Then go here for the free video converter:

I downloaded the full studio. (Uncheck the boxes to install the DVDvideosoft toolbars) After that's installed, use the video to iPhone converter. Select High Quality because you will want a high resolution for the iPad.
Transfer the newly created mp4 through iTunes and you can play the lessons when you want.
I'm planning on doing just that when I go on vacation in a couple weeks. I have an Android also, that I need to see if it works on. Someone also posted some iPhone apps on another thread.
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.
