Coping MKV to Ipad

I'm an Apple newbie!

I want to copy across some films to watch which are MKV files to an ipad with the latest OS. It appears i need to either convert them or buy WALTR software to drag and drop..

Can any one tell me what I should be using?

Seem daft to have to buy extra software to do this..

download vlc from app store drag n drop files onto ipad plays everything

If only it was that simple !

Get good player and the. Connect to it via web browser and send them actoss

I used to use Handbrake to convert files for devices, they have presets for iPad, iPhone etc. This may not be the best method now but pretty easy :)

I've been using the https://softorino.com/w2 24 hour trial version and its really impressive with drag and drop wired and wifi transfer it works really well. Just can't believe I have to pay £40 for something itunes should do out the box.

Another vote for handbrake.

Thanks consoles, as usual I didn't RTFM when I installed VLC !

you can also install in vlc through itunes, on the apps part.
