I’ve decided that I’m definitely going to pursue an iPad before the end of the year, but that actually brings about a bit of a conundrum.
At the moment, I’ve got all my media converted into an iPhone format so I can watch older Dr Who or Battlestar Galactica episodes on the move. I’m soon going to be ripping and converting all my Red Dwarf DVD’s to the same format. What I’m also quite likely to do is produce high quality rips of episodes from all those shows in a size and resolution good enough to watch on my 27.5 iMac. Yes yes I know I could just put the DVD in the machine but I like the idea of quickly opening up an episode without any faffing around.
However, when I do get the iPad does this mean that I’m going to create a third copy of all of these episodes converted to a more suitable size and resolution, just for the iPad? One approach I was thinking of taking is simply creating a generic ‘mobile’ edition of the episodes at a half way point between what I’d put on each of the two devices. Perhaps that is the simplest solution?
