Play mov files on iPad?

iPads supposedly play mov files.  However iTunes won't let them copy.  How can I get mov files to an iPad and then playthem?

The iPad 2 supports:
Video formats supported: 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 convert the format to an iPad compatible one use a converter computr program like the free HandBrake. You can also purchase an app that will play .mov format videos. You will use FileSharing to transfer them to the iPad. Here is one free app.

  • Automator only playing .mov files

    I am working with Automator trying to create a simple video scheduling app. I created a workflow that ...
    1. Gets a specific movie
    2. Plays the movie full screen.
    Everything is tied into iCal and seems to work well except that I can only play .mov files. mp4 files and .avi files will play in Quicktime Player but will not when called through this workscript/app.
    Any thoughts?

    I'm not sure if this is even the right forum so I apologize if it's not.  Just trying to get an aswer about playing my .mov files.
    I have the new Ipad and I have been recording videos.  I'm looking to get these videos online on my website.
    What is the best way to put this on my website so there is a video player and all.
    Right now I just added the videos online but there are no play, pause and rewind options and its just 1 big page of video.
    Your question is somewhat ambiguous. How you place the files on your web site will depend on how you are creating/managing the web site and how you plan for viewers to watch them. This can range from simply loading the files to an online server and accessing the content directly by its URL in a compatible browser app like Safari or dedicated players like QT 7, QT X, MPEG Streamclip, VLC, or devices like the iPad, iPhone, etc. to embedding/calling specialized "viwers/players" from within the programmed web page.
    Not being a web site programmer myself, I normally just transfer the content to my system and either copy the files directly to my server or use iWeb to publish the files to my server for more generic web site viewing.

  • How to view .mov files on ipad

    I use my iPad to store both jpg and mov files directly from my camera when on the road. I would like to be able to view the .mov files on iPad without the use of a computer. Is this possible?

    It depends what video codec the .mov files use. The video formats/codecs supported by the iPad are:
    H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 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

  • Quicktime will not play .mov files since Lion installation

    When using Quicktime 10.6, I am receiving the error message "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." when attempting to open .mov files.  Prior to installing OS X Lion, there were no issues with playing .mov files.

    I'm having the same problem. Using a clean install of Mac OS X (10.7) Lion and QuickTime 10.1. 
    If I go to finder:
    I can click on Icon's Play arrow and the Movie will play in the icon.
    I can click on the file icon and press the spacebar and the file will play in QuickLook.
    If I doubleclick on the icon to open the file in QuickTime, I get the "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." message.
    If I right click on the icon and click open with... QuickTime, I get the "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." message.
    MBP, Mac OS X (10.7)

  • Quicktime not playing .mov files

    i have a problem with quicktime. it doesn't play .mov files. if i try to play .mov files that are embedded in a .pdf file, a window opens but stays blank, although the progress bar moves. if i try to open the files in quicktime, there's no window, just the progress bar that moves. i run the latest version. i've already tried reinstalling - didn't help, uninstalling completely and installing - didn't help.
    help?
    many thanks!
    diana

    Quicktime>Quicktime Player Preferences>Advanced
    Click on the MIME Settings button.
    In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
    While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
    This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the *QuickTime Movie* box. This box will enable you to play .mov files.
    Click the OK button.

    When I 1st used QT after upgrading to ML, I received a message saying that a codec was missing, and that accordingly QT  could not play the files.  Just now, after tinkering with VSL in vain, I re-launched QT, and opened what had been a '.mov'-file, only to find that it is now an '.mpg'-file.  How that transformation occurred, I do not know, but the result is that QTwill play the file perfectly well.
    I am back with QT, and many thanks to you all that have tried to help.

  • Can't play .mov file!!

    hello,
    i'm having some trouble playing .mov-files.. I can watch trailers on apple.com but when I have a mov-file on the pc, it opens with a flashy green screen and pressing play will only give my a static (mostly green) and no noise.. this goes also for iTunes, movies there i cannot open but i can watch them on my ipod..
    anybody any ideas?
    thanks

    What codec is this HD file? If they shot and captured in the Sony XDCAM EX format, FCP 5.1.4 won't be able to see that. The XDCAM EX support comes only with FCP 6.0.3.

  • Bridge doesn't play movie files

    I have Bridge CS5 set to play movie files when it encounters them but for some reason it has decided to stop doing so.

    Thanks for the link but I have a slightly different problem.
    I have now discovered that Bridge plays most .mov files but not those in a particular folder. Has anybody any idea why?
    I can however play these particular files with Nero. It's just that one would prefer to have Bridge do it when one is working in Bridge. But, it has to be said (and I'm talking about hi def movie files here) Nero plays them smoothly without a hitch whereas Bridge playback is jerky. Why? Is Nero using a different codec and if so can one get Bridge to use the same one?

  • I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere

    I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere - won't play in FCP 7, Quicktime. Not sure what updates they were specifically since i hit the "update All" button without going over each one. Please help!! operating on 10.6.8 with FCP7

    Just take a look at the last few days posts here and you'll see many people with the same problem and some possible solutions.
    But you should never do any software updates unless you have a bootable backup of your startup drive.  FCP7 is no longer being supported by apple and updating anything is fraught with dangers.
