Just bought an external DVD drive and am wondering if there is a certain wire I can buy to hook it up to my iPad mini to play DVDs on there instead of lugging my MacBook Air with me. Any suggestions?
iPad Mini
Won't work - the Mini doesn't have the drivers/software support required to be able to use a DVD drive with it.
An iPad won't recognise a DVD drive, you will either need to copy the DVDs via your computer and sync them to your iPad, or there are wifi-enabled external drives that can stream content to an iPad.
Any idea how to copy DVDs from computer and sync them to iPad mini? Thanks in advance
Commercial DVDs or DVDs you made yourself?
Commercial DVDs, typical movies/shows to watch
Legally, you can't. That would be a violation of the DMCA.
That's why I bought the external hard drive. Oh well...
Return it. If all you want to do is watch DVD movies, you can get a standalone DVD player with a screen cheap at just about any truck-stop in the country.
Might be what you need if money were water. Don't really know. Could not find the app to learn more.
