How to copy protected Blu-ray movies to iPad on Mac

Question:
I'm getting my new iPad on Friday and I would like to pre-format some videos and Blu-ray movies and films ahead of time. You know, I am not so good at computer and I don't exactly what the video iPad supported. I was wondering whether anyone knew what the maximum video size/resolution/format/whatever is that can be imported to iTunes to transfer to the iPad, especially for my protected Blu-ray movies to iPad video ripping on My Macbook. Thanks in advanced.

We can learn the spec from Apple official website. The iPad support H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
So the other format video and Blu-ray movies can't be put onto iTunes and your new iPad. If you have the DRM protected Blu-ray movies, You can even harder to put them on iPad. So, What is way to copy protected Blu-ray movie to iPad on Mac? Since iPad can't read Blu-ray movie directly because there is no Blu-ray drive on iPad. We can copy and rip the Blu-ray films to iPad format h.264 by Blu-ray Ripper for Mac. Here we just take Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper for Mac as an example.
