Depending on what you want to watch and where you want to watch it, you can get movies moving forward on your iPad screen in a variety of ways. Here are the common methds of video acquisition:
The iTunes Store, desktop edition. You can shop the iTunes Store in your computer's window, browsing through the hundreds of movies, TV shows, video podcasts, and music videos offered for sale or rent. Whenever you click to buy or rent a video, iTunes downloads the file to your computer. Plug in the iPad and transfer the video with a quick sync.
The iTunes Store, iPad edition. You can also buy video directly from your iPad. Tap the purple iTunes icon on the iPad's Home screen, browse before you find what you want, and click to buy or rent the recording. The file downloads to your iPad, where you can think it is by tapping the Videos icon on the Home screen. Video clips you buy on the iPad get synced back to the iTunes library next time you plug in the iPad.
Video-streaming apps. With a speedy and steady Internet connection, you can skip the iPad-drive bloat and stream video with apps such as the free ABC Player. Here, you can watch recent episodes of the network's popular prime-time shows - with commercials, alas. The App Store also hosts the iPad version of Netflix. The ubiquitous movierental company streams full-length theatrical films to the iPad with a paid monthly membership.
Video-streaming websites. While many videos on the YouTube website use Flash and so won't work on the iPad, other sites use QuickTime for video clips, and they will. And as the Internet switches to new web-page coding technology, sites while using new HTML5 standard will have iPad-compatible video streams, too. Your video options is only going to increase as the iTunes Store adds more stuff, video apps still pop up in the App Store, and more sites move to HTML5.
Synchronization. Connect your iPad to your computer and click its icon under Devices in iTunes. Click the films tab and turn on the "Sync movies" checkbox. You can also decide to sync only certain movies to your tablet. If you have TV programs in your iTunes library, click it Shows tab and adjust your syncing preferences there. Ditto for video podcasts on the Podcasts tab.
Manual management. Click the right library in iTunes' Source list, and then drag the files you want from the main iTunes window onto your connected iPad's icon. The iTunes Store is chock-full of videos, but sometimes you need to add your own flicks to your iTunes library. Not a problem, just drag the file from your desktop and drop it anywhere in iTunes' main window, or choose File, then "Add to Library" to locate and import your files. Once you get videos into iTunes, you can play them there or copy these phones your iPad.
Another way to add files to iTunes is to drag them to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. This clever folder analyzes that which you put inside it, and - based on the file extension - shelves it in the right location for you.
You find the auto-folder not through iTunes, but by navigating your system files. In Windows, it's usually in C:/Music, then iTunes, then iTunes Media, then Automatically Increase iTunes. If iTunes can't match a file, it dumps it into a Not Added subfolder.
