What movie formats can play on my iPad?

What formats are playable on my iPad (or MacBook Air, or Mac Pro)? Is it mp4 or m4v? I am going to convert several of my DVD disks for my Mac Devices.
Thanks!

Ok, I give - what movie formats CAN I import?

I've been able to import almost anything to iMovie '06.
I have not been able to import any movies to iMovie '08; I've got QT Pro, and have tried exporting an .AVI in a bunch of different formats, but '08 won't recognize anything...
Any help appreciated!
thx
Andrew

I've been able to import almost anything to iMovie '06.
There are three levels of QT compatibility:
1) Playback Only -- these files (like muxed MPEG-1) can be played in QT based applications but cannot be properly converted to other QT compression formats or edited in QT based applications.
2) Conversion Compatible -- these files will playback in QT applications and can be converted to other QT compatible compression formats but canned be edited natively.
3) Fully compatible -- these files can be played, converted, and/or edited natively in QT applications.
To be imported into iMovie '06 and earlier versions, file need only be "Conversion Compatible" since these older applications automatically converted the files to DV compression for editing. Even MPEG-1 muxed files would be converted only losing the audio content during the import/conversion process. iMovie '08, on the other hand, will edit files natively in a number of different compression formats. Unfortunately, since these files are not converted during the import process, iMovie '08 will not import anything it cannot edit. So if either the audio and/or the video compression format in a movie is not editable, the the file will not be imported until converted by the the user.

iMovie '08 is known to be compatible with DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, and MJPEG video compression. Apple Video and Apple Animation compression formats can also be imported and edited but appear to have a bug in their export which is only rendered as a "black" display screen. Uncompressed, DV, "Big Endian", MPEG-4 audio (AAC), and, AIFF are known to be audio compatible while µ-Law and DVI ADPCM audio are not editable. Since AVI files can contain any number of audio and video compression formats in almost any combination, you need to ckeck to see what is and what is not compatible. A Casio MJPEG/DVI ADPCM file will not import/edit until the audio is converted to an editable format like AAC. The same holds try for a Kodak MOV file containing MPEG4/µ-Law.

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?
I writed to Panasonic Italy support about this question:
"What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?"
Panasonic writed me in a very poor manner and said me:
"...riproduce formati: AVCHD (anche 3D), SD-Video, DivXHD, JPEG, MP3, AAC tramite USB e Slot SD/SDHC/SDXC card..."
"...formato : AVCHD estensione file nella SD: .MTS..."
I made a few videos edited with PremiereProCS5 and exported as H.264 Coding and .mp4 file extension, all side by side, with layout 1920x1080pixels that includes two stretched frames at 960x1080 pixels.
This is the same image layout that uses the Panasonic 3D consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", that record AVCHD videos with file extension .MTS.
I also tried to export another video as MPEG2 with .mpg file extension.
But at the store the tests failed, and I cannot see anything!
My questions are:
1) What format can be used by PremiereProCS5 for exporting the Stereoscopic 3D videoclip and play them via USB port on Panasonic TVPlasma3D such "TX-P46VT20"?
2) What codec should be used? H.264? H.264-bluray?
3) What file extension should have the movie file? .mp4?
Many Thanks!

-I already read entirely those threads, but nothing about stereoscopic 3D AVCHD movies through USB port, on Panasonic TVPlasma3D.
(Also, Sony said me that is not possible to play 3D videos on your 3DTV through USB port).
I tried to made a H.264 videoclip, with .MP4 extension, at 960x1080p side-by-side layout, but nothing was displayed, and black screen.
I think that just the AVCHD movies, with .MTS extension, that comes from Panasonic consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", can play the 3D videos via HDMI cable, not USB port.
But not the exported videos from PremierePro via USB port.
I seen this tutorial from David K Helmly:
http://www.youtube.com/user/dhelmly#p/a/u/1/_YtF0c2bmkw
Dave export the video from PremiereProCS5 as "MPEG2-bluray" format with "Match Source Attributes (HighQuality)" Preset, and build the Bluray Disc in EncoreCS5, with the footage as MPEG2 with .m2v file extension:
1) Anyone tried to play correctly in 3D, those MPEG2-.m2v side-by-side files, in Panasonic3DTV, with BlurayDiscReader?
2) Why MPEG2.m2v side-by-side?
3) The official standard stereoscopic 3D format, is not the .MVC (MultiViewCoding) for Bluray3D Disc?
I am confused!
Help!

Anything that will play from Samba network file store..
You will probably also need filebrowser loaded on the ipad to find the files.
Is the ipad necessary btw.. ?? If you only want to play the file to your TV you can buy a WD Live TV.. unlike the Apple TV it is a media player.. and can play files of almost any format direct from the TC.

I need an app for my Mac Pro to convert MP4 to MOV format to play in a DVD player

I need an app for my Mac Book Pro to convert MP4 to MOV format to play in a DVD player. Thanks

Quicktime can do this.
Open the MP4 in Quicktime Player. From the menu bar, File >Export > select quality. The subsequent file will be saved as .mov
Alternatively, you can simply change the extension on the mp4 file to mov since the codec is the same.
*I should mention that .mov format is not DVD format (TS_VIDEO), and the DVD will not play in a DVD player, even if you successfully burn the file to it.

What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can use, and what file formats can be used?

What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can read from and write to when inserted into the built-in 2-in-1 card reader? What file formats can be used with aforementioned MMC and SD cards?i.e. FAT, FAT 32, exFAT, etc.

Thank you for you help. I forgot to mention what is the highest class of SD card it can use at top speed, and are there any classes that will simply not work? An example answer would be, the highest speed that it can operate at clase 6, with class 8 being the highest class compatible; class 10 will not work. Also note, there are new cards faster than class 10. I have seen symbols like U1 and U3. I don't expect a discount computer to run an SD card faster than class 10, but it is important to know if U1 and U3 at least work.

Applications in dashboard not opening/what movie formats are best?

what movie format is best to download onto macbook? None of my usual applications (vuze, VLC, quicktime player) are responding/opening! I've always had trouble happening upon congruent formats, so that's my first question. Secondly, vuze which I usually use, has just stopped opening. The 'vuze downloads' window will open, but none of the movies in it will open, and the application itself won't pop up with its usual big window. The little vuze icon is still in my dashboard, though. I tried re-starting vuze, but it didn't do anything. QuickTime player won't respond either. HELP!!

What movie formats play on ipod touch

I just tried synching my iPod with my Mac, three short (10-12 min each) movies in *.mov format. iPod says it won't synch them because it can't play them. Doesn't tell me what it can play though.
Don't you hate it when a program goes all coy on you?

Oops, not so fast.
HandBrake did change formats, but when I try to load them onto my iPod, I get the same error message: [paraphrase] will not load because the format is one this iPod cannot play.
So I guess my question stands.
If there are presets for formats for iPod . . . I failed to see and/or take advantage of them, I fear. Will take another look, of course.

What file formats can itunes play?

After looking at hundreds of posts, I got fed up and decided to ask these questions. What file formats does itunes play and how can you change/adjust them? I thought there was a place to do this when I installed itunes, but I haven't been able to find it so far.
Thanks

Thanks for the help, but my question is still unanswered, I want to know how to associate different file types with iTunes, maybe I am not asking the question correctly, or don't know the terminology. I know that my real player can be made to associate different file types from the tools menu, I check off the boxes with the different extensions, like, .mp3, wav, midi, .ogg, etc... I thought there was a feature like this on iTunes, but I can't find it, is it only available when I install it?
