Title: I want to play MP4 on my ipad2
Post by: Crafty on December 26, 2011, 02:06:03 AM

How can i play Mp4 movies on my ipad2? I am sick of purchasing programs that say they do this easily only to never work or are to complicated. Is there a quick and easy way because all i get right now when I try to do this is a message saying the file is to big for your iphone? This is an Ipad2 not an iphone so I have no idea why it says iphone. Thankyou!!

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but doesn't the iPad 2(and for that matter all iDevices) support H264 .mp4s? You could just drag your video into iTunes and do a sync...

And if that doesn't work, use either HandBrake (http://handbrake.fr/) or FormatFactory (http://www.formatoz.com/) (both free).
