I tried the free apps recommended on this list.  Was able to play with VLC
but it was very jerky.  Was able to play with ArkMC Lite but can't get
audio.  All my recordings are firewire captures, which i Believe are
MPEG-2.  So I think that is the issue.  Any way to play those on the iPad
without issues?
