An iPad is a beautiful thing. The gorgeous Retina display and long battery life make the iPad a great tool for watching movies. The problem is that most movies cost a pretty penny these days to download. If you have an extensive DVD collection, you can convert them into movie files that can be played on your iPad using free software. You can also convert any movie that you download into a version that works with your iPad. Finally, there are several free apps that allow you to legally stream hundreds of free movies.

    Handbrake is a free, open-source video encoding program that will allow you to rip your DVD discs onto your computer and then convert them into an iPad compatible format (with a few tweaks). It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can download it from handbrake.fr .

    Most DVDs are encrypted to prevent copying. The libdvdcss file will enable Handbrake to bypass this restriction when copying the DVD to your computer. You can download it from download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.12/ . Make sure to select the correct version for your operating system. [1]

    Once you've downloaded the libdvdcss file, you will need to place it in the Handbrake folder.
    • Windows - Copy the libdvdcss-2 file to C:\Program Files\Handbrake , or to the location that you chose to install Handbrake to.
    • Mac OS X - Run the libdvdcss.pkg file to automatically install the file into the correct location.

    You can only legally rip movies that you own, and even that is a gray area, but you shouldn't get in trouble as long as you don't distribute the files.

    Don't worry about all of the complicated options, you will be using presets to quickly convert to the proper format.

    Handbrake will begin scanning the DVD that's inserted in your computer.
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/96\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-7-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-7-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/96\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-7-Version-2.jpg\/aid1303022-v4-728px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-7-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    If your DVD contains both the wide-screen and the full-screen version of the movie, you can select the appropriate one from the "Title" drop-down menu. The "Size" section of the Picture tab will help you determine which is which.
  8. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/b\/b2\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-8-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-8-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/b\/b2\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-8-Version-2.jpg\/aid1303022-v4-728px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-8-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Click the Browse button next to the "Destination" field to select where you want to save the movie file.
  9. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/ab\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-9-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-9-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/ab\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-9-Version-2.jpg\/aid1303022-v4-728px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-9-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This will automatically convert the ripped movie into an iPad-compatible format. If you don't see the list of presets, click the "Toggle Presets" button.
  10. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/0c\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-10-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-10-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/0c\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-10-Version-2.jpg\/aid1303022-v4-728px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-10-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This will likely take a while, as the movie needs to be copied to your computer and then converted into a format that the iPad can read. You can monitor the progress at the bottom of the Handbrake window.
  11. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/44\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-11-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-11-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/44\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-11-Version-2.jpg\/aid1303022-v4-728px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-11-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

    • Click the File (Windows) or iTunes (Mac) menu and select "Add File to Library". Browse for the movie file that you just ripped and converted.
  12. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/4c\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-12.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-12.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/4c\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-12.jpg\/aid1303022-v4-728px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-12.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

    Although most big-name movies will cost money to download, you can download free, legal movies from a variety of sources, including:
    • Archive.org ( archive.org/details/movies ) - This is a large collection of films that are in the public domain and are free to watch for anyone. When downloading movies from this site, make sure to download the "h.246" version.
    • YouTube's Free Movies selection ( youtube.com/user/movies/videos?sort=dd&view=26&shelf_id=12 ) - This is a collection of movies that have been legally uploaded to YouTube to watch for free. If you want to download these for your iPad, you'll need to use a YouTube downloader. Click here for details.
    • Classic Cinema Online ( classiccinemaonline.com ) - This site hosts lots of movies from the early days of motion pictures, and most can be downloaded for free. Select a movie and then click the "Download" button to download the movie as an .avi file. This file will need to be converted to use on your iPad (see below).
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/62\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-15.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-15.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/62\/Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-15.jpg\/aid1303022-v4-728px-Get-and-Watch-Free-Movies-on-iPad-Step-15.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    The other option for finding free movies is to download a torrent file. This is only legal if you own a physical version of the movie. Most movie files that you download using torrents will need to be converted before they can be played on the iPad (see below). For more information on downloading torrent files, click here .

    Most files that you download online will not be compatible with the iPad. You can use the free program Handbrake to convert them to an iPad compatible format.
    • Download and install Handbrake from handbrake.fr .
    • Start Handbrake and click the Source button. Select the downloaded video file from your computer.
    • Click Browse next to the "Destination" field and set where you want to save the converted file and what you want to name it ("moviename-ipad" is an easy way to tell that you're selecting the converted version).
    • Select "iPad" from the list of presets. If you don't see the Presets list, click the "Toggle Presets" button.
    • Click "Start". Handbrake will begin converting the movie file, which may take a while. You can monitor the progress at the bottom of the Handbrake window.

    Now that the conversion is complete, you can import the movie file into iTunes so that it can be synced with your iPad.
    • Click the File (Windows) or iTunes (Mac) menu and select "Add to Library". Browse for your newly converted file.
    • Open the Movies section of your iTunes library. You can click the "Film strip" button at the top of the iTunes window to open it.

    There are a bunch of streaming apps available for the iPad, but many of them such as Hulu and Netflix require a monthly subscription to use. Luckily, there are a few apps that give you access to hundreds of movies for free, usually by inserting commercial breaks. Popular apps include: [2]
    • Crackle - This app has hundreds of movies available with commercial breaks. It doesn't require a subscription. If you're looking to find big-name movies for free, this app is your best bet.
    • NFB Films - This is an app put out by the National Film Board of Canada that has thousands of movies and clips available to stream for free.
    • PlayBox - This an app where you watch thousands of movies, TV shows, and more. You can download any TV show or movie if you want to watch on the go.

    With a streaming app, you can begin watching the movie immediately as long as you have a network connection. You don't have to wait for the movie to download before you start watching it.
