Can the iPad play DVD files?

I am not talking about taking a DVD movie and converting the file to .mp4, etc , etc. I am talking about playing the actual VIDEO_TS file.

I am a wedding videographer and it would be nice to have these files stored on the iPad so I can show potential clients not only the video but also the menus, etc. I will not be able to show the menus if I convert the file to another format.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Mac OS X (10.6.3)

You are spamming a two year old thread genius.

I searched for along time before finding Wondershare Player. It says it's an iPhone only app, but you can install it on your iPad. It's able to open .ISO files and has DVD nav functionality built in. Works like a charm!

Well, while it's indeed free, I don't think it's a good idea to use an iPhone app in 2x mode when there are much better native (ISO) DVD players around; most importantly, GoodPlayer ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/goodplayer/id416756729?mt=8). The latter is worth every cent.

I know one Bros Video Converter, do not know whether we can convert DVD Video. I often used to convert the other format for ipad. Hope it can help less than you

I have been using Handbrake for a long time to rip DVD's to the computer for iTunes upload. You have a variety of presets and flexibility with the video quality.

Videos went straight into iTunes and straight onto my iPad. Perfect!
