Just looked on the store, no VLC, but the link is here: http://itunes.apple.com/app/vlc-media-player/id390885556

Will grab it later. Odd it's not on the store though (via iPad/iPhone etc)

Edit: it's iPad only! Was trying on the phone.

I couldn't do it on iTunes either..add or save as were the only options i could see.
Any ideas?

I'm sure If you click the bit of video you want to delete and hit delete on the keyboard it works

Can someone explain why you use VLC player, does the built in player not do the job?

You don't have to convert the films for the iPad.

Rip your DVD to .avi. and play it in VLC. Much more simple and a lot quicker

What software would you use to do this? Could be handy as i would like to rip the kids dvd's so I can keep them on the ps3.

Handbrake works well.

You just highlight the files in itunes and press delete.

JonB · 24 Sep 2010 at 15:45

But if you're ripping them yourself, why not just use x264?

Remote (made by apple) is nice. Was good for iphone and now a iPad version.

(It lets you see your iTunes songs/playlists etc from your device and click songs to play (which then plays through your pc speakers)

So you can sit on your bed with your iPad while changing song easily playing from your desktop/laptop speakers.

What's the best msn app? BeeJive?

oli356 · 30 Sep 2010 at 19:09

been using im+ not tried BeeJive

Its good enough, built in browser, send photos and sound clips. Ummm, can hold a few accounts like most can.
Though I still never really enjoy msn on the iPad or iPhone. Something is weird about the applications, will try BeeJive over weekend.
