How to play mp4 files on ipad2

I imported photos and videos from Sony digital camera to ipad2, I opened the photos but couldn't open the video, it's mp4 files, how can I open and watch on ipad2?

The only way to get content into the Music app is via iTunes store downloads or syncing with itunes on a computer. You will need to find a third party media player such as VLC (whick integrates with DropBox and GoogleDrive, if that appeals to you).

  • Looking for some info on how to play music files on IPAD2

    Hi and thanks for sharing.  Trying to figure out how to play sound files such as wavs or mp3s on my ipad2 while I browse the internet or use my computer.  I was trying to see if the music feature will play my songs or if I can import downloaded files from the net to itunes and if that will play in the background.  I have an audio program that can send sound files to email and was trying to figure out how, similarly, to get this play in the background while I do things too.  That and sound files downloaded from the internet.   Do these go to iCloud when you download them?  Can I import sounds into itunes with my iPad someway.  (It's the only computer or device I own).   Basically looking for a pathway to get music from my audio program that's sent to email, and clips I've DLed off sites on the internet, to play while I use the pad or browse the net.  Thanks for your intel on the mission.   Cheers!

  • How to play MP4 files in Video Display compoenent?

    Hello,
    I am facing probelm with playing MP4 H.264 format 16/9 format in VideoDisplay compoenent on mobile devices.
    I had tried with VideoDisplay and MP4 files from local storage as well as server located mp4 but
    on player UI shows that playhead tip is moving - but black screen, no sound.
    I am able to play! But the same file I am able to play with VLC player. Let me know what are the restrictions for playing video files...
    I had tried as follows :
    <s:VideoDisplay id="video"
            autoDisplayFirstFrame="true" autoPlay="true"
            source="http://10.15.20.147/video.mp4"/>
    I will be very thankful if somebody can help me out?
    With Regards,

    if it is only happening with server side videos it can be a cross-domain policy issue, you can take alook  here for more information;

  • Nokia n85 not playing MP4 files

    Hi,
    I never used the video podcasts, well I just tried to use some nokia video podcasts and they were in MP4 format. To my surprise my phone says it can not play the format and so it just played it as the audio file. I was reading at GSMArena.com and looks like N85 does support MP4 files.
    Can any one help me on this? How can I play MP4 files on my phone?
    Thanks,
    Harpreet
    N85
    Software ver: 30.019
    RM-334

    Well, podcasts are mainly encoded in AVC@640x360 or 480x320. N85 plays AVC only at 320x240 resolution or lower. It has nothing to do with the container, in this case .mp4.

    how to play 3GP files on iphone4?

    VLC is also a converter, but you'll encounter some issue when you use it to convert 3GP to MP4.
    The wisest choice to convert 3GP to MP4 for playback on most popular players and devices is using a professional 3GP to MP4 Converter.

    I thought itunes would play MP4 files, but I got the error -2048, what does this error mean??? with Xp OS

    Yes you'll likely need to re-rip the album to your iPod.
    How many songs are reported in your iTunes library?
    When you said you selected your entire iTunes library and made sure they were not set to skip when shuffling, how exactly did you do that? 
    There seems to be a missing piece of information here that would help explain the differences in numbers.

    Btw, the other 2 n73 phones that you used to play the video must have a new firmware, yours is too old!!
    You mean the latest FW lets N73 to play DIVX video files without installing any 3rd party software like smartmovie?

  • Playing mp4 files on iPad

    Hi All, this a desperate cry for help before I finally junk my new iPad: I am currently enrolled in an online program running on the Adobe Connect platform. The multimedia files (mp4, pdf etc) can not play on the iPad despite several attempts. Any explanation to this and suggestion on what to do?

    You need an app to play those files....I am pretty sure. I play mp4 videos just fine on the app Goodplayer...the older version! The currently available Goodplayer app may not play mp4 files, since they had a dispute (exhorbitant fees) with Dolby, who banned their software use on Goodplayer and several other apps. I understand that there is an app available at the app store that has Dolby software, in that they collaborate with Dolby in some way. Be sure to check capabilities and limitations before you buy any such app. I don't know about pdf files.

  • How to play video files that are in Drop box on iPod?

    How to play video files that are in Drop box on iPod?

    I am going to have to write a technote about this, because it comes up a lot.
    Flash Player itself is designed to play SWF content as a browser plugin or as an ActiveX control (when it's IE Windows).
    There is a standalone Flash Player, but that's something Adobe  provides directly as a feature of Flash CS4 Professional. It gets installed with Flash. We have made some standalone players available on http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, but not all (and I don't know why.  Looking into it)
    There are numerous 3rd party standalone SWF players out there though.  Some designed to just play video, others that play full SWF. I suggest a google search of 'play SWF standalone' and read the results.
    On the Mac, consumers who want to play SWF content off their desktop can use the Adobe Media Player. You can import a local SWF (and FLV and other video) and play it in AMP.  Get it here:

    That's Mac only, doesn't work on Windows.

  • Front Row won't play .mp4 files

    I just recently started using Front Row and, for some reason, it won't play .mp4 files. The said files are in my Movie folder and show up in Front Row's "Movies" menu, but when I try to play them it says "Selected video could not be played, format was not recognized."
    Please help!!

    iTunes only supports MP4s encoded using the Main Profile, but many MP4s that you can download from the web are encoded using High Profile. These need to be converted.
    You can use an app like VideoSpec or MediaInfo to list the encoding characteristics of your MP4s.

    how to transfer mp4 file to iphone 5c?

    The codec of the .mp4 file should be H.264 or MPEG-4.
    If you think it’s difficult to understand, you can use the iPhone PC Suite to transfer the .mp4 file to your iPhone 5c. The software will automatically convert the video file to iPhone supported format before transfer.
