The movies have to be part of the iTunes library on the computer and can then be synced to the device, or, if you buy the movie using the iPad, it will be downloaded onto the device.
Movies you did not buy in the iTunes Store have to be converted into a supported format by using 3rd party software, then imported into iTunes on the computer and synced after that.
