Correct video encoding settings to play on ipad?

Here's the settings that my dvd ripper (iskysoft) used to convert a home movie DVD to an "apple TV" format file
file type: .mp4
format: xvid
resolution: 512 x 384
frame rate: 24
bit rate 1500
This file plays fine on the apple tv and itunes, but not on my ipad. It will sync and transfer but when I try to play it on the ipad the video is all messed up.
I tried using the "convert to apple tv/ipad format" but itunes said it was already in the correct settings.
What specific setting do I need to use to convert this file so it will play on my ipad?

These are the required specs.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format.
I use HandBrake which includes default Apple product settings such as iPod with Video, iPhone, Apple TV, and it includes a Universal setting.
Some have reported that using the Handbrake Apple TV setting works, but some have reported it doesn't. I haven't read any reports about the HandBrake Universal setting not working with the iPad.

How do I get the videos on msnbc to play on IPad ?

How do I get the videos on msnbc to play. I get a message that says video will play not but sometime the audio will play . I thinking that I am overlooking something in the settings.
I have had the videos working in the past, and I am not trying to run flash. Problem surface when I rebooted the iPad.

Balance? Seriously? No serious person can say that hardcore lefties like Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Larry O'Donnel and Rev. Al are balanced. They are opinion show masquerading as news programs. The public isn't fooled, and MSNBC's rating show it.
Anyway, the Fox News app is very good and always works with video, audio, and slide shows. Worth a look if you are seeking a mulitmedia news app.

Preview Live Video Encoding Settings

I am working with an AS2 application that was put together a while back. The app is used to publish a live video stream to FMS. I am using the Camera class to connect to a local camera (Camera.get()) and to setup the encoding specs for the stream that is to be published to FMS. To preview the camera signal, I am using Video.attachVideo() to attach that camera output to a Video instance on the stage. This is all working greta for me.
But here's the thing. The video stream that is being pumped to the Video instance is the direct signal from the camera. Nice and clean. I seem to remember that there is a way to view the video signal with the encoding settings applied to it. It's just one little line of code, if I remember correctly. However, I can't seem to find the code that will do that.
Can anyone quickly share the code that will allow me to preview the encoded video stream?

How do I determine correct media encoder settings for Blu-Ray

I am successfully producing Hi Def Blu-Ray disks by using one of the presets available in Premiere media encoder. Actually using the HDTV 1080i 25 High Quality setting. They playback in beautiful high definition but I think I was just lucky. I would really like to know what determines the setting I should use.
1. I live in Australia so I assume PAL.
2. My camera is a Sony HDV. HCR HC9 1440 x 1080i. I assume this is irrelevant to export encoding settings for Blu-Ray.
3. The export encoder preset has field order set to Upper. I would have thought I should either match the project settings which is interlaced to match my camera and project. OR more likely I should match the audience TV which would be a widesceen plama or LCD TV. I dont know if these TVs are interlaced or progressive. OR is it more a question of what field order the Blu-Ray player expects me to send on the disk?
4. I will play on a TV 1920 x 1080 pixel capable and on slightly lower resoultion widescreens. The encoder preset is for 1920 x 1080 so I assume that's ok for all widescreen TVs even lower definition ones.
As you can tell I am a learner. Any suggested links to basic reading on the subject would help me.

PS Put this item in wrong forum previously.

Since no response I've been searching and found the following.
When encoding to make a Blu-Ray disk from my HDV 1080i footage:
1. Tell encoder the source is 1080i That is interlaced and it's TOP field first for HDV footage.
2. Tell it to encode to 1440 x 1080 resolution. You could tell it 1920 x 1080 but it will take much longer to encode. Will be good but why bother. All BD players will automatically up the 1440 to 1902 full screen.
3. Beware, not all players support BD-R and BD-RE recordable disks.
Seems Panasonic is good. Samsung probably good. Sony and Sharp probably not able to read (yet).
4. All players read MPEG-2 compression and H264 compression. Use a bit rate of 25 Mbps for MPEG-2 encode or 18 Mbps for equivalent result in H264 encode. Can use higher rates. These are minimums for a very good result
5. One pass encode is pretty damn good but use two pass if you have the time to wait for the encode.

Epub, video won't auto play on ipad

Hi everyone
I've exported a fixed layout epub from Indesign CC which contains a number of videos set to auto play
Running the epub in ibooks on my desktop has the intended result, the videos auto play on page load as expected.
However, when I play the epub in ibooks on an iPad the videos will not auto play and instead load the first frame and a play button.
Has anyone encountered this issue?
Cheers
Chris

IPad Full Screen Video Encode Settings

This seems like such a basic question but I can't seem to find it.
I want to transcode a video to play in 1024x768, which is the dimension of the iPad. However one of the presets in AME (CS6) for either Apple or iPad have this setting. What are people doing for full screen playback ?

This preset exists in AME CC but not in AME CS6. It's easy to create your own custom preset for this size however, just open one of the iPad presets set to 1280 x 720, change the frame size to 1024 x 768 and save a copy.

Converting MP4 video to download and play on ipad Air

I have a few MP4 videos that I want to download to my ipad Air and show as my video portfolio.
I have researched this and there are so many answers but none seem to work. (tried like 4 of them already and still choppy video!)
I can't seem to find the right format to convert the videos so they work!
My import settings on itunes are : AAC Encoder: iTunesPlus (128kbps (mono)/256kbps (stereo), 44.100 Khz VBR optimized for MMX/SSE2)
I have VLC to convert the videos to m4v format but when I load them into itunes and then into my ipad, they show but the playback is choppy and no audio.
If anyone out there can give me the right formula to use in my VLC converter I would appreciate it:
Encapsulation- MP4/MOV
Video-
Codec: H.264
Bitrate: ?
Frame Rate: ?
Resolution: Width: 1280 or 720?
Height: ?
Audio-
Codec: MPEG 4 Audio (AAC)? or MPEG Audio?
Bitrate: 128?
Channels: 2?
Samplerate: 44100 or 48000?

I am having the same issue using VLC 2.1.3 - video conversion from mpg to mp4 won't play in Quicktime and are choppy when played back on my iPad Air. I don't use iTunes to upload but access them directly with FileBrowser App.

Video purchases won't play on ipad

I've purchased approximately 10 shows on my Ipad and experiences an interuption in the download. When I tried to continue the download the system told me that the content in unavailable. This is frustrating since I paid for the videos for my kids for a roadtrip. Is there a way to recover these downloads. The help on the apple site brought me the to same unavailble message.
Thanks

Video Encoding Settings

For the PSPware users, what are your settings to get the most optimal viewing/listening pleasure from your converted mpegs?
Mine is currently on 4:3 and both video/audio quality is at max. However, when I playback the file, I notice that the sound is clipping at the higher frequencies..

How do I get embedded videos in Keynote to play on iPad Keynote?

I've created a presentation with Quicktime video clip on my iMac desktop and imported it for use on my iPad. This is done through iTunes and has worked before, but the message shows that the media did not transfer. When trying to show it from Keynote on the iPad, it won't work. I'm wondering whether finally connecting ot the prject would work, but that doesn't seem logical. Any tips will be of help.

If you have a 6G Nano, then no, it does not support video playback.

Error message this video can not be played on iPad using you tube

Why do I get this error message when using you tube and how can I solve it. It just started happening recently.

There are a few possibilities I can think of.
A) file names are too long. What is "too long" for an iPod? I don't know, you'd have to experiment, but some people with outrageously long file names were unable to sync the file over.
B) Something in your conversion settings is incorrect. The iPod is pretty specific in what it will accept.
http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html
--this seems unlikely if you've used the iPod defaults in each of the programs you've tried.
C) Are you certain that you are asking iTunes to sync the iPod-compatible videos to the iPod and not the original videos? In other words, you've converted your videos, removed the originals from iTunes and imported the converted videos into iTunes to sync to your iPod. The original videos and the converted videos might have the same name.
D) various strange problems happen when updating iPod firmware and/or iTunes. If you've done the 5 R's (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/), then you may need to consider downgrading the iPod software and/or iTunes. Remember that in the 5 R's, "Restore" deletes your content, so be sure to have a backup of your iPod content. I believe downgrading firmware will also require erasing your iPod, too.

Flash video - best settings

I want to find out what the best practice is in creating a
flash video from
an edited video clip for use on the web.
I have edited a video clip down to 5 minutes and have
rendered it to an .avi
file. I then imported the .avi into Flash and have encoded
using:
1. Progressive download
2. On2 VP6
3. 15fps frame rate
4. Medium quality
5. Video size 320x213 (213 comes up when I set width to 320
and maintain
aspect ratio)
6. Audio data rate - 16 kbps
This all works and the quality is fine when I insert the
flash video into
Dreamweaver, but the file size it over 16mb and I've seen
that other people
have file sizes that are 1/2 that for 5 minute videos.
What can I do better and still maintain quality?
Does it matter whether I render as .avi, .mpg, or other?
Should my Flash video encoding settings be different?
Thanks
Susan

Thanks Jose. That was very helpful. I wasn't able to get it
down to 8 mb,
but did but was able to cut down the file size to something
more reasonable
without loss of quality.
Good idea also about testing with a short video clip.

Need advice on encode settings for Premiere file to be played back on DVD

Hi - hoping someone can help me with my encoding settings. I seem to be on the right track because everything looks good until you play the video on DVD.
I use Windows Movie Maker to encode my exports to DVD. This software does not accept MP4 but it seems to accept a variety of other files and one is WMV. I first exported a WMV clip from Premiere at 1920x1080 (the raw video and graphics are also in that size). Then I exported another WMV clip to 1280x720. I just wanted to see what both of them look like on a DVD during play back.
Here are the export settings:
Here is what the1280 WMV looks like when it's played back on my desktop computer in Windows Media player. As you'll see everything looks very clean:
I then imported the 2 WMV clips into Windows Movie Maker, selected the 16:9 settings, and it encoded them into a finished DVD. I then played the DVD back on my 50 inch TV in my living room. Below you'll see a photo I took of the 1920 clip; notice how the text looks jagged:
Then the photo below of the 1280 clip looks much cleaner.
But obviously I'd like for the finished DVDs to look if possible even cleaner than the 1280 photo above - hopefully like it looks in the photo of the WMV playing back on my computer. These videos will be distributed to different local offices.
Are my WMV settings correct? Should I export to other than WMV? How can I improve on the 1280 DVD photo above so everything looks even cleaner (if possible)? I have Adobe Encore - should I use that instead of Movie Maker?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

A DVD is 720x480 so anything larger must be scaled down to be legal according to the DVD specification
