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.

  • Can't play .mp4 files anymore

    This has nothing to do with an iphone, and ipod or an ipad. My Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7.2 will not open or play .mp4 files any longer.
    I've tried opening it in quickview and it shows up as a black screen that never plays.
    It does the same when i open it with Quicktime X.
    If i try opening with Quicktime Pro 7, it says 'The movie contains some invalid data' 'The movie could not be opened'.
    someone please help me, i don't know what's going on, and i'm a video editor, so i need to be able to work with these files like i have been for the last few years

    i can dropbox it to you. it's about 107MB
    and i don't restart the computer. i shut it down completely and i've tried pressing down Command R and the power button all at once and holding Command R down after letting go of the power button
    i've also tried holding down command and r and while they are pressed down, then i press the power button.
    none of these tedious combinations have worked.
    what's your email and i can send you the file once i have it up on drop box.

  • My N73 can't play MP4 file

    I'm using N73 now,just bought it. When I tried to play a MP4 file by using RealOne, it promted "unable to play media file". However, when I move the memory card to another N73, it played well.
    My version is V 2.06.... I know there is higher version V 3.0... but I dont think it must be upgraded to play MP4 file.

    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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    as far as I can tell you have to convert to an ipad compatible format first. If you google "how to convert wrf" you will find options for conversion. I dont know if your on mac or windows, so the search is going to be your best bet for now.

    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.

  • What app do I use to watch mp4 file on iPad?

    I used iTune on my MacBook Pro to copy an mp4 file onto iPad.  It seemed to have done so without complaint.  But I don't see the mp4 file from Music app on iPad.  What app am I supposed to use to view the mp4 file?

    Try free OPlayerHD Lite.

  • Still Cant Play MP4 Files

    Hi
    The first time I downloaded QT 7.4 , I couldnt play MP4 files in QT and FR. I then had to reinstalled QT 7.3 with Pacifist and it was all okay. Today I downloaded Version 7.4.5 (25) and the same problem cropped up! I thought Apple would have fixed it by now! Anyone else facing the problem? Before installing I had run permissions. I am on the latets verion of Tiger

    What's the nature of the files that can't play? Do you hear the audio but can't see the video? Were they converted from .flv using TubeSock or iSqunt? If so, when you download the latest iSquint, it comes with the Debreaker app that fixes those files.
    There are other solutions like using Pacifist again or using an old version of a component, but both of those mean that, with every update you'll be doing it again. If your files are of the specific type listed above, that fix has worked through the last few updates with no problems.

  • 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;

    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.
