There may be other solutions out there, but from my experience when I had my iPad I did the following (which was a PTA, BTW). There are ways to rip the DVD - I won't go into all of that, but you will need to rip the DVD and then convert it to a format that the iPad likes. I think I used a program called "Handbrake". You then have to load the file onto the iPad through iTunes. This process was one of the frustrations I had with the iPad. It can be done, but most people just opt for the easy solution of just buying it again through iTunes, which I'm sure was part of the plan.......
I loaded 4 or 5 movies onto my iPad before a long trip and it took me all night the night before (literally, 4hrs) to get it done - and I already had the movies ripped. Now I just grab them and drag them onto my Android Tablet or toss them onto a card and away I go - -no converting files etc..
If you Google how to take a DVD and put it onto an iPad I'm sure there are a million different ways to do it.
Maybe someone with more iPad experience will chime in with a better solution. I don't mean to be a downer, but the experience of putting movies on my iPad was not easy.....
Good Luck!
