China-based Wondershare Software wants to bank on the iPad. Hence they’ve released two applications that convert (optimize) any video for the 9.7-inch 1024×768 pixels screen of Apple’s tablet.
The two applications are called DVD to iPad Converter and iPad Video Converter. The former uses DVD as a source, whereas the latter deals with various video files. Both produce a video clip that’s optimized for watching on the iPad.
You may input HD video sources and get almost the same HD effects on the iPad screen, and/or you can cut off the black edges of videos to enjoy them on a full screen. The software supports editing — including trimming video clips, editing subtitles, adding watermarks and so on. Moreover, there is an option to extract audio from DVDs or videos, as well as batch conversion options.
Finally the pricing. Each of the two apps is available for $19.95, and both in a bundle for $27.95. Free trial versions are also available.
