CBTs for the iPad

sambuca69

So, I picked up an iPad this weekend with the cellular plan, and I'm really liking it.

I'm sure there is a way, but how could I watch my CBTs on here as well? For example, my Trainsignal CBTs... how the heck do you transfer the app over? Or is it not possible?

I loaded up PDFs and got some techy Kindle books on there, and like someone else here said, it's nice to be able to walk around with a library of books.

I dont have an Ipad (yet!) but couldnt you copy the Trainsignal material into ITunes, and sync it that way to the Ipad?

Trainsignal should be no problem. For CBT nuggets, you would probably need to download their app and then you could use the streaming subscription.

Hmm.. I'm not sure how to just "copy" these over. What app would I use to copy the files over? I'd need to create a folder for all the files associated with these CBTs, no?

Bear with me... first time using iTunes as well

The best way to view our trainings on an iPad is through Train Signal - Computer Training Videos - Microsoft, VMware, Cisco, CompTIA & more! and clicking on the green My Online Training button. They'll stream and come out in high resolution.

If you want physical copies on your iPad you'll need to find a program that can convert the AVI files located on the Video Disc into a format the iPad can play. The iPod video files we provide are meant for the iPod and are in a smaller resolution.

Super C can do that conversion for you. (or any conversion you could ever think of) Otherwise realplayer has some easy conversion software built in it that should be able to do that for you.

Sweet, thanks all. I will try it tonight.

Check out the VLC app for iPad. It should be able to play the AVI files.

You don't have to re-encode. VLC should play it.

However, if you need to rip a DVD or encode a video file, I recommend handbrake. Free and simple to use.

This explains everything you need to know!

I use this app on my iPad and i can watch many formats. I have several videos i ripped from the Cisco Press Firewall Video Mentor in flash based format I also have a full blown library of CBTs in AVI on the iPad as well. I will do whatever it takes to motivate and educate myself for a better career.

Oh yeah having a library of PDFs and Video instructors in one thin little device is second to none!
