note to self…
(how i did it..)
capture dvd with vlc. view -> advanced controls, use record button to start and stop snippets.
download trial version of videowizard (can convert 2min of snippets).
get it on your ipad, f.ex. via a dedicated image and video folder when synchronizing the ipad.
voila – should be available both in the usual image viewer and in imovie.
