How do I get mp4 videos to play in Dropbox on iPad2?

Dropbox and converting video files is new stuff for me, so this may be something simple I am missing.  I converted 3gp videos to mp4 videos and copied them into my Dropbox on my PC.  As expected, the videos showed up in my Dropbox on my iPad2.  When I went to play the mp4 videos on the iPad, I got the same message as I did with the 3gp videos--"enable flash".  Obviously, something is wrong.  How do I get these mp4 files to play?
The mp4 videos also had a narrower frame, making the people in the video look skinny.  Is that typical when you convert the 3gp file to mp4?
Thanks for your help and support.

  • TS1967 How do I get MP4 videos to play on my ipod?

    I recently got a sd card from an amusement park with videos of me on a zipline but when I went to load them on my Ipod they would not load because it would not support the MP4 format. How do I get my Ipod to accept that format?

    You do not.  Instead you convert the videos to a format that can be played on the iPod.

  • How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together?

    How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together so both are playing side by side on screen at the same time? 

    Welcome to the forum.
    As Steve observes, what you are talking about is called "PiP," or Picture in Picture.
    He has given you the basics of creating a "split-screen" PiP, and that should be exactly what you wish to do.
    For more detail, plus more ways to do PiP, I strongly recommend his book, Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11, from Muvipix. He has an entire chapter (Chapter 10) on PiP, and many of its uses, with detailed instructions on the settings to accomplish it. Just that one chapter is worth the price of the book.
    Good luck, and happy editing,

  • How do i get music videos to play like the music does on my ipad, for example one right after another and shuffle

    I need to know how I can get the music videos on my IPad to play like the music does.  What I mean id setting up a playlist, shuffle, and have them play one right after another instead of going back to the main screen.

    At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
    If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

  • How do i get my video to play

    i downloaded a video which is in avi. fomat but my mac only plays 3 sec of the video how do i get it to play the hold thing

    Hi Patman, how big is your file if it only couple MB, then it could be a partial "preview" with short duration. You might have to login to the sites as member to watch or download the whole thing.
    Here is link about Quick time and AVI:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93199
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/avidivx.html
    You can also try to use Quick Time Pro ($29.99) that allowed you to download supported format video file from the site:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/StoreReentry. wo?productLearnMore=D3380Z/A
    And flip4mac that mentioned by Craig Brady is for playing WMV & WMA (window media file) using quicktime:

  • How do I get Mp4 files to play in FMS?

    I have the FMS working with .flv files but I can't seem to get .mp4 or any other format file to play using it?

    Are you by chance using sub-folders under the VOD app?  That was the mistake I made.  Example:

  • How can I disable .mp4 videos from playing automatically on Yahoo News? (and elsewhere)

    I posted a similar question last week about disabling html5 videos and that seems to have worked. But I notice that when I look at the Yahoo News main page, some videos (thumbnails) are playing automatically as I'm scrolling up and down the page. I find that annoying, distracting, and is probably consuming data on my limited plan.
    I see other questions posted about .mp4, but those are all how to PLAY rather than NOT play videos.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • How can I get SD video to play fullscreen at 1080p resolution

    In iTunes on OSX, if I click the full screen button, iTunes will take over the monitor, but it does not scale the video to use the full resolution like Hulu or Netflix do for their fullscreen video.  Instead I get a 640x480 box in the middle of the screen with black bars on all four sides.  Is there an option that I can't find to make iTunes upconvert?

    If the Denon shows in airplay mirroring you can just turn on mirroring and get the sound.  Otherwise try System Preferences -> Sound -> Output and choose the Denon there. Any system sound will play through the airplay device.  I don't know why apple doesn't just give an airplay option from the menu bar sound icon to make this easier.... seems like they are pushing people to mirror

  • How can I get flash videos to play

    When I bought this iPad I had no idea that I wouldn't be able to watch most of the videos I want to watch.  Is there any way to get flash without paying for a new web browser program?

    Can you name some apps that I have to buy?  I don't know where to start.
    "Puffin" comes to mind.  I think it's only a couple of dollars, but I can tell you that you won't be happy with the Flash video that runs through this browser.  Too much overhead or something. It stutters and freezes.
    Waste of time and money IMHO. 
    The "security" excuse is a bit thin.  Flash works great on my MBP and as far as I know, on all the the other Apple computers.  Jobs had decided that it will not be supported on the iPad, the iPhone, and the iTouch.
    Personally I could care less.
