I don't use my iPad much these days, but when I did, I used nPlayer: a media playing app which got around many of the iOS restrictions. Plays many different formats, has its own integrated file manager, and provides ways to copy files directly including Windows file shares or streaming files

VLC allows it, but it is a pain because I have to transfer over wifi which is about ten times slower than via cable.
