What video formats does iPad support?
The standard player of the iOS operating system, on which iPad of any version runs, supports exclusively MPEG4 video. This format supports videos with “mp4” as well as “m4v” extensions.
Although these video files are extremely common and almost half of the videos have a similar extension, “mp4” and “m4v” files are mainly small videos, for example, video clips. They try to convert films and TV series into other formats, such as:
- AVI;
- MPG;
- MPEG;
- WMV.
Therefore, before transferring a movie to an Apple tablet, you should make sure whether the device can play this video file. If necessary, the user must re-encode the video format.
