I have tried googling it but got so many different explanations I thought I'd ask I anyone has done it and what is easiest. We cannot stream in the cottage as he internet is not unlimited. I'm dreading a week of rain plus we have the car journey to get there the big two are going in the motor home with my parents so poor E will be on his own there and back.

You have two choices. You can either buy them through iTunes on your iPad or you can download them.
I use Vuze to download and then convert them if they are not in mp4 format already. If you search for the films you want to download and they are already in mp4 format you don't need to convert them to put them on your iPad, you just need to open iTunes and use the "add to library" function.

adding a third choice, ripping the dvds in whatever format you need.
I need to have a long hard look at getting video to work on my playbook, it's a notoriously picky bugger. I could probably side-load a different video player but I don't want to monkey about with it too much

What do you use to rip DVDs with? I begrudge paying the price of the DVD I already own again just to buy a digital copy for my iPad

dd1's used a few on free trials but she's reinstalled windows recently and can't remember which was the best one, doh.

Yes it is the DVD option I want we have thousands of DVDs and I guess I'm too mean to pay again.

It takes a very long time to rip DVDs. The program I use is only for mac so not much use but I gave up and just d/l anything I want for free. Much, much quicker and often already in mp4 format which is what you need for an iPad.
