How to get movies from laptop to ipad mini

I have roughly 100GB of movies (mostly AVIs) on my laptop.  They are not purchased via itunes.  I am getting an ipad mini 16GB.  How can i best deal with movie transfers so i can watch movies on the ipad mini.  I know there is little storage on the mini, and i know i will probably have to convert to mp4s, but can i use an alternative storage that would both store movies and enable me to watch them on the mini??
Many thanks.

You can't import movies from DVD directly into iTunes like you can with a CD. The process is much more complex and will require the use of third party software.
You'll first need decrypting software to remove the encryption on the DVD.
Then you'll need conversion software to convert the decrypted files into an iPod friendly format.
Sometimes, both of those tasks can be accomplished with one piece of software. (Before anyone mentions it Videora iPod Converter is NOT an all-in-one package. It does NOT decrypt DVDs.)
PQ DVD seems to be popular for Windows users, as well as ImTOO.
Many other titles have been mentioned in this forum. Your question gets asked, and answered, a lot.
Here are some search results for you to review. There's great information contained in these previous posts.

    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync your film the iPad's Videos app. If it says that it isn't compatible with the iPad then try doing Advanced > Create iPad Version and then try syncing that version over.

  • How to get Movies from iTunes to iPad (Not setup on computer)

    I have a movie in iTunes that I want to transfer to an iPad. 
    The iPad was not setup on my current machine (or not setup using a computer at all, I can't recall), so when I connect, it asks to restore from my last iPhone backup, or setup as new.  The iPad is only backed up on iCloud.
    Thoughts? 
    Thanks in advance.

    If you purchased the TV. shows from iTunes, they are compatible with the iPad and there is no reason why they shouldn't work. Did you try syncing them to the iPad from iTunes on your computer?

    In iTunes 11, in order to see the device in the left sidebar, go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top of the screen - if the sidebar isn't already visible.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • How to transfer music from laptop to ipad

    I have music in my laptop in itune folder.How do I transfer music from itune in laptop to itune in ipad2.

    If you have iTunes installed on the computer, you have to make sure it is the current version.
    Just run iTunes and go to "File > Check for Update" to check whether your iTunes is the latest one. Then, use USB cable to connect iPad with computer as well.
    After iTunes recognize your iTunes, just hit "iPad" tab under the "DEVICE" section of the iTunes sidebar. On the right screen, you can see a new window to list you all categories of iPad. Just hit "Music" tab. Check the box next to "Sync Music" and click the circle next to "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists and genres." Click the boxes next to specific artists, playlists and genres if you want to sync specific music to your iPad.
    Now, you may press the "Apply" button in the bottom-right corner of the main iTunes screen, followed by "Sync" in the same area to transfer the music to your iPad.

  • How do I get photos from laptop to iPad,  can't find photo tab

    How do I get photos from lap top to iPad?

    The photos tab appears on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the device, in the same way as the music, films tabs etc appear for syncing those items to the iPad. You need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad.

  • How to download Movies from iTunes to iPad

    I purchased a movie from iTunes on my iPad. I confirmed purchase and it looked like it was going to download. Nothing shows up in my download tab in iTunes and nothing is in my movies. I tried connecting to my computer but nothing happens then either. I tried to purchase again but the same thing happened. Anyone have any suggestions to what is going on or how to get my movies?

    I ended up ordering from my laptop
    Did you try as I suggested above?
    You should not have re-ordered it.
