Avchd to iPad 2

Avchd is a format used by Sony for video. What have people found as a good converter so the video can be played on an iPad 2? maybe mp4 format. The video is 1080i.

Hi Craig,
I also got the second problem. The storyboard on iMovie trailer has all these missing videos. If I import them on my iPad it doesn't find them.
If you find a solution it would be much appreciated to share it here ... I'll do the same.
Thanks,
Rafael

Imovie on my ipad ...refuses to recognize AVCHD Video. Also when i remove video clips already used in a project, it is unable to recognize missing clips after I've put them back. How do I get around these 2 issues?

My iMovie refuses to recognize, import, or work with AVCHD Video. It also refuses the same video clips even after I have converted them to Mp4. Also, when I delete a video clip already used in a project, then later import the same clip back to my ipad, the software is unable to recognize and find the clip again! Help! How do I get around these issues?

I want to play AVCHD videos in ipad from my JVC camcorder.which is the best tool for converting the avchd videos to formats that ipad can play?

I have a JVC HD camcorder that creates videos in AVCHD format that ipad cannot play. Which is the best tool to convert these avchd videos to the format ipad can play?

Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

Handbrake on the Mac can convert AVCHD.

How to convert AVCHD for use on ipad

The Mac application Handbrake should work. It is "free" open source.

Ipad 3 AVCHD files

Does anybody know how to import AVCHD files direct into an ipad 3 using the camera connection kit without having to download and convert in a Mac first? Motion Jpeg and jpegs are fine but I much prefer the quality of AVCHD, any suggestions very welcome!

You will need to at least "remux" them as long as these files are not interlaced. In most cases (except, again, for interlaced footage), full, time-consuming and quality-degrading reencoding isn't necessary.
Please read, for example, http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/review-video-converter-ivi-pro-ipads-iphones for more info on remuxing.

AVCHD on an iPad Air

I am trying to find away to preview my AVCHD video footage in the field. I have a 64g iPad Air with an SD card reader. I have been viewing my footage from my DSLRs, .mov format, for a long time, since my iPad 2, but now that I'm upgrading my cameras I can't preview my footage. I have to wait until I get home and hope I have what I need? I know that AVCHD isn't a popular consumer format, but if you want a professional grade camera you're going to buy either Sony or Panasonic and therefor you have to use AVCHD, ergo I need a way to preview my footage before I walk 3 miles thru the mountains to my truck, lugging 40 pounds of gear, and then drive 3 hours back to the house praying I got good footage so I won't have to drive 3 hours and hike 3 miles to shoot it again.
Does anyone have a way to view AVCHD video on an iPad that does not require converting it on a computer first?

Hello,
If your iPad air is wifi connected, you can use some app video player like Oplayer, and some video converter tools, like avchd converter, wich is 30X faster than general video converter.

Will iPad play AVCHD lite video

Hello!
I am planning on getting a 3G iPad and camera kit and I have a iPhone 3GS and a Lumix ZS3 camera that shoots video in AVCHD lite, will the iPad be able to play back the video clips from my camera?
Thanks so much for your time!

Avchd files directly to iPad

I travel with a sony a35 camera and would like to transfer avchd files directly to the iPad.

I went crazy too after I bought iMac specifically for editing HD video... These are my suggestions:
- Import movies directly from a camera or archive. When you have SD card full, copy all contents to hard drive to make an archive.
- Convert existing .mts files to something recognizable to iMovie
If you do upper mentioned points, iMovie will edit your movies. If your camera shoots in interlaced format, you will loose the vertical resolution (= your videos will not be smooth). I hate this. So my finals solutions are 2:
1. Install Ubuntu in Parallels or Virtualbox and use Kdenlive software. Great software...
2. Install Windows in Parallels or Virtualbox and use Sony Vegas.
Both solutions will edit .mts directly in interlaced format and you can export to anything. I like to export to
fullHD interlaced format and then to SD quality (for DVD), still in interlaced format. This makes great results.
I hope it helps. I needed half a year to figure everything out.

How can I use an iPad Mini as a external display for any new Vixia Series Camcorder?

Hey Everyone,
I've worked with Vixia's previously and am looking to purchace one of my own, a G20 or G30 most likely.
I'm very interested in using an iPad Mini as an external display and wondering if anyone has had luck with this.
Cheers and thank you!

do you mean you want to play your videos from your Vixia camcorder on your iPad mini? Well, that may be a little difficut. Because the video came from your camera may not be a very friendly format.
Here you can try install VLC on your iPad mini , VLC should support AVCHD (*.MTS) natively.
If this can't work, then find yourself a free converter;
Handbrake, Any video converter ,ffMPEG etc.
If this can't wrok , or the output quality is jerky.
try this one free mts/m2ts converter from pav, I used it and considered to update it.

I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?

I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
thanks!

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

How can I watch 1920x1080 60p video in the iPad?

Background - I recently purchased a Sony Camcorder. It records in AVCHD format 1920x1080 60p. I have converted the AVCHD format to .mov using clip wrap but I cannot sync the file to my iPad 3 with iTunes probably because the iPad can only play up to 30 fps and this video is in 60 fps. I can record in a lower quality mode of 1440x1080 30 fps but the quality is significantly less. Is there a way to make this compatible somehow to play on the iPad? Maybe convert it from 60 fps to 30? I know there must be a way. I have a 3rd party app called Filebrowser and when I play the .mov 1920x1080 60p file directly from the source (my MacBook) it plays it on the iPad and the quality is incredible. Only problem is that since it is streaming the iPad can't stream fast enough to play it without pausing every 5 seconds. If my camera could record in 1920x1080 30p I wouldn't have this issue but for some reason Sony doesn't allow this. I chose Sony because the video is significantly better than Canon, Nikon and other brands. Does someone please have a suggestion? I have been researching for hours so if there is another forum post that explains I am sorry I could not find it and I have a migraine from searching. I am definitely an amateur at best trying to get great quality home video on my retina display iPad. What good does the retina display do if I have to watch mediocre video quality. Any help is appreciated. Regards.

Hi,
I too would like to know the answer to your question. I don't thnk the answer you got was what you were looking for. I would go to the Digital Vdeo Infrmation Network forums and ask there about which is the best software to convert 60p to 30p. I don't remember off hand how exactly to do it. But it is a little complecated as I recall. People over there will be more than helpful.
I took 720p 60fps footage when I should have taken 30p footage with my Canon 60D camera.
I just hope that in the next IOS6 update that we will be able to import 60d footage. But I am not holding my breath.
I can't see why 60D footage would not be possible on the ipad3. It is the same amount of data bits. 1280x720 60p vs 1920x1080 30p.

IPad as Container for Video-Files?

I want to save my AVCHD and Quicktime Movies of my Nikon D7000 on my iPad 2 during my holidays. And I want to hav a look on the videos. Is it possible? Is thera a special App for this?

Hi Mattia 13,
I understand what you're asking for but unfortunately the answer is no, Premiere Pro does not have an easy tool to do what you're asking for, which is a real shame since it's a very common editing situation.
I've requested such a tool years ago but most requests for intelligent additions to Premiere seem to fall on deaf ears at Adobe.
What I requested was this: an intrinsic 'Crop' tool that appears above the intrinsic Motion settings in the Effect Controls Window. This would give users an intelligent and easy way of cropping the dimentions of the 'window' or 'frame' through which the clip could be freely positioned, resized, rotated, etc. You can achieve the same result by using the Track Matte effect, but it's far far more work than the solution I suggested to Adobe, since years later, the Track Matte effect remains broken, and thus requires nested sequences to get it to work the way you suggest.
The best thing to do is send you Feature Request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish and pray that Adobe will listen.

I have surround sound with my LCD TV. Will my new iPad into an HDML connection be able transmit surround sound via Utube, iTunes or whatever?

I have surround sound with my LCD TV. Will my new iPad into HDML connection and Utube, iTunes etc. produce surround sound?

ATV definitely supports AC3 DD 5.1... etc, but definately not through AirPlay, only streamed through the inet.
I also found, in the case of Netflix, that the AC3 is preserved in the highest bandwidth mode but not available in the lowest. (frankly i did not test the intermediate bandwidth)
I was quite pleased with the sound and picture from Netflix.
I am not so patiently waiting for AirPlay to support AC3 DD or DDPlus because I record my home video in %.1 surround (AVCHD) and can preserve it through Final Cut Pro and DVD or Red Laser, but cannot use the intended cable replacement (AirPlay) to play them.
Bummer..
I think/hope if more people request surround sound via AirPlay Apple may then follow through on this otherwise good idea.
FWIW

HT5409 can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop

Ihave download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??

Ihave download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??
Are you going to give us any additional clues as to what you are really asking here?
1) The "HT5409" in your subject title reference implies you are dealing with AVCHD content. If true, then how did you transfer them to your iPad and how did you transfer them from your iPad to your your MacBook Air platform? As the HT409 topic clearly stated, this can be very important. In addition, how are the files stored? For instance , have you extracted the MPEG-4 AVC content as transport streams or is the content still in the device recorded file form? Are you trying to edit the content or convert it to M4V, MP4, or MOV files directly?
2) The "can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop" part of your subject title is confusing. Yes, AVCHD files can be converted to simpler MPEG-4 AVC content that is compatible with all current and most older Mac computers and Apple mobile devices in MOV, MP4, and/or M4V file formats. However, how you do this will depend on the current form of the data and the target settings you wish to employ to ensure compatibility with the various target device possibilities. Further, non-AVCHD content (e.g., HD iPad video recordings) can also be downconverted to simpler settings in a similar manner if needed or required if that is your questing.
3) Depending on your operating system, both AVCHD and MPEG-4 AVC content should already be compatible with QT X v10.2 and v10.3 players if properly transferred to your laptop from the recording device. And, even if improperly transferred, may still be converted to useable/compatible formats as long as the file itself has not been corrupted by your, as yet, unspecified workflow.
4) What does "will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed" mean here? Are you trying to play an AVCHD movie in the QT 7 player or one of the QT X players? If the latter, which one? Are you getting any error message? If so, what are they? If not playing in your main user account on the computer, does it play useing a different account? Do the files play in other, third-party multimedia players?
Basically, your question is the equivalent of my saying my car won't start but failing to mention whether or not I am out of gas, my battery is dead, or that I have removoed the distributor cap, wires, or spark plugs from the engine. To properly solve the issue we need all possible information that you can provide describing exactly what you are doing, how you are doing it, what is not working as your expect it should, and what your goals are. In cases where you cannot answer such questions, it is often helpful to simply post/upload a sample "problem" file and let other users here examine it to determine the problem and/or suggest a specific solution for your particular system/configuration combination.
