Skype video for ipad

Has anyone tried this yet and what setup, headphones, does one need. Also does the caller need a number for Calling the ipad. thanks
Steve

You need a Skype account and have to read through their Help sections and all to get an idea of what their service offerings are. You can get a number for your account, not for the iPad, but you pay extra for that.
I've uses the Skype app to send phone calls, for audio and text chats and messages and .... I guess that's about it. No video chatting on the iPad of course, due to no camera. I think I got video from my brother once, but he no longer turns his on unless I do mine also, as in on the iMac.
The app has plenty of audio out ( not all do) so you won't need headphones unless you're in a noisy area. I'd be surprised if the integrated (mic included) ones wouldn't work, but haven't had one to play with.

What video converter app for mac would you suggest to convert videos for ipad mini?

Just recently got myself ipad mini and want to fill it up with movies. i have some but they have wrong format. And i don't know which format is the best for ipad mini(

iPad Mini supports .m4v, .mov, .mp4, and some of .avi files with Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) codec.
Generally, you can choose to convert files to MP4 format using utilities like Handbrake, Format Factory, etc. They are all free.
I have get a PS3 and iPad 2 years ago, sometimes I need to convert files to AVI for my PS3, so I choose a professional converter called AppGeeker. (while handbrake only output mkv and mp4 format, and FF reduces amount of quality of video)
it works marvelosly for me.

Converting video for iPad

Hi,
I was recently trying to copy some videos from my laptop onto my iPad. At first, it said the videos could not be copied because they were not in the right format for iPad. So, I attempted to use the "Create iPad or Apple TV Version" function in iTunes. Sadly, when I did that I was met with a message telling me the video will not be converted because it's already in the proper format. Tried with multiple videos, all returned the same response.
One of these functions is lying to me, and I'm not sure which one it is, or how to proceed.
Potentially pertinent info:
848x480 H.264 MPEG-4 video @ 159 kbps

Googling show many ways. Here is one:

How to use HTML Video for iPad in iWeb

I agree with all the advantages of HTML Video. How do you use html video on your iweb site?
I want my iWeb site video to be viewable on iPads.
I have learned the technique to use the HTML Snippet tool in iWeb to successfully post Flash video. I created all of my animations using Kenote's keyframe ability and have exported them to Quicktime and then have converted them into flash with Vertical Moon's Video to SWF. Then simply upload the SWF file to a folder on your idisk, then use the Flash Video insert HTML Snippet and insert the idisk url of the SWF file and you are done. What is the technique for HTML Video?
I have found some HTML video encoders, here are the links:
http://www.projekktor.com/ the technique is not clear to me and appears complicated.
http://www.brightcove.com/en/ this one is way too expensive at $99 a month.
http://jilion.com/sublime/video this one looks great but is not yet available and I am guessing it is a converter that will make your iMovie Quicktime into HTML Video.
I have all of the i-Apps and Final Cut Express (2 revs out of date). Can I get the proper HTML video file from these programs, unless I am missing something I don't think so.
Most people do not believe I made my site completely with Keynote and iWeb but here it is. http//www.falcon-pacific.com
Thank You Very Much for considering my question. I will put the results on my iWeb site and the exact procedure and acknowledge all the sources of the solution.

I want my iWeb site video to be viewable on iPads.
Your videos ARE viewable on a iPad. No need for explicit HTML video coding.
If you export your movies to iPhone that's all there is to do. You can do it in QT Pro/iMovie
And HTML Video is a HTML code, not the movie itself :
<video width="480" height="270" src="movie.m4v" controls></video>
I use the iPad simulator in the SDK :

Creating an enhanced ebook in epub format with video for iPad, need guidance

Has any one done this before? I just found this and it is the perfect solution for what I am trying to accomplish. Here is a screen shot of a and enhanced ebook i dowloaded from the apple book store.
http://oi51.tinypic.com/2lub9g2.jpg Just wondering what the best way to go about laying this out, seems like ibooks formats all the epubs to look the same. Thanks

If you want to make a publication from InDesign to iPad, you can also use Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. With it you can add videos to InDesign layout. Videos has to be H.264 encoded, but you can do that with Adobe Media Encoder which is free utility, comes with indesign CS5... and after finishing layout, you can bundle the whole thing to iPad App...(this is strongly simplified description of the process... but anyway, it´s possible)

Encoding h.264 video for iPad using Adobe Media Encoder CS5

Hi guys!
I'm upgrading a clients website to HTML5 video and I'm having a VERY hard time using Adobe Media Encoder CS5 for encoding movies that are going to be embedded and played on iPad.
I've tried different resolutions, different profiles (Baseline Profile, Level 3.0, Baseline Profile, Level 3.1, Main Profile, Level 3.0 and so on).
Here's more info from one of my test clips:

All kind of help is appreciated since I already spent more than a day trying to get this to work.

Even Main Profile, Level 3.1 (compressed with AME CS5) works in the real thing when embedding according to my "reports".
Gaaaah, what a waste of time relying on a not-so-reliable simulator!

Skype Video for Mac?

Best format to save HD video for iPad 2

What is the most effecient way to save an HD video (from iMovie '11 for Mac) with the intended purpose of uploading to an iPad 2 then using the Apple AV adapter to display on a 52" HDTV? I want to lose as little detail as possible which is why I don't want to put it on a DVD. I also don't want to end up with a 20GB file that the iPad will choke on. The video itself is 15 min. and contains a mix of SD and HD clips. Thanks.

Hi Magnus40,
I'm not sure what you are doing to create this problem. I create web movies all the time and have never had this problem, although, I never use the advanced settings cos I have never had to. When you go to the Quicktime export pane in iMovie you have the quality choices from full quality to web. When you select one of these it gives an estimate of the file size. For that length clip you should not need to use any setting besides full quality. I'd say the problem is coming from the 480x360 aspect ratio. This is what is compressing the file. Have you tried exporting it as full quality and then uploading it? The only problem you face by doing this is, it will take a long time for the movie to load on your website. For a short clip you may find that the CD ROM setting is sufficient.
Good luck.

No video for ipad videos in quicktime audio ok

When I connect my ipad 3 to my computer and select a video I made using Quicktime, all I get is the audio without video. I can use a program to convert the .mov file to .avi and get it to play. But why won't a Ipad .mov file play correctly in quicktime?

Two PCs on two places, both with iTunes using same AppleId. Streaming videos for iPad

Hi everybody.
I'm living in two places, both of them equiped with PCs, one running Windows 7 and the other Windows XP (nobody's perfect !). They run last version of iTunes with same Apple Id.
As one is the backup of the other, both of them have all the videos I'd like to broadcast on may iPad (not enough place, so no download). Some of them are TV shows I bougth, other one are personnal videos.
All was perfect on the first PC (the one running Windows 7) until I activate the same setups on the second one. Now I can broadcast personnal videos from that PC, but I can't anymore on the first one : when I open Videos (the application) on iPad, the only thing I see on the menu is "TV show", witch allow me to download (not broadcast) from Internet the show I'd like to see, but I don't see the "shared library" I used to see before.
Anyone has an idea ?
Thank's

Why does it take so long for FCPX to render video for the various Apple Devices?

It took 12 hours from FCP X to share 1 hour of video for iPad. It took over an hour to share a 3 min. video from FCP X via the new Compressor for iPad. It takes appreciably less time if I choose the DVD option (which now gives an error message in FCP X) or export as a Quicktime video.

Only an idea but 1.4Gb to 22.5Gb hmm well that may take a while as it's having to make the file bigger add information to it? But the bigger the file to a smaller size the longer things will take. Always use compressor though it's a professional compressor well the last version was anyway and your MacBook Pro is fairly powerful. do you have it plugged in when performing tasks like these as It may be that performance is reduced slightly to conserve battery life but I'm not 100% sure on that but if you haven't I'd give that a go.

I can't download Skype on my iPad. I go to apple store click get Skype and then it will not let proceed. What can I do?, I can't download Skype on my iPad. I go to apple store click get Skype and then it will not let proceed. What can I do?

Can someone help me with skype download for iPad. Thnx

I quickly just installed Skype on my iPad2 with no issue. Try doing a reset of your ipad (Hold down the lock/power button and the home button at the same time untill the iPad resets itself (ignoring the swipe to power off). Also try reseting the app first. (Double tap the home button and then hold over the app until a red '-' appears hit that on the app store)
Hope this helped,

New iPad 4G internet access lost during Skype video calls, also to all apps...

Hi
i have the New (3rd generation) iPad 4G 32 Gb and i noticed that i totally lost internet connection during Skype video calls. The wifi signal is full but loosing the internet connection. Trying other apps like safari after the failure i don't have also internet access. After turninmg off & on afain wifi from iPad's settings everything returns to normal state.
No other wifi problems when not using Skype for iPad, no problems with Facetime or any other application, no problem with any other device, i also have an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3GS without any connection or internet problems.
Any idea? Is it a Skype problem, or iPad's know wifi problem?
Regards
Eddie

I also noticed the same problem not only using Skype, but with other application also.
Wifi signal is full, but loosing internet connection.
Any idea please ? Have to return it back for repair ? It's only 2 weeks old....

Does someone make a wide angle lense accessory for iPad video camera?

Would like to widen iPad video camera perspective when using Skype app. Looking for aftermarket product like Phocus, but for iPad video camera. Anything out there or do I need to develop a start-up myself?

There are a number of lens kits available that will work on the iPad, but I've never seen one that will work on the forward lense (which is what I assum you are looking for). Doesn't mean there isn't one however.
You might start here: https://www.google.com/search?q=iphone+lense&oq=iphone+lense&aqs=chrome..0j69i57 j5j0.5236j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=ipad+lenses&tbm=shop
