How to Convert Video Files on iOS

Generally, if we want to watch local video files on an iOS device, we need to make sure they are iTunes-, iPhone-, iPad-, or iPod-compatible first. For the video files that can be accepted by iPhone/iPod touch/iPad, we just connect the device with computer via cable and the open iTunes to sync them to the device. However, for the non-compatible video files, we need to convert them first. A great majority of video converters provide optimized profile presets for Apple devices, so we don't need to know about what formats we should convert the video files into. But if you do want to know, you can check out the Tech Specs page of the device in the Apple official page.

There are numerous video converter software tools that lets you convert video files on Windows or Mac computers. What if you want to convert video files on your iOS devices, like iPad, iPhone or iPod touch? Is there a video converter for iOS? If I want to play the video files stored in my PC on my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch, do I have to use iTunes to sync?

With Video Converter App, you will never need to convert video files on a Windows PC or Mac again so as to play them on iPhone/iPad/iPod touch. Besides, you will skip the iTunes sync process forever. This iOS app lets you easily transfer video files from your computer to your iPad/iPhone/iPod touch for instant conversion and direct playback. It supports a variety of video file formats including AVI, MP4, MPG, WMV, FLV, 3GP, RM, RMVB, TS, MTS, M2TS, MKV, etc. You only need 2 steps to get any video files in your computer to immediately play on your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch.

1. Upload video files via WiFi

Download and install Video Converter App on your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/video-converter-app/id549355396



Run Video Converter App and switch to the WiFi Upload tab.
Open a web browser on your computer.
Type the URL address as shown in the Wi-Fi Upload screen into the address bar.
There will be a Upload button in interface of the browser.
Choose and upload your local video files to your device.

2. Convert video files

When the video files are uploaded to Video Converter App, they will go to the Video Source tab.

Press the Convert Now! button to start converting video files into iTunes-, iPhone-, iPad-, iPod-compatible video.



The converted video files will be added to the Converted Video tab.

When the video files are converted, you can then choose to play them or save them to Photo Library.

Done.

Note: Apart from WiFi Upload, Video Converter App also lets you transfer video files via iTunes File Sharing. It is helpful if the file size is very big or if there's no network connection available.

Video Converter iOS App Transfers Video Files to iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch for Conversion and Playback

The iTunes Store offers a variety of movies, music videos and TV shows which you can purchase, download and transfer to your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch devices for playback. If there are some great video files in your PC and you want to play them on your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch, you have probably noticed that not all of them can be transferred to your device. What's the reason behind? It is due that Apple devices like iPhone, iPad and iPod touch can only support certain .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats. For the video formats like AVI, WMV, MKV, FLV, 3GP, MTS, M2TS, RM, RMVB, etc., you cannot directly transfer them to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices for viewing.

Anyway, there's indirect way to watch the non-compatible video files on an iOS device. You just need a converter to get them converted to iTunes-, iPad-, iPhone-, or iPod-compatible videos. When you get the converted videos, you just add them to iTunes and sync them to your device. It sounds nice. But don't you think it very troublesome? Besides, the converter will cost you dollars.

So is there a more convenient yet free way to convert local video files for playing on iPhone/iPad/iPod touch? The answer is YES and the solution is Video Converter App.

Video Converter App lets you transfer video files from your computer to your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch device for instant conversion and direct playback. You can choose to transfer video files to your device either by WiFi Upload or via iTunes File Sharing, in queue ready to be converted to iPad/iPhone/iPod compatible video files.

5 Different Ways to Play WMV on Mac

Windows Media Video (WMV) is a video compression format for several proprietary codecs developed by Microsoft. WMV files typically are played in Windows Media Player which cannot be installed on Mac. There is no need to worry about this problem. Plenty of solutions are available to play WMV videos on Mac and you can go ahead. Here are five different ways to play WMV videos on Mac. Of course, it is essential to download a third-party program to do the job.

1. MPlayerX



The interface of MPlayerX is a little similar to Quick Time interface but that’s about where the similarities end. MPlayerX can play any videos imported into it with flying colors. WMV is without exception. Since it supports so many popular (mkv, divx, etc) and obscure formats, MPlayer is said tobe one of the best free video players for the Mac machine.

2. VLC



VLC can play virtually any video format available. It's cross-platform compatible, quick and free. VLC also works fine with obscure audio formats, and if you would like to stream a video from one computer to another you can easily do that. If you want the video codec support of MPlayerX but with even more features aimed at advanced users, VLC is a good choice.

3. Windows Media Player9 for Mac

Windows Media Player 9 for Mac can play both local and streamed WMV and WMA files. It's free of charge. But there is no plan to be upgraded any more.

In general, this player can meet your needs to play WMV files on Mac. However, the discontinue upgrade decision has caused some trouble for Mac users. This player supports Apple Mac OS X version 10.5 or later. When it was released in 2003, some Snow Leopard OS users find it is really a headache to unzip the player 9 download or to get this player to work normally. So if your system does not support this player, turn to other solutions.

4. Clone2Go Video Converter

This method is involving in video conversion. Then you can play the converted video on your Mac apps. Clone2Go Video Converter can convert WMV to almost all popular video formats, such MOV, MP4, AVI, FLV, etc.



Step 1. Install and launch Clone2Go Video Converter. Then add or drag the WMV files to the converter.

Step 2. Set the output format. You can reset the "Start Time" and "Stop Time" by yourself.

Step 3. Click the "Start" button to begin the video conversion.

Finally, you can play the converted video on your Mac players, such as iTunes, QuickTime, etc.

5. Flip4Mac Components

The last but not least one is Flip4Mac, which is a set of video components installed into OS X which helps QuickTime play WMV files directly. It's a perfectly reasonable solution, but it can only support WMV and WMA files. So it is not so useful as VLC or MPlayerX.

You can choose an appropriate solution to play WMV videos on Mac. If you have installed some players on Mac, and you don't want to download any other players, or you usually do some video conversion, you'd better choose the fourth solution. If you would like to download a WMV video player, you can choose the MplayerX or VLC which are more useful in the long term.

Download YouTube Videos to iTunes with Clone2Go Free YouTube Downloader for Mac

If you are fond of watching music videos on YouTube, you will certainly feel very annoyed and frustrated by the embedded ads at the beginning of the videos.

So if you are really crazy about a singer and want to enjoy all his/her music videos on YouTube, why not download them all? No need to pay for the CDs. No need to tolerate the annoying ads.

How to do that? It will be very easy and fast if you have the handy Clone2Go YouTube Downloader app installed to your Mac. This app is totally free of charge. It lets you download any YouTube videos as MP4/3GP/FLV files and save them to your Mac HDD.

I used this tool to download 22 videos (about 5 minutes each) from YouTube and chose MP4 as the output format. I also ticked the "HD MP4 if it is availble" option. After choosing all of them for downloading, I went out for lunch. When I came back in about 30 minutes, I found that all the videos had been fully downloaded. I was very happy as I would be able to enjoy them later in the afternoon.

I also tried importing the downloaded videos into iTunes library. To my excitement, all of them were added to the "Movies" section in the library. I then felt no hesitation to connect my iPad with my Mac laptop and synced the videos to the iPad. Within a few minutes, I could watch all the videos on my iPad. So great!

When I shared this method with my colleagues, they also liked Clone2Go YouTube Downloader app very much. And I'd like to give 5-star award to this great app.

How to Watch DVD's on the iPad

If you have an extensive collection of DVD's lying around, you might be wondering how you can watch them all on your iPad or iPhone. There's nothing quite like watching a movie whilst travelling or when away from home, and the experience can be even better than playing a physical DVD because movies start instantly on iOS. The iPad is an especially good video playback device due to the large screen size and hi-resolution display. HD (1080p or 720p) movies play brilliantly, and it's possible to transfer quite a number of films to the iPad – depending upon the storage capacity you have available.

This article describes the basics of how to watch movies on your iPad.

Introduction

The general process of getting a movie onto your iPad is:

• Insert a DVD movie into your Mac
• Download a video conversion application
• Encode and copy the video to your computer
• Import the movie into iTunes
• Synchronise iTunes with your iPad

There are numerous apps that can help you with the conversion process from DVD to iOS. Some of these apps are relatively complicated, but there are many dedicated apps in the App Store with straightforward settings and simple interfaces. Note that many such apps refuse to convert copy-protected DVD's, but there are usually upgrades or patches available which can get around these limitations. Please be aware of copyright laws and make sure that you don't infringe anybody's copyright!

By far the best option is to obtain some software which can copy the DVD and convert to the correct audio and video formats for iOS, rather than more traditional conversion which is limited to files (i.e. not discs) – in that case, you'll need a separate app to copy the movie files off the DVD to your Mac and another to convert them to the correct multimedia format to play on the iPad.

Apps to Convert DVD's For The iPad

Clone2Go DVD Ripper is one of the best applications available in the App Store to copy (sometimes called "rip") DVD's to your computer. If you don't want to shell out any cash then you can also use a combination of VLC Player and Handbrake to achieve the same results, but you might need a little more technical know-how. The benefit of the Clone2Go DVD Ripper app is that it has inbuilt presets to convert the video to the correct format with simple drag-and-drop interfaces, and everything can be done in one program.

Convert DVD's to iPad with Clone2Go DVD Ripper

Website: App Store, Clone2Go

DVD Ripper has a simple interface which makes it a doddle to convert a DVD. There are lots of built-in presets which are already setup for the target device you want to play on (for example, the iPad, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch, Apple TV, and all manner of other multimedia devices). There are also options to manually tweak the output formats and bit-rates (i.e. the quality of the video) and a choice of multimedia formats (such as H.264 and MPEG-4 video, AAC and MP3 audio) to get the optimal settings. For example, you might want to use a higher quality setting if you feel that the presets aren't good enough. DVD Ripper is also one of the cheaper DVD ripping apps. Once you've copied and converted a DVD, you'll have to import it into iTunes (more on that later).



Copy Your Movie onto the iPad

Once you've managed to convert a DVD to a file in the correct format for iOS, the next step is simply to import the movie into iTunes and perform a sync with the iPad.

From the iTunes File menu, select Add to Library or just hit COMMAND + O and select the movie you want to import. Once that's done, it should appear in the Films section of iTunes. Now, just sync with your iPad in the usual way, and the movie should be there and ready to play!

M2TS is a filename extension used for the Blu-ray Disc Audio-Video (BDAV) MPEG-2 Transport Stream (M2TS) container file format. It is used for multiplexing audio, video and other streams. It is based on the MPEG-2 transport stream container.This container format is commonly used for high definition video on Blu-ray Disc and AVCHD.

M2TS files are used primarily with Sony hardware. Camcorders make use of M2TS in the form of AVCHD, a recording format made specifically for camcorders.

These files are also present on Blu-ray disc compilations, therefore they are capable of storing quite a large amount of information and data tracks.

How to import M2TS into Windows DVD Maker?

If you want to edit the camcorder captured AVCHD M2TS video file in Windows DVD Maker and burn M2TS to DVD within DVD Maker, you need to convert the M2TS video first, as Windows DVD Maker only supports video formats such as avi, mpg, m1v, mpeg, mpe, mpv2, wm, wmv, dvr-ms, wtv and asf.

How to Convert DVD to iTunes for iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch Using HandBrake

No doubt you can purchase movies from the iTunes ready for playback on iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch, but if you already own the DVD, you don't want to waste your money on the same movie a second time. Instead, you can rip the DVD to an MPEG-4 video file on your computer, add it to iTunes Library, and then sync it to your iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch. The program I'd like to recommend to do this is called HandBrake, and it works great on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.

Step 1. Download HandBrake from http://handbrake.fr/?article=download to Mac and install it.



Step 2. Insert a DVD and launch HandBrake. If HandBrake doesn't recognize the DVD as a source automatically, you may have to click "Browse" and direct HandBrake to your DVD drive.

Step 3. HandBrake will analyze the DVD and let you choose the title and chapters you want to rip for your iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch (in general, you'll want the first title and every chapter). You can get an idea of which title is the main DVD title by choosing the title duration that matches the movie's playtime.

Step 4. Click the "Presets" button on the top right of the HandBrake window on the Mac. You'll see several presets; choose the iPhone and iPod Touch or iPad preset.

Step 5. Now just click the Start button and sit back while HandBrake rips the DVD to one big file. This can take a while, so you won't be able to rip a DVD on your way out the door to the airport. Make sure you plan ahead.

Step 6. When HandBrake finishes ripping the DVD, drag the file into iTunes for syncing to your iPad/iPod Touch/iPhone whenever you want to.

Though HandBrake works great for ripping DVD on Mac, it:

1. Cannot merge DVD chapters into as a single file. You will get sparate video files rather than a whole movie file.
2. Cannot preview the movie before encoding.
3. Cannot trim the movie segment.
4. Cannot extract sound tracks from DVD as audio file.
5. Only supports M4V, MP4, MKV, AVI, OGM output formats.
6. Cannot well customize profile for the output file.
7. Only supports a few mobile players like iPod Touch, iPhone, Apple TV, etc.

So if you need advanced DVD ripping features, HandBrake may not be the perfect choice. It is recommended downloading Clone2Go DVD Ripper for Mac to rip DVD to all popular video or audio formats on Mac OS X (including OS X 10.7 Lion).
