CBT videos and ipad

I have multiple cd's that I have purchased in the past and would like to watch a few on the new ipad i was lucky enough to get for Christmas. Very disappointing to find out this is not feasible. Any work around to this? I think from now on I'm going with Trainsignal just for this fact....

    maybe I'm doing something wrong but once the file is converted it will not play properly. I believe it has something to do with the codec TECH Smith is what I am finding else where on the net....

    Have you tried to play them using VLC player - don't think I've come across a media file yet that VLC has not played!

    ive made my cbtnuggets into MOV files for my android so when I am cycling 40 minutes on the spin cycle at the gym I play an IT video rather than to tune into that garbage 24hour fitness plays on their flat screens. ;)

    today I was watching stuff on power shell scripting. yummy stuff

    what did you use to do that? wonder if there is a difference between Android and ipad however? Have not tried VLC yet... will give it a shot...

    Try looking on the doom9 site under guides for how to convert between formats of video. Divx works fine on my iPad, as should h264.

    http://www.videohelp.com/ is another one to look at.

    The easiest way I've found to play most content without converting it for iPad is to upload it to a service and play through the app. Particularly Google Drive for me, but I think Dropbox might work similarly.
