VLC is great on the Mac OSX but since the new update it is absolutely diabolical on the iPad, every 10 minutes it crashes requiring a reboot. Shame too, used to be amazing to drag and drop files onto the iPad with no transcoding needed
I now use ZumoCast, it can stream videos from any machine connected online, just install the software on each machine you want to stream from. Since I have a media server at home this is great for me both in the UK and abroad. You can also save files to the iPad but this only works over the wifi connection and requires transcoding so it can take 15 minutes per file, you need to plan in advance basically. That aside, it has never crashed on me and I use it all the time. It's free too, one of the better pieces of software on the App Store
