The iPad and new iPad 2 offers one of the best video experience in portable devices. Its 9.7-inch backlit-LED IPS display could not be better to play HD video on the go. Even though the iPad has that HD feel, there are plenty of HD files it can't stomach — the maximum resolution for videos to sync via iTunes is 720p, and anything higher (1080i or 1080p) simply won't transfer. Generally, movies or TV shows purchased from iTunes will arrive with versions tuned for both devices, but for anything you've created independently of the store, you may run into a spot of trouble.

I've been poking around with different ways to downsampling the 1080i/p videos to a more manageable resolution onto the iPad, Unusually for an Apple product, there is no easy way to perform this task. But today I will introduce a step by step guide on how to get High-def videos onto iPad/iPad 2, enjoy H.264 high definition video up to 720p, 30 frames per second.

Step 1: Add HD video files

Step 2: Edit HD videos: crop, trim, add effects, add watermark (Optional)
This step is optional step. But when you come to review the HD video your taken and find it's too dark or the focus is blurred, you may wanna fix these flaws and apply artistic effects with the Edit Video module of the program. Plus, with just a few clicks, you can crop the video to remove black sides, trim the video and add text or image watermark easily as below.


Step 3. Choose H.264 720P MP4 format for iPad
We all know the iPad can only play back H.264 MPEG4 (.mp4) files, choose H.264 720P MP4 from the "Convert to" drop down menu. And in the "Settings" window, all the video/audio parameters are set for playing 1080p on iPad with better quality.


Step 4: Click the "Start" button to get High-def Videos onto iPad/iPad 2 now

iPad 2 is one big, beautiful display — 9.7 inches of high-resolution photos, movies, web pages, books, and more. Even with the new thinner and lighter design, iPad has the same amazing 10-hour battery life. This all makes iPad a decent device for watching videos and movies, But getting movies to the iPad and iPad 2 through iTunes can be expensive. So we look for some alternative ways to get and watch free movies on iPad/iPad 2.

Get and watch free movies on iPad/iPad 2 with Netflix App
Netflix is probably the coolest app for watching free movies on iPad. The official Netflix app is FREE on your iPad/iPad 2, and allows regular Netflix subscribers to manage their DVD and streaming queues. It allows you to stream the same shows and movies available online.


Get and watch free movies on iPad/iPad 2 with iPad Movie Converter
If you are a movie nut who owns lot and lots of great DVD movies that you dream of watching on your iPad, don't worry because you can! There are many programs such as Handbrake and iFunia DVD to iPad converter that do this, ranging from free to those that cost $20-$40. They vary in output quality, so try a free download or read reviews before buying.


Get and watch free movies on iPad/iPad 2 with National Film Board
NFB Films for iPad lets you watch over a thousand movies on your iPad. For free. The app taps the NFB's mammoth library of documentaries, features, animated films, trailers (for upcoming NFB releases), and more.


All the movies are streamed to your iPad (via Wi-Fi only), but there's also an ingenious "watch later" option that downloads a selected movie for offline viewing--great if you're about to get on a plane or something. These downloads expire after 48 hours, which strikes me as more than fair.

Get and watch free movies on iPad/iPad 2 with Flixster App
Flixster shows you movie times at your local theaters and lets you buy tickets. It also shows ratings from Rotten Tomatoes and lets you play trailers for upcoming films. Sometimes it can be annoying, like when it pops up an advert for a film that you have to dismiss before you can use the app.


Conclusion
I have provided a list of resources that I feel will give you a good start in finding free movies for your iPad. I myself prefer to watch movies on iPad with iPad movie converter as I have a large collection of DVDS, and its more convenient for me.

"I'm getting an iPad 2 soon and I have a bunch of videos that are formatted in AVI movie file, and want to be able to watch the AVI movies on my iPad 2. I looked on the iPad 2 spec sheet and it seems to be able to play a few formats. But it seems that it can't play AVI videos, So Is there a free software which can enable me watch and play movies on iPad 2 for free."

According to Apple's iPad 2 tech specs, the iPad/iPad 2 does indeed support a type of AVI video: "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." Some Mac users might not know about video file formats. In other words, iPad supports some types of video cameras output files, displaying AVI footage via the camera card reader accessory. But it won't let you watch downloaded AVI movies on iPad/iPad 2.

Free App Plays AVI Movies on iPad/iPad 2
CineXPlayer, an iPad video player that allows you to watch Xvid (AVI) movies on iPad. It is a free app to use and you can start by copying videos to your iPad by way of iTunes File Sharing feature. First, install it. Second, drag any AVI files you have into the app's file-sharing section in iTunes, just like you do with comics, Pages documents and the like. That's it. To play a movie, just open CineXPlayer and tap on the filename. You get Play/Pause, volume and skip-to-beginning buttons, along with a zoom button, and that's it. The video just work and the sound is way louder than what you get in the too-quiet built-in player.

How to Put Home Videos onto iPad/iPad 2
iPad 2 supported video format and audio format

Apple introduced iPad 2, the next generation of its magical device for browsing the web, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music and much more. iPad 2 features an entirely new design that is 33 percent thinner and up to 15 percent lighter than the original iPad, while maintaining the same stunning 9.7-inch LED-backlit LCD screen.

Its stunning 9.7-inch LED-backlit LCD screen is far superior to a smartphone for showing off snapshots and home movies. Getting photos onto the device isn't too hard. But putting your home movies onto the iPad so you can share them is not nearly as easy, especially if you're syncing the tablet to a Windows machine. Here we introduce 3 different ways to help you put home movies onto iPad/iPad 2 on Mac.

Things You'll Need
* iPad or iPad 2
* Video files want to put onto iPad
* iPad Video Converter like iFunia
* Well Network
* Enough Free storage on iPad(2)

Method 1. Put Home Videos onto the iPad/iPad 2 with iPad Video Converter
This is one of the easiest ways to Put Home Videos onto the iPad/iPad 2. I'm currently using iFunia iPad Video Converter. It provides optimized presets for your iPad/iPad 2, so you don't need to worry about the output settings for your Apple iPad. And unlike some tools, it doesn't seem to use the video card's processor either. But it does batch operations–a whole directory of files at once–and you can't beat the price.


Once you've got the files converted, there's the issue of getting them onto your iPad/iPad 2. Most people I've talked to put their videos in a special folder and use the "Add file [or folder] to library" function in iTunes to get these files into the "Movies" section of the app. I prefer to put videos in the same directories as photos. Then, if you have your Tunes configuration for your iPad set to monitor these photo directories, it'll pick up properly encoded videos and display them in your photo viewer on the iPad (and not in the "Videos" app).

Method 2. Put Home Videos onto the iPad/iPad 2 with Air Video
There are also ways you can stream your videos into the iPad/iPad 2, either from your PC itself or over the Web. Use the excellent Air Video application to give your iPad access to every single video stored on your PC. The PC-side "server" part of this app does the conversion for you as necessary. Videos can be streamed over your local network or the Internet. The iPad Air Video app is $2.99 , though you do have to leave on your PC to view your videos.


If you have a current (Wi-Fi-only) iPad/iPad 2, Air Video requires that you're connected to a local Wi-Fi router to work, so you cannot rely on using this app in houses that don't have wireless, or where you don't know the router's password.

Method 3. Put Home Videos onto the iPad/iPad 2 with YouTube
Finally, the easiest, cheapest, and slowest way to put videos onto your iPad/iPad 2: use YouTube. Upload the videos you like and set them to private. Then configure the YouTube app on your iPad with your account info. You'll be able to play your videos wherever you have a connection. But uploading to YouTube can be slow.

Conclusion
My solution right now: I'll use the iPad converter software if I know I'm visiting a relative who will want to see the latest home movies of my family. Otherwise, I'm relying on Air Video because it doesn't require any advance planning.

What is MKV
MKV (.MKV), acronym for the Matroska Multimedia Container, is an open standard free container format, a file format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture or subtitle tracks inside a single file. It aims to become the standard of multimedia container formats, it contains three file types: MKV for video files (including audios and subtitles); MKS for subtitles (only subtitles); MKA for audio files only. It is an open and free container format, which can keep a number of video, audio, picture subtitle components in just one file. To store HD video files is the most common use of MKV files.

How to play MKV files on Mac
There are many softwares that has native Matroska support. I recommend trying either MPlayer OS X or VLC Media Player. They are all free.

This digital video age is full of various video formats. This article shows some useful tips about how to make successful video conversion on Mac OS with ifunia video converter pro.

Tip 1 - Understand Some Basic Knowledge
A thick tedious book full of abstruse scientific terms is needed to know what each video format means and the details how various video formats are created. But we don't have to be a scientist in order to make a video conversion, some basic knowledge is enough.

Most video files have at least two different types: the container, and the codec.
* A container format is a computer file format that can contain various types of data, compressed in a manner of standardized codecs. The container describes the structure of the file: where the various pieces are stored, how they are interleaved, and which codecs are used by which pieces. It may also specify an audio codec as well as video.
* Codec, short for compressor/decompressor, allows you to store the digital music, photos, and movies in the form of compact, manageable files, which can then be opened or decompressed to deliver the original contents. The common video codecs include DivX, XviD, 3ivx, MPEG(MPEG-1,2,3,4), ReadVideo.

A video can be thought of as being made up of numerous snapshots, called frames. Frame rate is the number of still pictures per unit of time of video, and most often expressed in frames per second (fps). Motion pictures shot on film do so at 24 FPS. Both video and audio file resolution is measured in kilobytes per second (kbps) — that is, how many thousands of bytes it takes to store one second of sound or videos. This figure is known as the bitrate. A higher bitrate allows better video quality.

Aspect ratio describes the dimensions of video screens and video picture elements. All popular video formats are rectilinear, and so can be described by a ratio between width and height. The screen aspect ratio of a traditional television screen is 4:3, or about 1.33:1. High definition televisions use an aspect ratio of 16:9, or about 1.78:1. The aspect ratio of a full 35 mm film frame with soundtrack (also known as the Academy ratio) is 1.375:1.

Video is made up of static pictures being flashed before us in rapid succession. When we talk about picture resolution we are referring to the elements, pixels, which make up the pictures. For example, iPod classic video is 320*240.

Finally, theoretically video conversion won’t improve video quality. You shall not expect better quality than source video.

Tip 2- How a Mac video converter program can help your everyday life
Home Video: There are almost 100 million iPhone users worldwide, many of them using Mac OS. There are many Mac Video Converter Software allows you convert popular video formats to iPhone compatible video, so you can fast convert and enjoy video entertainment on iPhone with ease.

Online Video: YouTube is gaining in popularity every day. Many Mac video converters enable you to download and convert the Flash video on YouTube to file formats you can transfer to your iPod or other portable device and share with friends. This is great for other video files you've downloaded off the Internet like RealMedia videos.

Tip 3 - Find and Buy One Good Video Converter
A good video converter is vital to whether you can successfully finish video conversion. There are tons of available Mac video converter applications. Good Mac video conversion software can make you look like a video whiz with minimal effort. Since most video converters are trialware, you can try before purchasing.

Tip 4 - Make Appropriate Setting
A lot of the ugly-looking grainy clips you see online are the victims of bad conversion practices. Poorly encoded or converted video can end up looking horrible, which is an eye torture.

To avoid this, you need to make sure you take the correct output settings. Some video converters have provided some convenient way to optimize the output. In iFunia Video Converter Pro, there are various preset optimized profiles which can be used to fit diverse multimedia devices.


Those preloaded profiles cover most our requirements. But you can still modify some parameters according to your specialized requirements. As introduced in Tip 1, you can customize the frame rate, bitrate, video size, aspect ratio, etc., to get best result. For example, you can increase the value of video/audio bitrate to get a higher image/sound quality and for a compressed file you can decrease the value. You can save the customized profile for handier usage and quicker access in the future.

Tip 5 - Editing Video in Your Way
Stop thinking video editing requires professional expertise and only Hollywood geek could do it. Most video converters allow you to add a wide variety of eye–popping effects to your videos. You can clip, crop, apply visual effects, and add background music, subtitle and watermark to personalize your movies, transform it into a work of art. Good video converter tool usually provides detailed help information which is easy to understand. Feel free to try out the available editing functions then you will master them.

Tip 6 - Practice More and Share with Others
The best way to sharpen your video conversion skill is through practice. You may explore the video converter with different setting and apply more effects. In addition, though understanding everything about video formats just isn't an option for most, knowing more knowledge will make your video conversion job better. You might want to take a look at some video knowledge websites like Videohelp.com etc. You can share your experience with others and also learn some advanced skills from other people. You may also publish you videos on some websites to show off your accomplishments.
