Jules<\/a> sent me a link on how to compress video for the iPad<\/a>. I am not against folks trying to make money on their knowledge, but it struck me as a bit cheeky to charge for advice that is common and can be placed in two paragraphs. What follows are the “free” paragraphs I think they should have posted \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Squared 5<\/a> offers a free tool to convert video which works on both the Mac and PC. Choose the Apple TV 1280 x 720<\/strong> preset. These setting will allow all converted video to play on the iPad. However, the iPad<\/strong> (http:\/\/www.apple.com\/ipad\/specs\/<\/a>) has a screen that is 1024 x 768. This means that the widest a video can be shown is 1024. As such, here are the correct setting for the standard video frames:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n
2.35:1<\/strong><\/p>\n= 1024 x 436<\/p>\n
1.85:1<\/strong><\/p>\n= 1024 x 554<\/p>\n
1.78:1 (16:9)<\/strong><\/p>\n= 1024 x 576<\/p>\n
1.33:1 (4:3)<\/strong><\/p>\n= 1024 x 768<\/p>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

That is just the actual “frame” of the video. Another piece to control is the “Bits Per Second” (ie: not just how wide the thing is but how many bits are compressed in each second of video). The Apple TV<\/strong> (http:\/\/www.apple.com\/appletv\/specs.html<\/a>) can process up to 5Mbps. Both the iPad and the iPhone<\/strong> (http:\/\/www.apple.com\/iphone\/specs.html<\/a>) can handle up to 2.5Mbps. As such you should set the data rate to 2.5Mbps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
