IPad is a series of tablet computers launched by Apple company in 2010, and those tablets are positioned between apple's smartphone iPhone and laptop products. Designed by a team led by the British-born design director Jonathan Lve, they provide functions such as browsing websites, sending and receiving e-mails, watching e-books, playing audio or video, running games, GPS navigation and playing games.

However, when it comes to DVD, there is no way even to hook up an external DVD drive to iPad. Therefore, we must turn to those alternative ways to sync DVD playback on iPad. To convert DVDS on iPad, we provide some questions for your questions.

Part 1: Why Do You Need iPad DVD Player

When you bought an iPad for using, one of the main things you want is watching movies. You can't always find your favorites on the usual streaming services. To watch movies on DVDs with a library of movies and TV box sets and look for a way to enjoy them, you need to figure out how to realize this intention. Buying new HD format isn't always the best use of your money, and the iPad has no way of recognizing the DVD player / drive, and there is no external DVD player for iPad. Moreover, Apple has always been pretty restrictive in allowing what works and what does not work on the iPad, so you are wondering how to get a DVD movie onto an iPad to play it, how to play DVD on iPad, including the iPad mini, iPad Air or the new iPad Pro(10.5-inch and 12.9-inch) and what program would you use to import the DVD files into the iPad?

Since you cannot plug an external DVD drive to iPad to play DVDs, the practical way to play DVD content on iPad would be to import the DVD content and play on iPad. If they are on your laptop and part of your iTunes library, you can sync them to the iPad assuming they are in a format supported by the iPad. Otherwise, you can use Leawo DVD Ripper to rip them off your DVD and import them onto an App on the iPad for playback. Though one cannot play DVD disc on iPad directly, you can manage to play DVD content on iPad by transferring DVD to iPad and play it locally. You can import the DVD content from computer to iPad iPhone without worrying iTunes/i Devices format compatibility. With built-in converter, this workaround "DVD player" for iPad (Pro 2/mini/air 2/air/3) auto converts DVD and directly transfers DVD to iPad/iPad Mini/iPad Pro/iPad Pro 2/iPhone given that DVD disc is ripped to iSO, MKV, AVI, MP4, RMVB etc. This iPad DVD player lets you import/export 4K or 1080p HD DVD videos & films between PC and i Device in batch as long as your iPad storage space is large enough.
