhaps that will help?
"I have VLC, why won't HandBrake see it?"

There's an app for that :tongue:
Can you guys help me???
I laid a bunch of my DVDs on top of my iPad 2, and it's not working!!!!! I followed the instructions that said to put your DVDs on your iPad.
Maybe I did it wrong because I put the shiny side up when I did that? Should the shiny side be facing down, so the iPad can read it better?
HELP!!!!!!!

You're not supposed to put them on your iPad. You need to get them in your iPad. Best way to do that is to take a picture of you DVDs with the built in camera. :biggrin:
Nah, you need a slingshot, or was it a handbrake? Shoehorn?
