How can I watch a video clip in my iPad 3?

I just got an attached video clip from my brother, sent to my hotmail. When I open the clip, it just shows an overcrossed play bottom! How can I watch a video clip in hotmail, using an iPad? Do I need to download an app or what? Please!?

Well on a Mac you can install
Flash
Silverlight
Perian
VLC
Flip4Mac
DivX
and many other codecs/tools to watch anything.
Guess the iOS isn't really all that it's cracked up to be, ignoring the wider world out there.
Your only choice to complain to Apple about closed devices they make, but of course they know this already and using the iPad as a cheap "netbook" halo effect device so you get to upgrade to a Mac, just like they do with iPhones and iPods.
In the meanwhile they are slowly closing the door on OS X, a little at a time so it's not noticeable.
Pretty soon the excuse will be "sorry I can't play your video you sent me mom, I've got a Mac"

  • How can I view video clips on other web sites? Nearly every web site that has a video clip to view is unavailable to me because my iPad doesn't support flash! I can't believe the iPad is unable to do this. How can I watch web video clips.

    What feature does iPad have in placement of flash player. Not having access to many web sites is killing the iPads appeal?;,

    Not to sounds rude, but this issue has been covered so much in the media that I find it hard to believe that people still don't know. However all iOS devices, never and will never support flash natively. Google "apple adobe flash war". There are some alternatives, try skyfire browser in the app store. Not perfect but might help. None the less, most sites these days support html5 video which runs on iPad. I am actually having hard time running across a site which doesn't support iPad. however that is my personal experience based on my personal interests.

    Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

  • How can I blend two video clips where they join side by side in one movie?

    Hello Marvelous Movie Making Minds,
    I am working with Adobe Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
    How can I blend two video clips where they join side by side in one movie?
    I know how to place two or more video clips together in the same movie, but how can I give them a bit of a blend just where they join?
    I have a PDF instruction manual and the built-in web browser instructions.  In the instruction manual in "Chapter 7: Superimposing and Compositing" it talks about the transparency of any video clip, and I understand that... but I don't want to make one or the other video clip transparent anyplace except where the two video clips join together with perhaps a bit of overlap.
    I'd like to make a little blur just where the two videos join in the middle... is this possible?
    Thanks,
    digi

    Aha that kind of blending.
    Have not used 6.5 in a loooooooong time.
    So this is from memory, hope i get this right.
    Set the two clip on top of each other
    Make a matte in Photoshop and superimpose this over the two clips.
    Go to the Transparancy Settings and set the top clip in video 2 to Alpha key.
    Screendump for matte:
    The right side is made black just for the forum but should be transparant.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately the number you've posted is not the Model or Product No. - see the guide on the link below for details on finding this information.

    In the meantime, try a clean installation of the flash plugin/activeX as follows.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded,use Recovery Manager to reinstall your original graphics driver(s) - see the guide on the following link on how to use this software to reinstall drivers.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
    After this reinstallation, restart the notebook again, then download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    When the installation has completed, restart the notebook once more.
    Regards,

  • How can i delete a video in photos of ipad 2? there is no delete icon!

    How can i delete a video in photos of ipad 2? there is no delete icon!

    They are deleted in the same way as photos, which are deleted by : only photos/videos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/wesites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo/video in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos/videos that were synced from your computer are deleted by removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing.

  • How can I watch BBC/ITV player on my iPad

    How can I watch BBC/ITV player on my ipad - someone has told me I need a flash player but there is no such thing on ipad

    BBC iPlayer and ITV Player are both apps in the App Store.
    You can also watch about 50 channels of live TV (including all BBC and ITV channels) if you point Safari at "TvCatchup".
    Tell "somebody" that Flash is not required.

  • How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

    How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?  These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear.  I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
    Thanks
    York

    Interesting note:  I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen.  The video does not open.  I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.
