Tutorial for Beginners to Enjoy Local Movies (DVD, Blu-ray, Video) on iPad 3
Step 1. Import source media files to the software.

Step 2. Select output format.
Click "Format" bar, you can easily find optimized profiles for iPad 3 under "iPad" category. Just select one according to your source video exactly. All of them play nicely on the new iPad.
Generally, if your source video is in 1080p like Blu-ray or some full hd video files, you can choose "iPad 3 (new iPad) Full HD Video(*.mp4)"; while, if your original video size is in standard, 720p in enough, and you choose "iPad 3 (New iPad) HD Video(*.mp4)" as output. For example, to play DVD on iPad 3, 720*480 video size is enough due to the dvd movies' native resolution.
Tips - You can click "settings" button to set the video/audio parameters such as adjust video and audio birate, resolution, frame rate etc. The only thing to keep in mind is that the file size is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss.

Step 4. When the conversion complets, you can transfer the converted local movies to new iPad 3 via iTunes, here's the way to go:
