Hey mates, the super light iPad Air is coming next week, have you planed to reorder one? The Retina Display with 2048 x1536 pixels, 9.7 inches, no doubt adds more fun to your digital entertainment.

No doubt, watching videos on iPad Air with Retina display would be so great.

You may happen to have videos in MKV, AVI, VOB, WMV, MPG, M4V, Flash video(FLV/F4V), camera videos(MTS/MOV/MXF) or you like recording TV shows by Tivo, and want to transfer them to iPad Air to kill time on board. However, the problem is that not all these formats are supported by iPad Air; even iTunes will not allow you to sync MKV, AVI, VOB, MPG, Tivo and FLV files.

iPad Air supported video format:

H.264 video up to 1080p, 60 frames per second, High Profile level 4.2 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; 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

Obviously, the most compatible video format for iPad Air is MP4/MOV files encoded with MPEG-4 or H.264. The most effective way is to convert MKV, AVI, VOB, WMV, MPG, Tivo, M4V, FLV to MP4 with best video settings for iPad Air.
