DVD VOBs use MPEG-2 interlaced video — a codec that iPads cannot hardware-decode. iPads require H.264 or H.265 in MP4/MOV containers. The iPad Video preset transcodes DVD content to Apple-optimized H.264/H.265 with proper deinterlacing, correct aspect ratio handling (4:3 or 16:9), and bitrates suited for the iPad's display.

iPad cannot play MPEG-2 video from DVDs. The Photos app, Videos app, and Safari all reject VOB files. Converting to the iPad preset produces hardware-decoded video that plays smoothly with optimal battery life. The deinterlacing ensures clean progressive frames on the iPad's LCD.

DVD content at 480p resolution looks surprisingly good on iPad — the H.264 encoding at appropriate bitrates produces clean, sharp video on the tablet's display.

FFmpeg deinterlaces MPEG-2, handles DVD aspect ratio flags (4:3 or 16:9 anamorphic), and transcodes to H.264 High Profile Level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio. DVD resolution is preserved or adjusted for proper pixel aspect ratio. AC3/DTS surround is downmixed to stereo AAC. The moov atom is front-loaded for instant iPad playback.

No. iPad has no disc drive, no MPEG-2 decoder, and does not recognize VOB containers. Full conversion to H.264 is required.

Yes. At normal iPad viewing distances (12-18 inches), 480p content looks clean and watchable on all iPad models.

A 2-hour DVD converts to roughly 800 MB-1.5 GB at good quality. A 64 GB iPad holds 30-60 movies after OS space.

Yes. DVD anamorphic widescreen (16:9) is properly interpreted and the iPad displays the correct aspect ratio.

No. Only the video and audio content converts. DVD menus, chapter navigation, and interactive features are lost.
