I got the New iPad recently, it's been something I've been eyeing for a while now. It's been a gem of a device so far and I can see myself using my laptop less and less.
The only stumbling block is playing Toku video files like Over-time's Kamen Rider and Super Sentai encodes. Most of these encodes are in the MKV format which the iPad does not support. The best solution I have right now is converting them using HandBrake (I'm using Mac OS X) but that takes quite a while to convert everything and it's been crashing occasionally. I've heard using AVPlayer HD is a good way to play MKV files without converting, but I hesitate to spend the $2.99 required until I get assurance that it'll be really worth it. What do the iPad owners here use? Thanks!

Well, I'd just check up on JEFusion for the latest videos that have been posted. You should be able to make it work with Wi-Fi. If you have a Facebook account, chances are you can watch Kamen Rider on Facebook via Henshin Fever. If you don't you probably still could manage to use his/her resources.

Don't got an Ipad, but I do have an Ipod Touch.
You can convert video files for free using Videorea |

Av player is brilliant. I've been using it for ages... But with tv-nihon subs as I download a batch and throw an entire series on to my iPad. I think I've put over-time on it before and for some reason some of actual subtitles didn't appear, same happened with the tiger and bunnie subs I got recently too...no idea why.
But yeah it's great for tv-n and if you want to watch movies without converting them =] |

It's really taking up a lot of space. AVPlayer has potential though, and I hope it is tweaked further in the future.

Here is my method: I store all my movie files on my home computer's HD, then I use an app call "StreamToMe" on the home WiFi network. it decodes almost anything, and has sub capability, it pre-buffers so there are no lagging at all, that's how I watch EVERYTHING.

Yeah, it plays MKV files, but I just stick with the SD version, it's almost as good as HD and it takes up a lot less room. I've tried AirVideo, I find StreamToMe to be superior.
