IPad 2 SD Card and mp4 video

Hi,
I know before a the 4.2.1 upgrade people had been able to play .mp4 created on a computer on their iPad but that post the upgrade it didn't work. I have tried to search but can't see if anyone has found a way around the issue post the upgrade?
Is there anyway to create an .mp4 or similar that looks to the iPad like it came from a camera that it will play it? Surely it should be possible to manipulate and make work?
Would make life a lot easier for me when travelling if it can be done.
Regards,
David

I have both mp4 and m4v videos that work fine on my iPad. However I ran them through Handbreak to convert them to parameters that are specific to the iOS. Then I imported them into iTunes. Once in iTunes I highlighted each one, right clicked and choose Get Info. Then in the Option pane I made sure to set the Media Kind as Movie. They all get synced with my other Movies and play in the Video app.

As an alternative you can also install VLC on your iPad and play videos. Associating files with VLC is different. Do not add the videos to iTunes, just store them on your computer. Attach your iPad to the computer and highlight it in iTunes. In the Apps pane scroll to the bottom to File Sharing and highlight VLC. Press the Add button and browse on your computer to the location of your stored videos and select the ones that you want. On a Mac you can add them in a batch by pressing & holding the Command key and then selecting the ones you want. Once they have been linked to VLC and copied to your iPad they appear in VLC when you open the app.
If you did not get VLC for the iOS during the short period it was in the iTunes App Store for free, here is a link to download it. After you have it downloaded, drag & drop its icon onto the iTunes icon to install it as an app in iTunes. Then sync it to your iPad.

  • ITunes 11 deletes newly added m4v and mp4 video files!

    I'm really loathing the new iTunes for a number of reasons.. but this one really takes the cake!
    When I try to add an M4V or MP4 video file, iTunes deletes the file and does not add it to the library!
    I never had any issues with 10.7.. and seeing as there is no way of reverting back that I can find.. any help in how to solve this... or is this one of those wonder new "feature's" I now have to contend with?
    Thanks

    Are you frustrated that whether you drag and drop your video files to iTunes 11, or add video files from “Add files to Libray” or “Add folder to Libray”, nothing is imported even though the files are in iTunes 11 supported MP4, MOV or M4V video format.
    If iTunes 11 won’t import MP4, MOV or M4V, first make sure your install QuickTime Player. Even though you hire VLC or Perian or any other media player to take care of your video playback instead of QuickTime, you still need to install QuickTime in order to add video to iTunes 11 for transfer to iPad, iPod, iPhone or Apple TV.
    f you install QuickTime player but still can’t add MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11, there is no other solution but to convert MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11 supported video MP4.
    Visit the Step-by-Step Guide on how to successfully import all kinds of MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11
    The guide also applies to import AVI, WMV, MKV, etc to iTunes 11.

  • I can't import .mov and .mp4 videos into Lightroom 5? Why?

    I'm not able to import videos (iPhone) into Lightroom 5. I've tried .mov and .mp4. Is there a cause/fix for this?

    I've no idea the cause, nor a proper fix.
    But here is a possible interim solution:
    'Import Any Videos' script (free, by me):
    robcole.com - MiscLrScripts
    It just re-encodes (or re-wraps) the video into a format that Lr likes, which you can do without the script if you have the tools and the know-how..

  • Use PCI-e video card and onboard video at same time

    This is going to be really annoying if i cant use both at the same time. I am trying to get 3 monitors running and want to use the onboard display port or vga port alongside my PCI-E video card and it seems in the bios that only one can work at a time. I am assuming this means i have to use a PCI card with my PCI-e one to get more than the 2 i have at a time.
    Has anyone gotten onboard working alongside a PCI or PCI-E card? Seems like a silly thing to not enable in the Board as businesses have a need for more than 2 sometimes.
    Any assistance would be great.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 Trial Version  - Error when importing mts and mp4 video files

    First time using Adobe Premiere Pro (and I'm using the trial version).  When I try to import an mts video file (and tried to import an mp4 file as well), I get the error: Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 has stopped working.  And then the program crashes. Please help.
    My computer specs: Windows 7 with Service Pack 1,Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.2GHz, RAM: 4.00 GB, System type: 64-bit

    Hi Catherine,
    Welcome to the Adobe forums.
    Please try the steps mentioned below and check if it works for you.
    1. Launch Premiere Pro and create a Project, go to File menu>Project Settings>Renderer and change the Renderer to Software only mode, delete previews if you get a prompt and then try to import the clip.
    2. If step 1 fails or the Renderer is already on Software only mode, go to Start Menu and search for Device Manager, go into Display Adapters and Right click on the Graphics card to select Update driver software option, on the next screen choose "Browse my computer for driver software", then choose "Let me Pick from a list..." option and from the list select "Standard VGA Graphics adapters. You might need to change the screen resolution of your screen and once done restart the machine again.
    Launch Premiere Pro and import the clip to check.
    Regards,

  • Apple TV and MP4 videos

    I have a number of video clips that I have taken with a Sanyo VPC-HD1a Xacti. The clips are in MP4 format. However when I import them into iTunes and attempt to synchronise to my Apple TV I get a message saying that not all videos were synchronised because the file format is not supported.
    According to the Apple TV specification it is supposed to support MP4 format video files.
    Can anyone any useful tips to get round this problem?
    Regards
    David

    I thought HandBrake had a file import option but I haven't used it in a while so I could be mistaken.
    Yes that's correct, but I believe it only imports files from a video-ts folder.

  • IPad 2 slow and choppy video streaming and buffering- help!

    My new iPad 2 is taking forever to play videos on you tube, email, anywhere. Unusable basically. I changed the DNS to 208 but that didn't help. Every other Mac device works fine, including my iPad 1- I have a 64 wi-fi + AT & T 3G original and 2-is this a lemon machine or is Apple doing something about this because it's happening to many? Any solutions or input appreciated.

    Hi Joni S,
    how do I find out what version of Adobe Flash Player I have?
    To find the version double click your HD icon. When it opens select your HD and then in the resulting finder window search for "flash" (no quotes). In the resulting list look for FlashPlayer.plugin. Click on it once to highlight and then do a Get Info command + i or from the File Menu>Get Info. In the resulting pane look for the version. The latest for 10.3.9 is Adobe Flash Player 9.0.
    hope that helps,

  • Sunpci3 card and XP video problems

    I recently installed three pci3 boards into three sparc 150 machines. After install of the software and install of XP professional I encountered a problem. When XP loads, the desktop background (grassy hills) appears, but you can't see anything else. Everything is there because if you know where to click you can do so and see the hourglass appear and the screen do something, BUT the only thing that will ever be visible in the pci3 window itself will be the background. Basically I can't see anything but the background. If I start XP in safe mode OR if I start it in VGA mode, I can see and do everything. In safe mode, it looks normal, it's just slow. In VGA mode, the screen actually looks funny (like VGA), but I can't control the mouse at that point. I even installed more RAM in the system to bring me to 1Gig thinking that would work, but no such luck.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I am at a loss and don't want to have to purchase $2500 in KVM switches. Thanks in advance.

    Yes same here.
    The stutters are dreadful and sound keeps going of and on.
    This is a Smart phone, But so far my K700 which is over 2 years old is smarter.
    I just dont understand why, Nokia if you are reading this then please fix in your next firmware, Real Player is either Rubbish or the phone some how cant transfer the data / details over fast enough.
    On some occasions opening up a video can take the phone over a 1min which i then think the phone has crashed.
    Its like my computer when running more than 1 programme at a time, They start to stutter.

  • I want to store movies on an SD disk, watch them on the way to Europe, then use the chip to record photos in my camera.  I can't get the iPad mini to recognize the videos I've recorded.

    I want to store movies on an SD disk, watch them on the way to Europe, then use the chip to record photos in my camera.  I can't get the iPad mini to recognize the videos I've recorded.

    I'm a bit lost - you first say
    "The only file(s) I can sometimes get it to recognize are the ones shot with a camera onto an SD card"
    then you say
    " If I take an unused SD card and record video with my camera, it will see, and import the file to the Photo app."
    In the first statement, aren't you using an SD card in the camera?  And what do you mean by "unused SD card"?    Cameras put their files in specific folders on a card, and your device only reads photos and video from those folders, not from anywhere else on the card.

  • Macbook Pro Retina and Yosemite Video Corruption?

    So I have a Macbook Pro Retina (mid 2012), 2.7ghz i7, 16gb ram, which has the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB video card and integrated video.  I am running Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10
    I have been experiencing a lot of video corruption in different applications, it doesn't seem to be limited to just one application or two -- it is happening in Safari, Mail, Photoshop, and others.
    I am attaching screen shots to show:
    Here is a video when it decides to flash weird video garble:
    Link to video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8RAyj9L_nQ
    Has anyone experienced this same problem?  is there an official name or description for what is going on?  Is there a fix?  It is quite frustrating. 

    I have the same problem with my older white Apple Wireless Extended Keyboard, which had been working fine with my 2009 iMac. But I experience the issue sporadically with my new Mac Mini. I've read reports of people resolving some BT issues by turning off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" in the Advanced pane of the Bluetooth System Preferenes Pane.
    There are also people having the issue on iOS devices using various Apple BT keyboards. No help, but interesting to note that it's happening across various devices, keyboard models, and OSs.

    Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
    If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

  • Download mp4 videos to iPad and play in Flash Builder

    Hi,
    Is it possible through an AIR iOS app to download mp4 video files from a web server and save them on an iPad?  These files would also be played on the iPad using the same app offline. If it is any code help would be very appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Mike

    Try playing it with free OPlayerHD Lite.

  • 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.

  • Lightning auf SD Kartenlesegerät können hiermit mp4 Videos auf ipad übertragen und angeschauen werden?

    Lightning auf sd Kartenlesegerät: können hiermit auvh mp4 Videos auf ipad übertragen und angeschaut werden.
    Oder können nur über eine Camera aufgenommene Videos übertragen und angesehen werden?

    In the past (I haven't tried it recently) I've used the camera kit to copy an MP4 film via an SD card to the iPad's Photos app and been able to play it on the iPad, but a film bought from iTunes didn't play (you can't copy content to the Videos app via the kit). Also the SD card needs to have a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the videos (and/or photos) underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus file extension.

  • How can I get an mp4 video running on iPad Mini?

    How can I get an mp4 video running on iPad Mini, which is already in the iTunes File?

    Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 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 per channel, 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
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
