How to transfer vlc media files from laptop to iPad?

I have some film files on my laptop that weren't bought through iTunes and I use VLC media player to watch them.

I've just got a new iPad Mini 2 and I'd like to be able to put the films onto my iPad so I can watch them whenever/wherever I feel like.

I thought that I could just use Dropbox to transfer the files and install the VLC media player app on my iPad to watch them, however when I looked online, some people are saying that this method won't work.

So, is it as simple as using Dropbox and the VLC media player app? Or if not, can you give me another (as easy as possible) method to do this?

Thanks

IPad fault will not start up?

My grandad has an iPad 1 and when he turns it on it has the apple logo for ages followed by some white text which fades away after a few seconds and then comes back a few mins later and then repeats. It will not go any further than this.
It will not turn off either.
Here are some photos to show what I mean:

Any good games for PSP?

Some adventure mixed with a little fighting like Monster Life on iPad, but for PSP. I will also like racing games like CSR Racing for iPad (not 2GB games like Real Racing 3). I only have the EA Replay CD which has games only released on 1992-1997. It's so old-fashioned. Will appreciate good answers. 10 points for the best answer. Will be chosen when >5 answers are in this page. Thanks a lot!
Added (1). The EA Replay was a UMD, not a CD.

IPad Charger not working?

I recently bought a new charger for my iPad because my old one broke. The new charger was working fine until right now. It is make no my iPad's battery go down fast! I don't think the charger was by the apple company. On the screen, it says something like the charger is not compatible with my IPad. It fits in the plug, but doesn't work! What should I do?
