Why can't I play h264 1080i video on my iPad?

I tried to play a H264 1080i video on my iPad & iPad mini devices (both of them are IOS-7), but only displayed black screen. I want to know if it is because IOS-7 doesn't support such kind of codec?

Per Apple:
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 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

Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device. Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit. I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment

Can't you play quick time videos on an iPad?

I'm trying to play a video on my iPad, that has been formatted for Quicktime, and plays on my iMac,
but I get an error message when I try to upload that video from iTunes into my iPad. Don't Quicktime
movies MOV play on an iPad? Seems kinda silly if it doesn't.

Yes if in the correct format. A QuickTime movie that plays on your Mac and in iTunes alone does not ensure this. Copied from this link.

Why can't i play you tube videos on my new macbook pro?

i've downloaded adobe flash player for mac on safari, but i'm still unable to play videos on you tube, can somebody help please?

The Flash plug-in failure on Lion, is a Safari issue that can be fixed with these steps:
My Flash Player plug-in would not play videos on YouTube (using Safari in Lion). It turned out that my Safari settings needed to be reset after the recent Lion 10.7.4 and Flash upgrades. I called Apple tech...
This is what we did to fix it:
1. Open Safari.
2. Go to top left menu, under "Safari" click on "Reset Safari."
3. UNCHECK the first two boxes, leave the next three checked, plus UNCHECK the next two, and keep the last three checked.
4. Hit "Reset"
5. After the reset finishes, Safari will relaunch and you can test Flash by going to YouTube to see that videos will now play.
Thanks Apple Care!

Why can't I see a Youtube video in my iPad?.

I am trying to see a video from youtube but it send me a message that the video is not formated for mobile. There are other video that can be seen but not this one. Why?

Because whoever submitted it did not format it for mobile and YouTube has not yet converted it to h.264.

Why won't sound play with YouTube video on my iPad

How do I get sound to play with video? I was trying to play YouTube video from a Facebook post (using app). Video plays, but no sound. How do I fix it?

I am also having this problem, and its confusing the crap out of me when I try to fix it. Between the general settings for "use side switch to:" and the sound settings for ringer and alerts and the lock sound option, I can not figure out the combination to get the sound to work normally. All of a sudden it just had no sound. I think I have tried all the options, changed all of them and there is still no sound, on anything. No Ipad sounds, no keyboard sounds, no video sound, nothing. When I push the volume button up, I get a box in the middle of the screen with a bell that says "sound effects" but there is no bar at the bottom of the box that would usually show the volume going up and down. I click the volume to go up a few times and it just shows me that bell box for sound effects. I have reset the Ipad, and that didn't help. What's even more strange is that in the last few weeks, it has had volume a few times, and then it just stops again. No damage has occurred, no water damage, or dropped at all. Please, someone give me clear step by step directions on how all the settings need to be set. Please?? Thanks.

Why can't I play a synced playlist on my iPad?

I just synced a playlist (for the first time) to my iPad and the songs show up but they're greyed out and I can't play those songs. How come?

if the songs are greyed out, there was a problem during the sync.. so you will need to go back and uncheck the sync box apply and sync.. and then check it again and apply and sync which should fix that right up!!

I am going to contact my internet provider. Thank you.

Why can't I play Face Book games on iPad?

Why can't I play Face Book games on my iPad?

You can play many of them, at least the ones found in the App Store. Others you might be able to play by using one of the alternate browsers or apps out there that allow you to 'play' Flash games.
You can't play them in the way you're used to because, well ..... pick from the following:
You aren't using what you're used to using, and it doesn't do things the same way that you're used to doing them.
FaceBook was created by children, for children, and uses Flash ... which does not exist on Apple mobile devices.

Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.
Cheers

Why can't I play any videos on Firefox Mobile? I know that currently Firefox Mobile does not support Flash, but mp4 videos will not play either.

I fixed it by rebooting, now everything works. Thanks Demo, for your help.

Why can't I get live streaming video to play

Why can't I get live streaming video to play in Safari?

Sorry, but that is old info. On my 21" iMac, I'm running 10.7.1 and the version of Safari is 5.1. On my 24" iMac, I'm running 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1. I have even tried to get it to run in Firefox and still no results. I've been able to do live streaming previously, but today I'm hitting a road block. Could there be a setting or preference that I do not have set properly?

Quicktime 7.6.4 won't play h264 encoded videos on my 10.4.11 MacMini

Hello:
This is my first post. I read through the forums and this seems to be the correct place to pose my question. If it's not, my apologizes.
I'm trying to find out why Quicktime 7.6.4 won't play h264-encoded video on my MacMini (G4 PPC). I'm running 10.4.11. I recently installed Perian 1.2.1 and it got some .avi files to play correctly, whereas before there was no sound. But the h264 files still get me a black screen, albeit with sound now. Some h264 files can be played in VLC Media Player (but that's a horrible player compared to Quicktime in my opinion, as it constantly drops frames and eats 100% of my processor time), but VLC even has the black screen problem on some h264 files as well.
I've also tried MPlayer OSX but that's really an alpha-type development and has a lot of bugs. Many movies it can't even open.
Sorry for the rambling, but again my question: Is there any way to play h264-encoded video in Quicktime 7.6.4 on my Mac?
Thanks in advance for your expertise and advice.

Mr Ram,
There is a group of Quicktime specialists in Apple.com ⇒ Support ⇒ Discussions ⇒ Quicktime .
The more data you give us, the easier it is to help us help you to diagnose your problem. Your disk space would be very useful. Contrary to some, I advocate iDefrag to assist VLC and MPlayer, which you were a little hard on.
GNU/Linux's free offerings
MPlayer was developed a decade ago, and I prefer it for viewing DVDs (for 'DVD Player') seems too dark. VLC (legally) copies many CRM-protected DVDs of yours, so you can play only the burned copy. When I'm having a problem playing a DVD, the VLC log tells me all: only perfect DVDs play well on VLC.
There are two ways of viewing everything.
Streaming MPEG-4
+H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ is a fancy codec based upon MPEG-4: it requires a powerful processor to de-compress it. I watched an MPEG-4 movie from a G3 iBook in 2005. It played flawlessly.
Your Problem
Quicktime 7.X applications can not play +H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ streams. It was a bug Apple never fixed. Frames are dropped because H.264 is so slow that it requires special hardware. You, I'm sad to say, don't have it.
To quote the Wikipedia on Quicktime: 'QuickTime 7 lacks support for H.264's Sample Aspect Ratio .[67] QuickTime X does not have this limitation; many Apple products (such as iTunes and Apple TV) still use the older QuickTime 7 engine.'
My Quicktime Pro on a PPC PowerBook is 7.6.4. You can either use a Linux transplant or upgrade to Quicktime X. Those more familiar with Macs may have better ideas for you.
My best,
Bruce
