Playing .MOV files on iPad
Forgive me if this has been asked before, but does anyone have a
recommendation for playing .MOV video files (with audio included) on a first generation iPad? They import OK into the photo folder but I cannot figure how to make them play. Thanks in advance for all constructive advice! |

From what I understand the iPad does not support .MOV files, so you need to convert to H.264, mpeg-4, or M-jpeg. You might try Handbrake, it has always worked for making appropriate conversions for me.

(though I have yet to get an iPad) http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/BuiltInPresets I guess what I need is something like QuickTime in IOS format, Duck. I'm trying to avoid hauling a Laptop to a shoot that will pretty much 'Run 'n Gun' and trying to keep from hauling too much extra stuff around, what with camera, tripod, mikes, mixers, fishpoles, etc. The playback audio on the EOS7 speaker is just awful, so conversion is not really an option for checking as we go. This is a test to see if video shot with a DSLR could really be a low budget alternative to a pro video camera. Thanks for the info, BTW! |

Thanks in advance for all constructive advice! ..mov is just a container, which could be anything. the ipad only plays h.264 and mpeg, so unless the .mov file uses either of those (which it does not appear to), you will have to convert it. the easiest way to do that is with handbrake. pick the apple universal profile. |

If I have to convert it, then I have to take along a MacBook Pro to run the handbrake software anyway, since I haven't found any converter for the iPad OS. So it's a moot point since I'm trying to reduce bulk. But thanks for the information anyway! |

I think, but am not sure, that iTunes will import .MOV files and convert them to video that then syncs with the iPad. If it does not, QuickTime should do that conversion for you. I have to admit that like many Mac users, I don't pay attention to which of the built in programs is doing what at any particular moment. -- Michael |

You could try the VLC Media Player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ios.html although it seems to have been withdrawn from the App Store. David |
