Watching saved videos on iPad (AVI or MOV)

Can I watch saved video on my iPad?
I have videos shot in avi format. but i cant seem to upload them on see them my iPad (either through Drop Box or any other source)
Do i need to convert the avi files to mov so that I can see them on my iPad?
What format videos will be visible on iPad?
Ash

The iPad cannot natively view AVI videos. You'll either need to convert them to a supported format, details of whiich can be found in the tech specs:
http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
or look for an app that can play AVI. Note that AVI is a container format and can use any number of codecs, so the app will have to support the codec your AVI videos contain, as will any coverter software you use.
Regards.

  • Watching music videos from iPad to tv

    I have a new Vizio Razor LED LCD HDTV and want to watch music videos I've purchased from iTunes currently located on my iPad on the TV.  The TV has a USB port.  Is there any way I can copy the files to a jump drive?  I don't want to hook my iPad up directly to the TV because I'm working.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  This TV is also wirelessly connected to a router.
    Thanks

    No. You need one of the cable listed her:

    (the Digital AV, VGA, Component or Composite ones)

    I want to watch music videos and have them as part of my "Music" app.  This seems to work fine on my iphone but not on my ipad.  Is there a fix coming for this in the near future?

    Nope, no fix coming because it isn't broken. Works that way by design. What version of iOS are you running on the iPhone? Music videos were moved to the Video app some time ago, even for iPhone.

  • Watching HDCP video on Ipad 2

    I thought it would be a simple question but every google attempt and every attempt to find an answer in this community has not answered my question......
    Can a Movie from the Itunes Store that says, "your display and computer must support HDCP" be watched on my Ipad 2 if I download it to my ipad? I don't want to watch it on some other display, just my ipad. When I went to rent it, it mention the above quote and I wished it would have simply said, "it can be watched on Ipad X, but any other display device must support HDCP." Thanks

    Thanks for responding so quickly. Yes, I synced the videos to my iPad just like the first time when I got my iPad the first time. I'm playing them as I played them before just by going to videos and choosing whichever video I wanted to watch. Now I have to use home sharing to be able to watch on my iPad.  Again, I was able to sync these videos before upgrading to iOS5 and had no problems.

  • Problem watching music videos on ipad 2

    Hey, I cannot watch my music videos (itunes originals) on my ipad, but i still can watch them on iphone and macbook. Can please someone explain? Thanks!

    I had this problem and found that I didn't have checked "Include Music Videos" on the device's music page.  I checked that and everything appeared in the Videos app.

  • I can not watch the videos because ipad 2 does not support adobe flash player .Is there a way to solve this problem  ...

    The problem with flash player is definitely negative for a device such as Ipad 2 ...

    Flash is not, and quite possibly never will be, suppported (and which is well known about iOS devices) : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
    Apps such as Skyfire claim to support flash, but their reviews are mixed. Some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there.

  • Watching Flash video on iPad

    How do I look at sites with flash content?

    You can try one of the app/service combinations for playing Flash such as VirtualChrome (the only one that says it also supports Java), Skyfire , Puffin, or iSwifter. One of those might work for you, though they all have limitations and do not work with all sites and services

  • How do I convert MP4 file to AVI or MOV using MacBook Pro (2010)

    I am 10.6.4 new user on a new MacBook Pro. This is my first Mac computer.
    I want to convert a MP4 video file to AVI or MOV file type. How would I do this on my new Mac? Documentation says I have Quicktime X, but I cannot find Quicktime X on my system. When I try to load Quicktime 7 Pro, my system says I have Quicktime X and cannot load Pro. Apple websites say Pro version will allow me to convert the MP4 files. Anyone have any experience or ideas on what I should do? How do I find Quicktime X? Will it do the conversion for me? Thanks

    Use MPEG Streamclip, or open the QuickTime Player from the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, installing this software if needed.

  • Any difference to watch online video & FaceTime between Wifi & LTE?

    Hi, I'm planning to buy an iPad for my mother soon, she don't have interent at home, I'm thinking that should I:
    1) Buy an iPad Wifi+Cellular and let her to use the SIM card to connect internet; or
    2) Buy an iPad Wifi and apply the broadband service for her
    - May I ask is there any diffenent to watch online video on iPad between wifi connection and cellular connection? Is it able to watch HD quality online video if using SIM card connected to internet? (Because I remember that the video quality is much poor if I use SIM card to connect internet long long time ago)
    - May I also ask if I can use FaceTime with SIM card connection as well?
    Thank you for your help.

    Thank you for your help! Sorry my message may misleaded...
    I'm planning to use Rogers in Ont, Canada, I guess 5GB per month is enough for my mom in the beginning, and LTE is faster than the lower cost broadband service that offer by Rogers, so both idea should work, but I'm still cannot make any decision because of the iOS system on HD video viewing and FaceTime connection:
    1) May I ask is there any diffenent to watch online video on iPad between wifi connection and cellular connection? Is it able to watch HD quality online video if using SIM card connected to internet?
    Because I remember that the video quality is much poor if I use SIM card to connect internet long long time ago, the quality was automatically compressed when watching online video with 3G mode, but it's long time ago, not sure now.
    2) May I also ask if I can use FaceTime with SIM card connection as well (LTE)?

  • Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well,

    Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well, but what can I do for QuickTime opens on .avi and doesn't convert to .mov?

    HI GalaxieMusique,
    I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
    I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
    Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
    I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
    In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
    http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
    and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
    Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
    If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

  • I can't watch a video with the extension mpg or avi or anyother one using flexplayer for my ipad. Which player i can download to watch the videos that i receive in my email?

    I can't watch a video with the extension mpg or avi or anyother one using flexplayer for my ipad. Which player i can download to watch the videos that i receive in my email?

    Unfortunatelly, something’s not working fine on Flexplayer during the last cupple of months. A lot of updates have been released lately and the problems persist. Since iOS 6 was on the air, the problems became even worst. It’s a shame, but I think it’s time to change the app we are using. The alternative I found is 8Player, it works fine, similar to Flexplayer (but nicer interfase), and the best is that it supports “.flv” (not sure Flexplayer did). You can save your files to your hard disc using iTunes and then transfer them again to your idevice, once you’ve installed 8Player. I hope this helps. Bye bye Flexplayer!!

    Have you contacted app support or maybe view this video from the website? Are you trying to play them within the app itself? Did you double tap on the video that you want to watch?
