Many of those involved don't understand the new medium. 4. Agree. It's the problem of the publishing / content industry.

>I can only watch some DVDs I ripped myself on my iPad because I got the VLC app during its short airtime on the App Store. :(

DVD you rip can be played in the default app on iPad. No need for VLC.

There are plenty of App Store apps that allows AVI, MKV, and even .fla videos. I use Cinexplayer. Another iOS app was free this week that plays all kinds of media files.
