"I own a couple of commercial DVDs and would like to rip the movies I have on DVDs to place on my new iPad. So anyone who knows how to rip DVD movies to iPad on Mac without having to buy them in the iTunes store again?"
Generally speaking, it's hard to give a definition whether is legal or illegal to rip DVDs your own to your iPad. Personally, I really don't think it is illegal to backup your purchased DVDs to the new iPad in case of theft, loss or damage.
