Watching YouTube on iPad...MP4 video format

I have been watching YouTube on my iPad 2 for a long time. I watch the videos from the full website instead of the app. Recently, a YouTube channel that I've been watching for a long time changed the format of their videos, MP4, and now I can't watch them anymore. An error comes up on the screen saying that I can't watch the video. Other channels work fine. Is there a problem with my iPad? Thanks for your help.

Not ALL MP4 can play on the iPhone (or, for that matter, any phone). MP4 supports a wide variety of resolutions and bitrates that are simply outside the capacity of the device to play back (and for that matter, you can use some MP4 features that don't apply to phone playback).
Anyway, the simple thing to do in iTunes is to select the video and then go to the Advanced menu and select "Make iPad / iPhone version" (or something like that). Then, sync.
Sepcifically, the iPhone 4 supports:
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 per channel, 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

Can Quicktime Pro convert .mkv video formats to mp4 video formats

I purchased Quicktime Pro believing it could convert .mkv video formats to MP4 video formats, however, the resulting output file is just a 60kb file from an original 971,936 kb file.
I registered the key as given to me in the purchase receipt email, I used Export to MRP, I selected the input .mkv file. All seemed to be OK until it ended creating the short 60kb file.
Suggestions please.

As indicated on the Apple web site, keying the QT Player for "Pro" use merely unlocks editing and conversion features built into the app but not available without the key. It does not add any new file type or codec support beyond that for which the QT Player is already configured on your platform.
I registered the key as given to me in the purchase receipt email, I used Export to MRP, I selected the input .mkv file. All seemed to be OK until it ended creating the short 60kb file.
An MKV file will convert only if you have support for both the MKV file container (which is not natively QT compatible) and codecs to handle the specific codecs contained in the MKV file container if available for QT use.
Suggestions please.
I do not normally use MKV files on a daily basis and so, on those occasions when I do need to use them as a source for conversions to mobile devices, I use the free HandBrake application. As I see it, you can either try to add the missing support needed to use QT 7 Pro or you could download HandBrake for iTunes managed/mobile device files or use FFmpeg (on which HandBrake is based) for more general target conversions. As a non-PC user, I am assuming here that the Windows versions of both the HandBrake and FFmpeg apps have the same features as are available in the Mac versions of these apps.

I can not watch YouTube safari. The video came out black ,but it has sound

I can not watch YouTube on safari. It came out black screen , but it had sound.

Does it work on the YouTube app ? Other people have been posting the same issue with YouTube over the past few days - see if the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How do I open or import my mp4 video formats into Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 without a blur?

I use a Sanyo Xacti Vpc-cg10, and it imports mp4 files, but I can't seem to find out to import and use my videos to edit. I've tried finding a preset to use with the format but they all have a blur to them. Please Help!

Have you tried dragging your footage to the NEW ITEM button to have CS5 create a sequence that matches your footage ?

Is it possible to hook a USB external hard drive to an iPad?.....the HD has video on it that I wanna watch on my iPad but don't wanna store it on iPad or iTunes....and way format does the video need to be in to watch on iPad?

Is it possible to hook a USB external hard drive to an iPad?.....the HD has video on it that I wanna watch on my iPad but don't wanna store it on iPad or iTunes....and way format does the video need to be in to watch on iPad?

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:

You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Video format to play in iPad vertical ?

I made a movie in AfterEffects that I want to play on my iPad 2. I want it to fill the screen when I hold the iPad vertical. So, I made the movie 768 wide x 1024 high.
I exported from AfterEffects as ProRes 422, then took it into Compressor and exported as MPEG-4.
I managed to get it into my iTunes Library on my iMac.
I tried to sync it to my iPad 2, but iTunes on my iMac says "It was not copied to this iPad because it cannot be played on this iPad."
Anybody know how to just copy from iMac to iPad without going through iTunes?
Anybody know what format will work on iPad? The Apple web site lists mp4 and m4v, but I guess they didn't really mean that?
i Yi Yi !

Hello there,
Please tell the complete version of Captivate (help > about adobe captivate).
In which format have you published the output? Is it HTML 5 or MP4 Video format?
And, what kind of video is it? Is it recording done in captivate or have you inserted the video in ypur project?
Thanks.

Video formats supported by iPad

I cannot seem to sync .MOV video format files from my MacBook Air to my iPad - "video format not supported by iPad". My Canon camera saves .MOV format and so does my iPhone. Why then can they not sync and be played on iPad? Some forums suggest that the .MOV files must be tanslated into mp4 formats by paid for apps. Apple makes any kind of data transfer between Apple devices unneccessarily difficult. Or, am I missing something!?

Iphoto video format

Can mp4 video format be loaded into iMovie and if so how? My son shot a bunch of video on his old Go Pro Hero. I have it on a thumb drive. It's in mp4 format. I tried to import it into iMovie. It says its unrecognizable. That doesn't make sense. I also tried to just drag and drop. No go. What am I doing wrong?

How about some information on what you've got and what you're doing so we have something to work with? What version of iPhoto, what camera, what video format, do you have Quicktime Player 7 installed, etc?

I recored a video with my ipad, downloaded it to my mac but I cant upload it to Youtube because the format IMG is not a video format. How can I convert it?

How can I convert a video I took with my ipad on the format IMG to a supported format for Youtube?

To upload videos to YouTube we have to make sure videos are in a format that YouTube accepts. Here’s the list of some well-known video formats which YouTube supports:
WebM files (Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codec)
MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files – (typically supporting h264 and mpeg4 video codecs and AAC audio codec)
AVI (Many cameras output this format – typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM)
MPEGPS (Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio)
WMV)
FLV (Adobe – FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio)
But I think you get the wrong video file. iPad recorded video files are in m4v, mp4, mov, avi format but not the img files. Anyway, if you need a video converter, Format factory or iFunia video converter are good choice.
Good luck!
