DVD to iPad: what is the easiest way?

[space-time]

I have a 45 min video on a DVD that I would like to rip, make some minor edits (remove intro, but a few 30 second segments in the middle) and then put on an iPad. What is the easiest way to do this?

I think HandBrake is for ripping DVDs. At least I know that was the tool I used a decade ago.

Then I think I could edit in iMovie.

And once I have the final cut, how should I export?

This is low resolution DVD equality, I don't need the best quality.
