The Beginner's Guide to iPad Video Conversion on Mac

So, you've just taken in a shiny new iPad and impressed by its beautiful display. There are several possible sources of content that you will want to convert for viewing on this big screen, and the best tools to use for the job will often be determined by the type and source of that content.

The most common types of content include DVDs, downloaded digital video content (such as that downloaded from the web), content recorded from a TV using a digital video recorder (DVR), standard digital video content and high definition video content. We will be discussing each of these content types in turn, and our recommended tools for each.

Part I - Understanding the formats compatible with iPad
Part II - Converting DVDs
Part III - Converting Standard Digital Video and HD Video Content
Part IV - Converting Recorded TV Content

Part I. Understanding the formats compatible with iPad
You know that 9.7-inch high-resolution screen makes iPad perfect for watching video, but that doesn't mean that every type of video file will play on your iPad. The iPad supported video formats are:
H.264 video (up to 720p, 30 frames per second; main profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats);
MPEG-4 video (up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, simple profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats).

Part II. Converting DVDs
One of the most common sources of iPad content will be DVDs. Although the legality of ripping the content from DVDs varies in different jurisdictions, many countries outside of the U.S. have no specific restrictions on the conversion of DVDs that you already own into other viewable formats.

On the Mac platform, the most commonly used tools for DVD extraction is MacTheRipper. MacTheRipper is a simple DVD ripping tool; it does not actually convert video, but merely extracts it from the DVD. The use of MacTheRipper is relatively straightforward: Simply insert a DVD and start the application and you will be presented with a main screen of MacTheRipper.

MacTheRipper defaults to full disc extraction, it will simply extract ALL content from the DVD. To extract a title from the DVD as a specific file, you instead need to click the "Mode" tab and choose "Title - Chapter Extraction" from the pull-down menu. The result of this operation will be in MPEG-2 format, and can be viewed through any software application capable of MPEG-2 playback, or converted using one of the tools discussed further in Part III.

Fortunately, there are other end-to-end iPad conversion solutions available. DVD to iPad Converter for Mac from iFunia is the second and better option. It provides an integrated solution to preform the extraction of DVD content and conversion to an iPad-ready format.
