Anyone ripping BR for new iPad playback?

Of course folks AirPlay to the aTV3 and rip blu-rays for the iPad 3--both devices have been on sale since March 16.

The main two tools, MakeMKV and Handbrake, are the same tools we've already been discussing for years--most of us transcode that .mkv file (or sometimes remux) into a smaller, more iTunes and iOS device friendly format--it's up to you to decide whether you do that specifically for the iPad 3 and only the iPad 3 or whether you go for something a little more universal. It all depends what else you have at home. Here's a previous thread on the subject which you posted to:

Here are good threads on 1080p Handbrake settings for the aTV3 and iPad 3:

That depends on the title, but the rip size is roughly the same as the size of the blu-ray. What you are probably really asking is how big are the transcodes--after you Handbrake the rips--and that depends as well, on the settings or preset that you choose.

Read the threads I linked to.

You should be a little more specific about what you're considering doing--whether you'll mainly be streaming files to your new iPad 3 or physically moving them over to the iPad 3...and what you plan to AirPlay to an aTV3.
