IPad sending videos always as if external screen were 4:3

iPad admits videos that are decent to be watched on HDTV sets. iPhone requires videos to be smaller (iOS 4.xx).
However, iPad INSISTS on considering—using the Apple Component cable—that the output is going to a 4:3 set, and not a 16:9 or Widescreen, as is my case. Thus, in order to watch the video properly one must set the HTVC set to ZOOM, so that 16:9 movies do occupy 100% of the screen area.
This MUST be a bug, since the iPhone (3GS with iOS 4.xxx) does NOT behave like that. It considers the output screen to be WideScreen (as set accordingly) and shows the videos correctly. Of course, coming from the iPhone, they are lower quality.
My iPad is set to output to a Widescren HDTV. However, using the Component cable (3 Video RGB and 2 audio, left and right) it always transforms the image as if it were being sent to a 4:3 screen. This has got to be a bug! Please, whoever needs to pay attention to this, do it soon!
Thanks,

As far as I'm aware this is not a bug and the way Apple have designed the output of the iPad. Unless Apple decide to change the way the out put works you're stuck with the way it is.

Youtube app videos always start in full screen

Is there a way to make the videos in the Youtube app start in normal mode, not in full screen?

Even when the app is in portrait mode, the video starts in full screen mode. I use the ipad in landscape mode and when I start a video I want the video to start with the related content to the right, not in full screen mode.

Is there an app for video playback on external screen from ipad mini which avoids mirroring?

I want to play fullscreen video from ipad mini to external screens with a clean look and without without showing playback controls etc. I need to be able to play, pause, change the order of video tracks without affecting the external display as it's for playback of video backing tracks for a music show.
Does anybody know of any apps which do this? I'm looking at Portfolio for iPad at the moment which looks promising.

No.

How do I send videos and photo's from my mobile to the iPad via Bluetooth?

I am trying to send videos and photo's to my iPad from my mobile via Bluetooth but it won't work. The phone pairs with the iPad but won't connect to send files. Do I need an app for this? I am not very technical minded so please try and keep the answer as simple as possible.
Thanks

The simplest thing I can think of is, a app called iFiles. It costs £1.79.
There is a free similar type program called Dropbox, but this one requires a wifi connection to access the files etc you have uploaded. Whereas the iFiles app doesn't need any type of connection after the files etc have been uploaded.
Once you have installed the iFiles app on the iPad. Connect the iPad to your computer via the usb cable.
The iPad will now appear on the left handside. Left click on it. Along the top of the screen you will see, summary, apps, music and so on.
Click on the word APPS. You will now see at the bottom of the screen a section called FILE SHARING, along with two little windows. On the left side box should be iFiles. Click on the iFiles entry in this box.
Next you should see on the right handside window, iFile documents, at the bottom of this box is a button with ADD on it. Click on this and locate the files etc on your computer that you are wanting added onto your iPad, click on the SYNC button, they are then uploaded onto your iPad and they are now available for you to access wherever you are. You don't need any connection, i.e. wifi, cellular connection.
Here's a couple of screen shot showing what I have explained above:
Here's a link to the iFiles site:

How do I send video (or any files) from my ipad 2 to my iMac ?

I have an iPad 2 and an iMac. I am not that advanced technically but I managed to do this in the past but the how/why seems lost to me now !!
I SIMPLY WANT TO SEND VIDEO TAKEN ON MY IPAD TO MY MAC WIRELESSLY.
I know the later iPads have AirDrop, but I have downloaded Dropbox for use with my iPad 2. When I have tried to send photos, videos, (by clicking on the box with an arrow) the iPad 2 only offers mail,message,icloud,vimeo,facebook options. Nowhere do i see the dropbox logo, or other options.
iCloud is a mystery to me. I have no idea how it works. Photostream seems to randomly get files onto my Mac, but how or why I have no idea.
Bluetooth is equally strange. I can connect iPad to iMac but then what? I don't see ways of exploring files either way.
Is there an issue with PROXIMITY ? Does the ipad have to be near the Mac for Dropbox to work ?
I now how to find the file, select the file, click the upload/share icon... after that I am stumped!
Looking forward to any help.

Upload video to Dropbox.
1. Launch Dropbox on iPad
2. Tap the "..."
3. Select "Upload"
4. Select Camera Roll
5. Select video to upload
6. Tap "Upload"

Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

The EXACT same thing happened to me last night! Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze. When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen. None of the other videos I own will display either. Was your problem ever resolved?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
I have created a User Tip to list Apps that have been tested with Video Airplay, if you have any Apps that you have tested please email me details and I'll add them to the User Tip.

How to send video iPad to iPad

How to send video iPad to iPad

I'm assuming you mean how to send video files, rather than using Facetime? You can download an App called bump to transfer files, But i haven't used it to send video before, so can't comment on if it works.
There are various other Apps available which will work though. Have a look through them on the App store. Bluetooth won't work, as Apple are very touchy about how their devices are connected.

Apple TV send video from MacBook or IPad 1??

Have Macbook pro and iPad 1 receiving streaming internet shows. Can I wireless to Samsung TV via HDMI connected Apple TV( 2nd gen). these non Apple TV movies/tv shows.
Have all the latest software. Thanks..

You can send any video from the mac providing its in iTunes and in the correct format, you can't stream from a website.
You can send any video from the iPad providing its in an AirPlay enabled app (i.e. Video app) and in a compatible format, you can also send video from an AirPlay enabled website.

IPad says it's sending video via AirPlay, Apple TV won't play it.

When I send video to Apple TV, iPad says the video is playing on AirPlay but the Apple TV refuses to play the video. No audio, no video, nothing. Just a second of the spinning gear like it's trying to play it, then back to whatever it was previously doing. Both devices are at their newest software levels, and resetting the iPad doesn't work.
The only thing that has worked is unplugging the Apple TV, but that only resolves the issue for about a day, and sometimes not at all. HELP?

What kind of content are you trying to play, and from what app?
Is this all music/video/photos or just certain video (which might be incompatible if you've made it yourself)?
Some kind of wireless network issue is most likely, either slow or dropped connections, but if unplugging AppleTV helps it may be worth hooking up to a computer via a microUSB cable and running iTunes to factory restore it.
What kind of network setup do you have?
Can you stream anything via Airplay from iTunes?

How do I send videos from my iPad on I messages to my phone

I want to know how do I send Videos or texts from the Imessages to a cellular device

If the device you are sending to is an iOS 5 device with I message turned on, simply find the address in your address book and select send message. The pad will flip to the I message screen. Either type in your message, or touch the camera. It will ask if you want a new picture, or an existing picture. Your choice.

Sending videos from iphone 4s to pc. Why do I get black screen but have sound

Sending videos from iphone 4s to pc. Why do I get black screen but have sound?

Ok I checked and unchecked the playback via camera yesterday and I got black screen both times.
I could delete the imovie prefs when I go over there today.
I'll try another FW cable but it worked perfectly for importing but what the heck I've got one I'll try it.
Yes camera was set to play and not record.
Plenty of free space -- 131 GB.
I'm pretty sure it's in NTSC DV format, but it's someone else's computer so it could have been changed by someone screwin' around not knowing what they're doing making changes.

HT1766 How to send videos from ipad air to the cloud to free up storage space on ipad

How do I send videos from ipad air to the cloud to free up storage space on ipad?

I had a similar/same problem - when I deleted the video locally, it did not appear as a Cloud video.
To solve this, I deleted it locally, signed out of iCloud, powered of the iPad, powered back on, opened videos (empty), signed back into iCloud.
Now all my videos are present in the cloud, and none locally.
Not a great UX though

Send videos between two iPads without service?

Can you set something up, like a local network, so that you can send videos between two iPads without cell service or an internet connection?

Unfortunately no.
