Is it possible to convert Blurays to my iPad?

Question

Following on from my previous question, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have a new iPad, so technically capable of displaying HD movies. And I own plenty of Bluray discs.

So I was wondering if it was possible to convert Blurays I own in order to watch them on it?

(Note: Let's set aside the legality discussion since a) laws vary based on jurisdiction and b) the Internet isn't a good place to get legal advice.)

Answer 1

Absolutely! You'll need a program to rip the Blu-Rays to your computer, then you'll need a program to convert them to a format that your iPad can understand (like HandBrake).

Lifehacker has a good guide that works with both Mac and PC for ripping Blu-Ray discs.
