Video Resolution for the Ipad2

          When tyring to rencode your video for the ipad what is the best resolution to use? I used 720p and though it worked its cutting off the video slightly on the left & right side when i try to view the video full screen and the ipad is on its side. I want to use the highest resolution i can but i don't want to video cutting off any when its full screen. I don't know if it matters but i always turn the device on its side when watching video.

1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi)
from

all pixels more then that will be removed before reaching the ipad screen

    How do I save a picture in a lower resolution for the website

    Check the App Store for apps that allow you to change the pixel dimensions of the photo. I use PhotoForge2 and it does a wonderful job of that by allowing you to move a slider to change the dimensions of the photo. Unfortunately Google purchased the company that made photoforge and it is no longer in the App Store. Thee are undoubtedly some other apps that will do what you want.

    Is there a protective travel case for the iPad2 that will cover the smart cover as well?

    There are a variety of well-made sleeves from SF Bags which will accommodate the Smart Cover. I'm partial to the neoprene bags and sleeves from Bult NY and I use this "hoodie" netbook sleeve (in black) for extra protection when I'm traveling or in the field because it has a rigid shell to protect the back and sides:

    Log Message:
    Switching out the old video component for the new video component that uses OSMF.  Also fixing RSL issue with OSMF because a change in flex-config.xml accidentally got overwritten.  Also fixing a bug caught during the last code review where you would set the volume on the VideoPlayer, but the volumeBar wouldn't be made aware of that change.
    Switching out the video component results in many API changes.  The changes are highlighted below:
    Class name changes:
    - spark.primitives.VideoElement is being renamed to spark.components.VideoDisplay
    - spark.components.mediaClasses.StreamingVideoSource is renamed to park.components.mediaClasses.DynamicStreamingVideoSource
    - spark.components.mediaClasses.StreamItem is renamed to park.components.mediaClasses.DynamicStreamingVideoItem
    VideoDisplay/VideoPlayer event changes:
    The new video component's events are:
    - bytesLoadedChange : org.osmf.events.LoadEvent
    - currentTimeChange : org.osmf.events.TimeEvent
    - durationChange : org.osmf.events.TimeEvent
    - mediaPlayerStateChange : org.osmf.events.MediaPlayerStateChangeEvent
    The old video component's events were:
    - close : spark.events.VideoEvent (removed)
    - complete : spark.events.VideoEvent (replaced with mediaPlayerStateChange)
    - metaDataReceived : spark.events.VideoEvent (replaced with mediaPlayerStateChange)
    - playheadUpdate : spark.events.VideoEvent (replaced with currentTimeChange)
    - progress : flash.events.ProgressEvent (replaced with bytesLoadedChange)
    - ready : spark.events.VideoEvent (replaced with mediaPlayerStateChange)
    VideoDisplay/VideoPlayer property changes:
    Renames:
    - maintainAspectRatio:Boolean has been renamed to scaleMode:String and rather than true/false, it now access 4 values: none, zoom, letterbox, and stretch.  See the enum class org.osmf.display.ScaleMode.
    - playheadTime:Number has been renamed to currentTime:Number
    - playWhenHidden has been renamed to pauseWhenHidden, and it's "tense" has been reversed.  So playWhenHidden = true correlates to pauseWhenHidden = false.  Also, before we would only pause when the video component was explcitly set to visible=false, but now we detect if the video components or any of it's ancestors have been hidden.
    - totalTime:Number has been renamed to duration:Number
    New properties:
    - bytesLoaded:Number This is a new property not available on the old video component
    - bytesTotal:Number This is a new property not available on the old video component
    - loop: Boolean this was a property added a while ago on the old video component but not in the original video player spec
    - mediaPlayerState: this is a new property that details the state of the video component.  See org.osmf.media.MediaPlayerState for all the possible values.
    - seekToFirstFrame:Boolean (pending PARB approval) - This is a new property available on VideoDisplay/VideoPlayer.  When autoPlay = false, if seekToFirstFrame is set to true, then we will connect to the server to start downloading the video, figure out the size of the video and resize appropriately, and show the first frame of the video.  If seekToFirstFrame is false, then no connection to the server is made, there's no implicit size for this video, and the first frame will not be show automatically.  By default the value of this property is true.  In the old video component, when autoPlay = false, we always has the same behavior as seekToFirstFrame = true.  Now it is controllable through this property.  Eventually, (not for Flex 4.0), we will most-likely have support for a thumbnail source or a splash screen so the video's preview will show up without making an unneeded connection to the server.  The property name may change depending on PARB.
    Other changes:
    - autoRewind: The default of autoRewind is now true instead of false
    - enabled: before we paused the video when the video component was explicitly set to enabled = false.  Now we pause the video when the video component or any of it's ancestors have been disabled.
    VideoPlayer-only changes:
    - videoObject:flash.media.Video property is now a new property on VideoPlayer.  It was previously only on VideoDisplay.
    - The skin states for the old VideoPlayer were: connectionError, disabled, disconnected, loading, playing, stopped, connectionErrorAndFullScreen, disabledAndFullScreen, disconnectedAndFullScreen, loadingAndFullScreen, playingAndFullScreen, stoppedAndFullScreen.  The new skin states are: uninitialized, loading, ready, playing, paused, buffering, playbackError, disabled, uninitializedAndFullScreen, loadingAndFullScreen, readyAndFullScreen, playingAndFullScreen, pausedAndFullScreen, bufferingAndFullScreen, playbackErrorAndFullScreen, disabledAndFullScreen
    DynamicStreamingVideoItem property changes:
    - bitRate:Number renamed to bitrate:Number
    DynamicStreamingVideoSource property changes:
    - initialIndex has been added to DynamicSteramingVideoSource
    - live:Boolean has changed to streamType:String which accepts values: live, recorded, any.  See the enum class org.osmf.net.StreamType for more info.
    - serverURI:String renamed to host:Object
    - streamItems:Array has changed types to streamItems:Vector.
    ScrubBar property changes (THESE CHANGES ARE NOT DONE YET, BUT SHOULD BE DONE SOON)
    - bufferedStart will be removed
    - bufferedEnd will be renamed to loadedRangeEnd.  This property name still may change depending on PARB.
    - bufferedArea skin part needs to be renamed.  Probably will be renamed to loadedArea.  PARB still deciding.

    I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
    The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is?

  • Do you recommend using a protective shield for the iPad2 screen

    Do you recommend using a protective shield for the iPad2 screen

    This is a very subjective issue. Do I recommend it? .... Not necessarily. Do I use one?..  Yes I do. I use the ZAGG InvisibleShield on the screen. I love it because not only does it protect the screen from scratches - it is very easy to clean. While I love the look of the unprotected iPad screen, I hated the fingerprints.

  • Best Video Settings For The iPad.

    Hi everyone,
    Does anyone know this ? "Best Video Settings For The iPad".
    Kindly and in simple terms state the best possible settings to be use when converting videos for the iPad that optimizes the entire screen size/ area without a black borderline around your video. it's rather frustrating to have many technical jargons online without anyone giving real pointers at real values in conversion settings.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Kindly and in simple terms state the best possible settings to be use when converting videos for the iPad that optimizes the entire screen size/ area without a black borderline around your video.
    It is impossible to answer your question without knowing both the aspect ratio of the source file and your personal preferences for displaying it on a 4:3 iPad screen.
    Basically, you have two options here when converting files of one aspect ratio for display on a screen of another aspect. You can distort the original display to "fill" the ipad screen. (E.g., you can make a widescreen movie exactly fill your iPad screen but then people and objects will look tall and skinny.) The other option is to convert at the original aspect ratio and simply use the iPad "zoom" option to force your widescreen movie to fill your 4:3 screen by scaling the height of your movie to fill the screen and allowing the left and right edges of you movie to be cropped from your view. You have no other choices here other than living with the defaulted black areas.

  • Is using the 5 watt charger bad for the Ipad2

    Is using the 5 watt charger bad for the Ipad2 ?

    The iPad 2 needs a 10W charger. The 5W charger do not supply enough current to charge the iPad.
    It will not do any damage to the iPad.

  • Which carrier is preferred--verizon or at&t for the ipad2?

    which carrier is preferred for the ipad2?  verizon or at&t?

    That depends on where you are. In some places, one may be better than the other. You'll also want to consider things like the price of each carrier's plans. They're a bit different.
    Personally, I tend to agree with ds store but you'll get people who think AT&T is better. Ask around among people who use AT&T and Verizon where you are.

  • Why is the video blurry on the iPad2?

    When I watch a video on the iPad2 , using the ABC Player App, uTube app, TV.com app, Netflix  app or just using websites on sky fire, the video will start out crystal clear but will become so blurry that I can't continue to watch, it will occasionally become clear and then becomes blurry again.  The only time that video remained crystal clear was when I bought a TV show on iTunes.  I have updated to 4.3.3 , I have tried a reset by pushing the home button & the on/off buttons .  Has anyone else had this problem?  What can I do to fix this?  I love my new iPad2 and it has been great except for this.  I know that there is no flash, but I am using the apps and the video is still blurry, any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks, Michelle

    All the situations I which you describe "blurry" video, the video is being streamed. When you were watching the purchased video, it was resident on your iPad. That would indicate that the problem is probably a slow internet connection. If the Internet connection isn't fast enough,mthe picture quality of the streamed video will degrade.

  • Best video resolution for new ipad (3)?

    If I want to put my own movies on the ipad (from dvds that I own, I have all the conversion tools I need), what is the recommended resolution?  The retina display is too good If I convert a movie to that resolution it would be 20G.  A 1920x1080 movie already takes up 7G, which is too much. 
    I'm thinking that I probably cant even tell the difference between 1920x1080 and a lower resolution, like maybe 1440x900... the question is how low can I go and still have a film look really sharp with this new display?  I only have the 16G version so space is an issue.
    I think maybe an upper limit of 2G per movie is reasonable...?

    DVDs are SD, which is 720x480 NTSC or 720x576 PAL.
    Converting to a higher resolution is pointless, it will just blob out the pixels.
    You may want to remove the anamorphic conversion (wide screen movies stretch the horizonal size by 1.4 or close to it).
    If you do this it will make sure that the iPad shows the video correctly.
    To do so would be 1024X480 for NTSC, or 1024 x 576 for PAL.
    The iPad will stretch it out to look full screen, and it will look sharper played out at the origonal reslution and resized on the fly, then it would doing an up-res in a domestic video converter.
    Out of interest, the final video size is more determined my the compression ratio / datarate then the pixel size.
    You could make a 4000x4000 pixel video in less the 1gb, just lower the compression; it would look rubbsih though.
    Go for about 1500 to 3000 mb/s for SD, and higher for HD content in MP4 or Quicktime H.264.
    I find most domestic or plain video converters do a bad conversion, and often tend to make files way to big for the quality of the source material. You can lower the data rate quite well in H.264 or MP4 without much noticable quality loss. Saving space for more videos in less space.

  • Here's a way to quickly compute - max h264 video resolution for iPod

    Here's a VB Script I wrote to quickly compute the maximum dimensions you can encode an h264 video in for playback on your iPod video. It works on the principal that iPods can handle a maximum of 230400 pixels, and also accounts for Videora's stipulation that width/height must be in multiples of 16. Very easy to use, you simply supply the original width and height of your source video, and it tells you what dimensions you should encode to in order to maximize resolution. This is mainly of use for those who wish to playback videos on a TV, as anything above 320x240 won't look any better on the iPod itself. Copy and past this into a text file with the extension ".vbs" and then double click it. Windows only, sorry Mac people.
    origx = InputBox("Original Width", "Original Width")
    origy = InputBox("Original Height", "Original Height")
    xequals = origx / origy
    newy = sqr((230000)/xequals)
    newx = newy * xequals
    newy = 16 * (round((newy/16), 0))
    newx = 16 * (round((newx/16), 0))
    msgbox ("Make your video: " & newx & " x " & newy & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & "Total pixels: " & (newy*newx))

    To do the same thing on a Mac, open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript folder and paste in the following:
    display dialog "What is the original width?" buttons {"Cancel", "Enter"} default button "Enter" default answer ""
    set origx to text returned of the result as number
    display dialog "What is the original height?" buttons {"Cancel", "Enter"} default button "Enter" default answer ""
    set origy to text returned of the result as number
    set xequals to origx / origy
    set newy to (230000 / xequals) ^ 0.5
    set newx to newy * xequals
    set newy to 16 * (round (newy / 16))
    set newx to 16 * (round (newx / 16))
    display dialog ("Make your video: " & newx & " x " & newy & return & return & "Total pixels: " & (newy * newx))
    Press the Run button and enter the original size when prompted.

  • Finding proper A/B video switch for the imacs

    I am a new convert and I have 2 imacs that are used at my church. I am currently using one for the video feed to our projectors with the mini DVI to VGA cable. I want to be able to use both imacs, but the imacs are having trouble finding a signal through our current A/B switch. We currently use an extron A/B switch which is quite good but the imac will not find it 3/4 of the time.
    What A/B switch or how should I properly hook up in order to have the imacs find the signal each time?

  • I am in need of a weather and stock widget, similiar to the ones on the iphone 4s, that allow you to display current stocks and weather in the notification window but i need it for the ipad2.

    the iphone 4s came with a weather and a stock widget.  these could be configured in notifications to CONSTANTLY display stock prices and the days weather whenever you pulled down the notification window.  the ipad2 doesn't have these programs and i have spend a small fortune and time looking for this same feature.  does anyone out there know off a weather and stock program that will let you program stocks into the notification window and then stream the stocks and prices acrossthe screen continously when you open the notification window.  Also does anyone know of a weather program that will display the days current conditions ALL THE TIME, not just when the wind picks up or it snows.
    the ipad2 doesn't have these built in programs and i can't find similiar ones in the app store.
