Windows XP, Iphone 8GB
To get photos/ images from a digital camera onto an iPad, you'll need either or both of these.
Good Luck!
You could get a wifi dvd player.

I have iPad mini 3 & iPad Pro and been wanted to know if Apple come out with an adapter for USB drive & DVD drive .I also boughtMicrosoft for 15 years and don't want to have to return back to them cause they have all these features . I love Apple products since 2014. I have dvd's & USB info from my Microsoft computer and can't see what in them . I need to see pictures I had and was misinformed that the Ipad I buy a DVD drive etc from Best Buy. Mad mad . I don't want a desktop or laptop. This iPad Pro is very convenient and easy to take anywhere with me. Please help. Jeann
There is no way to use a DVD player on any iDevice. NONE.
If you use a Windows computer, you need to install iTunes for Windows to use an iPad with your computer.
I am not a Windows user, so I am not sure how to get photos/images onto your iPad.
You maybe able to get info from your Windows computer to iPad by using special mobile designed drives.
There are a few special storage devices for mobile devices. There are portable, bulit-in WiFi hotspot hard drives for mobile devices made by Western Digital and Seagate.

Can someone say why not?
seems like a great business opportunity?
the suggustion od ripping it to a HD is just plain dumb. So I stop at a redbox beforr a trip. Oh wait let’s go home for an hour to pirate a dvd. No I just wait to play a dvd in the car that streams to an ipad. Seems easy. Sounds like I should get my engineers making a new product. Seems simple right?
please someone give me a scientific reason why not.
Shouldn’t u be able to take a DVD player on composite out, into a “box’ that can stream via Bluetooth to an iPad? How is that not easy
again please give me a real reason why not. Not just rip ur dvds
For your iPad “solution” with all your “kludgey” boxes and cables and hacks, this is no where near a portable and easy carry solution!
With your solution, it would be simpler just to purchase a portable Blu-ray/DVD player instead of suggesting what you propose.
I agree buying a portable DVD player would work, but I have 2 very nice iPads with far better quality. I have in my old car 2 headrest mounted DVD screens and they are pretty much junk. Searching all of Amazon for the best ones and they all seem pretty terrible. Still seems like a business case could be had for a wifi/bluetooth capable portable DVD unit powered by cigarette lighter that could have any tablet connect to it. There actually could be no wires. The unit itself transmits the signal. I'm guess there is a reason on the iPad side that it is not able to receive such a transmission but that too seems odd since it can receive streamed content from places like netflix.
For streaming media services, you need a stable and reliable Wifi or Cellular network connection to the service.
There is no Bluetooth streaming media services.
If you want to pay extra for cellular data service and have a cellular iPad, I think you CAN stream media content from services, like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, VUDU, or Vimeo or YouTube, but obviously this is more expensive to do.
If you take the necessary time to do as I do,
If you take the time to rip all of your DVD movies to your computer, then store these movies into an external Wireless, Wifi USB flash drive or Wireless, Wifi hard drive and use the manufacturers special iOS App to stream the movies from the flash drive to the iPad.
I have approx. 20, or so, movies on a 128 GBs Sandisk WiFi wireless flash drive that I can activate, stick in a pocket and stream movies from the tiny USB flash drive to my iPad.
We cannot discuss ANY of the software and procedures to do this in these forums.
So, then you need to put Internet searches to work to obtain the info you need.
You cannot do this, though with ANY of Apple's iTunes PURCHASED movie/TV content.
Back in the years of iOS 5 though iOS 7 days, this used to be possible, but now, no longer!

Good Luck to You!
There is no way to hook up an external DVD drive to iPad, however, iPad can play 720p or 1080p videos, so you can convert your DVD movies to H.264 .mp4 videos first, then sync the output videos to your iPad with iTunes.
To convert DVD to iPad supported videos, you can use the open-source media converter Handbrake. It’s free, it’s enough if your DVDs are not copy-protected. If your DVDs are copy-protected, you may have to use a third-party tool.
