What formats for iPad for dvd?

I want to convert some dvds to my ipad for the kids. what format should movies be in on my ipad? AVI? MPEG? OR SVCD? Which will give good quality but not use up alot of space?

The manual lists the video formats the iPad likes
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
Presuming these are home movies or other non-copyright protected videos, Handbrake works quite well to convert formats. If it's commercial dvd's then you'll need to research elsewhere. No one here is permitted to assist you in breaking the CSS encryption on a commercial DVD.
If you're wanting to get commercial dvd's onto your iPad, an easier way may be to get teh movies from iTunes, then you'll own them and won't have to mess with conversion.

How to make video screensaver for iPad?

Dear all,
does any one know how to make a video screensaver for iPad? We plan to use iPad's (with iOs7) in our retail shops and we want them to role video screensavers (while iPad is locked). I know that Apple Demo has it.
And did I miss something but in previous iOs versions there was possibility to make photo slide show when iPad is locked and now in iOs7 it is not possible? Or is there a work around?
Thanks!

The slide show on the lock screen feature has been removed from iOS. However, there are apps that will let you create slide shows. There are probably ones that will loop videos as well. You should be able to combine one of these with the Guided Access feature (which restricts the iPad to one app) to do what you want. Search the App Store for slide show apps. Review the information in the manual for Guided Access.
Best of luck.

Change default video player for iPad

Is there any way to change the default video player for iPad?
For instance, to be able to see mpeg, mkv videos, etc.

Did you figure out how to do it ? I have some movies copied over from a NAS into FileExplorer app on my ipad, but it uses quick time as player and it does a lousy job with mkv files.
Note: Jailbreaking is not an option

Apple developer notes on video format for iPod, Apple TV and iPhone

I have been doing a bit of searching on information for converting video for the Apple TV and came across this web-page which contains technical information of converting video for the iPod, Apple TV and iPhone.
If you are after information on bitrates, b-frames, levels, profiles, low-complexity, etc. then this may help:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2007/tn2188.html
What is interesting to note, whilst 5Mbps is the maximum bitrate, the Apple TV supports spikes up to 12Mbps.
Happy reading and please feel free to add more links to useful information on the video format for the Apple TV.

I have downloaded the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Trailer #2 .mov file and this streams quite happily on the Apple TV. This has a total bitrate of 6505Kbps and an audio bitrate of 192Kbps @ 48KHz and video 23.98fps @ 1280x544.
So, according to the Apple TV spec., the audio is well above 160Kbps and the video bitrate is well above 5Mbps. So why does it play at all on the Apple TV let alone stream without stuttering? Maybe its because the video height is 544 rather than the full 720, but why does the Apple TV get to see it?
I don't know the answers, just offering this as an example of a video that is freely available for anyone to try out which clearly exceeds some of the maximum specs for the Apple TV.
Has anyone found or got anything that beats this?

Video and audio formats for iPad

Hey, guys.. I've tried searching this up in the forum but didn't have any luck with that..
I can't seem to upload my movies and songs into iPad... I tried converting my movie into .mov and .mp4. They can both be imported into my iTunes library but when I drag it to the iPad tab it says it cannot be copied because it cannot be played on the iPad. And some of my albums just can't be imported.
May I know the preferred format for my movies and my songs? And what could be the problem with my importing..
Thanks heaps.

Here are the spec for video and audio for the iPad:
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

Best video format for converting DVD to NAS for widely sharing

Summary: The article shows you with an easy workaround for
copying DVD to NAS for streaming by ripping DVD to NAS friendly video
format on Mac and Windows
I recently purchased a NAS to store all my music/photos etc on. I
can stream stuff to my iPhone/iPad using the NAS software. What I want
to do is rip all my DVDs (over 400) to my NAS, but I’m not sure which
format to do it in, to play nice with my Apple TV2, Xbox 360, iPhone,
iPad etc. I wanna get some advice as to what format to rip in and what
software to use?
Learn some tips from online, I got know that to copy dozens of DVD movies to NAS,
you need to get the content off the DVD disc as a protection-free and
easily readable element for NAS. In this case, at the first place
powerful third-party software for backup DVD to NAS is what you need.
There are many, many DVD ripping tools on the market. I’ve tired a pile of them.
Brorsoft DVD Ripper
is the best one I’ve tried yet. It is capable of ripping DVD to MP4,
AVI, MKV for NAS streaming with no quality loss; it also enables you to
copy DVD main movies for backup onto NAS in .vob format. And what I’ve
learned is that MP4 would be one best target format for it is fully
compatible with nearly all media devices including iPad, iPhone, PS3,
Apple TV, etc. If you are running on Mac OS X, turn to DVD Ripper for Mac. If you haven’t got the software, download it now and let’s start the conversion.
Ripping and copying DVDs to NAS
1. Launch the DVD ripping program for NAS devices . Then
click "Load DVD" to import the DVD files you want to convert. To select
the subtitles you like, simply click Subtitle and select the one you
prefer. P.S. Before start the conversion, you can choose to backup DVD mian movies.
2. Click Format bar and choose your desired format. To store
hundreds of DVD's on NAS, you can rip DVD to .mp4, or .avi, .mkv, etc
compressed format. And click Settings bar, you can adjust the level of
compression to suit the quality you want.
Tip: If you like, you can click “Settings” to change the
video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. Keep in mind
the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution
which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible
quality loss, and vice versa.
3. Press the "Convert" button to start ripping DVD for NAS streaming.
After the conversion, click Open button to find the output files.
Make sure the wireless network connection is accessible among the NAS
and Apple TV, PS3, HD TV or other media players. Then just enjoy the
high quality DVD movies anywhere anytime.

I've always found encoding with Handbrake and choosing the Apple TV2 preset is an excellent place to start and video encoded using that preset will work on my iPhone 4, 4S and iPad 2.
If the files encoded using that preset are too big for one's taste they can always encoded at a lower average bit rate rather than using the default 'Constant Quality' of 20.
Later on I'm sure the Handbrake group will have an AppleTV '3' preset supporting the 1080p format supported by the ATV3 and iPad '3' but using such a preset would not create a file usable on the iPad 2 or the iPhones.

Video compression for iPad?

We use Final Cut Pro 7 - and frequently compress our HD videos we make using Compressor. We use high end HD cameras, etc., and have beautiful results when compressing at, say 20 - 30mbs for display on HD monitors and televisions. We know how to compress for iPod and Apple TV, and various web sizes . . . but what parameters should we be using for the iPad?
I've read it plays up to 2.5mbs??
I hope I'm WRONG, because with fast moving subjects, you'll see a lot of pixelation at that low data rate.
I looked in the Compressor templates, but don't see one for iPad. Anyone know what settings we should be using? Or what's the highest data rate an iPad will play?
Thanks,
Larry

Here's what the specs say is supported:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 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, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file format
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

Video format on iPad 1, iOS5.1.1?

What video format will allow vacation videos (from iPhone 4) to transfer to iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1? Pushing them through the (Windows) PC hasn't solved the problem.

Sorry - I tried to sound more tech savvy than I am. My wife saves her iPhone 4 photos & videos to a folder on her PC, tagged for transfer to her iPad 1 through iTunes. Only the stills are picked up; videos don't transfer, & in fact trigger an error message about a format not playable on the iPad. How to move videos to iPad?

Video Format on iPad Mini

Dear All,
I am pretty sure this question has been asked many times. My apologies for asking again but when I searched for the keywords "video format" in the forum, I didnt get any hits.
I read on the Apple page that the iPad Mini supports MP4 and MOV.
I converted some AVI files using Bigasoft MKV Converter, which converts nearly all types of movie files, into MP4's and MOV's. iTunes 11.0.1.12 loads both these formats into its library but when I attempt to synch it with my iPad, iTunes says that the synch cannot occur because iPad doesnt recognise the format of the file.
Can someone please show me where this has been discussed before or briefly explain to me how I can transfer my AVI's into a format my iPad can read.
P.S. This is my first Apple product, so please pardon my utter ignorance.
Best regards,
Kenneth Gomez.

Is there any difference between the video supported on an iPad mini vs. an iPad (iPad 3)?
Until today, I would have assumed of course not...but I've got 2 iPad Minis for my kids and an iPad for myself. There are a series of videos in my iTunes that play fine on ATV and my iPad but when transferred to either of my iPad Mini's don't work.
When I sync to either of my iPad mini's, I see the movie being transferred over. The mini has less storage space as a result of the transfer as well so the content / data is on the Mini somewhere - but the Video App does not see the video (either by going to the App or going to Usage in system preferences to see what's in the video app).
So the summary is :
-- 2 X iPad Mini's and an iPad 3 syncing to the same iPad library
-- Movie A works on iPad 3, but is not recognized by the Video App at all on either of the Mini's
-- I've tested this on a half dozen different movies, all were created / formatted for iPhone / iPad - all work on iPad 3, those that don't work fail on both Mini's
Any thoughts?

What video format does iPad prefer?

I have tried mp4 and mov. files but I always get " can not download - video file is not supported by iPad" . The best part is, I can't even playback videos that are recorded from my iPhone. Any advise?

For iPad you can play video other than mp4 by:
1. Using third party player: such as OplayerHD Lite that maximum 720p such as Matroska container, FLV container, AVI container.
2. Re-muxing the stream into mp4, it is possible if all stream such as x.264 / AVC / h.264 Video with AAC audio stream. Muxing only re-saving into other container, it takes 1 seconds to 15 minutes maximum for 1080p 2 hours movie.
3. Re-encode the whole movie to mp4, this take 1 hour to 1 night, if the stream cannot be player by iPad spec.
For option 1: Clear enough.
For option 2 : [PC only - XMedia Recode], this you can view 1080p mp4 movie, take 1-10 minutes
Download and install Xmedia Recode and mediainfo PC.
Open the video, make sure the Video is AvC or H.264, or it needs to re-encode using Handbrake or Xmedia Recode, Check the audio, make sure is AAC 2 ch/6ch
Check the mp4 output, Custom format, sync audio/video
On the Video tab, check video copy if the video already on AVC or H.264. It will take minutes.
If it is not AVC or H.264 then uncheck the video copy to re-encode the video. And it will takes hours.
On the Audio tab, check audio copy if the stream already AAC 2ch/6ch. It will take secods.
If it is mp3, AC3, DTS , Ogg then it needs to re encode the audio, It will take minutes.
Insert the title as wish, Dont edit/crop if you are just mux / copy check the video.
subtitle muxing are not supported to be muxed using Xmedia Recode, nor multi audio streams.
Add job, Start. The mp4 will be delivered in secods or 10 minutes max if just mux.
If you have subtitle, or extracted from MKV, make sure has same name file and subrip srt mode.
You can mux subtitle and mp4 using Subler that available on Mac only.
You can add metadata, cover, chapter using iTunes or Subler.
You can view the mp4 without subtitle or m4v Subler result using Video app iPad, or
You can view the mp4 + movie subtitle srt using third party player like OplayerHD Lite with iTunes plugin on.
Please remember the 1080p MP4 needs Copytrans manager for transfer to the iPad Video app
For option 2 : [Mac only MKV input- Subler], you can have the 720p /1080p subtitled m4v for 1-10 minutes
Download and install Subler free and mediainfo mac free
Open the video, make sure the Video is AvC or H.264 MKV, if not you must using Handbrake to re-encode it.
Check the audio, make sure is AAC 2 ch/6ch using mediainfo mac, if it is AC3 will be converted easily using Subler.
On preferences Subler, check the jpg chapter, and encoding AC3 to Stereo AAC.
Import mkv streams to subler, after open the mkv.
If you have multi sound, make sure the first stream is AAC, and the Group Alternative is 1 for all audio streams. If not multi audio stream, just Set Group Alternative to none.
If you have subtitle, or multi subtitle, make sure set Group Alternative to 2 for all subtitle, or 1 if the Audio Stream is none Group.
Add chapter if you wish, chapter should after subtitle streams.
Insert the title and cover as wish and others metadata as you wish
Save as m4v. Check both 64 bit if your file ouput was bigger than 2GB.
Optimize the m4v.
Please donate to the subler if it useful.
For option 3: Re-encode with Handbrake take long hours
Clear enough. With Handbrake you must re-encode the whole movie, but you can mux the soft subtitle also.

How can i use original audio track in video editing for iPad 2?

I am struggling to understand how the video editing apps work for iPad 2, and specifically, to understand why all the editing apps I have looked at explain how you can make these terrific video clips by ADDING audio tracks from iTunes, or. From the audio library. I just want to use the original audio on the tape? Is that so strange? Today I took a video clip of my daughter singing with her guitar. I wanted to shorten the length a bit, so I downloaded a couple of Visio editing apps. When I pulled the clip out of my Camera Roll storage into the video editing screen, there was no sound at all,though there were ways to add other sounds ( for .99cents) most frustrating is that nowhere, does Apple explain this. The tutorials just show someone editing a video of their friends ( with no sound) And adding text and music, as if it's normal not to include the actual sound that originally accompanied the video clip. Seems like i wouldn't be the only customer who would prefer to hear my daughters own voice Ina video of her singing, and would like thisexplainedbefore I started downloading editing apps. If it can't be done, couldn't This be posted?

I am not understanding your question, or your complaint, if it is a complaint.
I movies takes a video clip, including its audio track.
You have the option of mutimg it, or of importing some other sound from your music library, or narrating. What other option do you want?
