Watching movies offline on iPad?

Help me travel in peace (well, as peaceful as possible). DH and our kids are going to visit DH's family abroad.  We have a 5 hour flight.  How do I watch movies on the iPad offline while on the plane? Any other good travel suggestions to add?  We haven't flown since DD was born and will have 3 kids incl my step son, so we need some in flight entertainment :-)

    I downloaded episodes of Curious George through iTunes to watch on my iPhone when we flew. I would think you could download movies from there and then they'll just be on your iPad under Videos?

    You buy movies from iTunes while you are online and download them.  You just have to make sure you have enough space. For the kids movies I don't buy the HD versions because the kids don't notice the difference and they take up a lot of space.

    Find stuff on YouTube and then download it in MP4 format to your computer. Then you can put it on your iPad: www.savevid.com

    I have used this a lot. You probably won't find a lot of movies but short episodes of kid stuff.

    Slysoft is good software to copy your own DVDs in MP4 for iPad use. We have a ton of DVDs and I really didn't want to rebuy those movies on iTunes. It isn't free but if it is something you would use regularly it would be worth the price.

    I use free maker vidoe converter to put my and DS's DVDs on my iPad.

    its a lifesaver for the 5 hr drive to my parents.

    Its free and it also can convert YouTube videos to mp4 so you can watch those off line.
