Can iPad Air play MKV, AVI, VOB, WMV, MPG, Tivo, M4V, FLV, F4V, MTS videos etc.?

Summary: Here is a workflow about the SD/HD Videos to iPad Air conversion, you can easily & quickly convert MKV, AVI, VOB, M4V, WMV, MPG, Tivo, FLV video to iPad Air support video formats for smoothly playback.

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.

Many movie fans would back up their DVD collections to computer hard drive in VIDEO_TS folder format so that they can rip DVD movies for watching on smartphoes and tablets or burn DVD to a blank DVD disc later without damaging their DVD special editions. While the copied DVD VIDEO_TS folder is not compatible with WD TV player, and you may need to convert DVD VIDEO_TS folder to WD TV/WD TV Live playable file in advance.

Tip 1: On the program UI, set one audio track and subtitles from “Subtitles” and “Audio” drop-down list. If you like, you can also check “Forced subtitles” button to play DVD VIDEO_TS folder with only forced subtitles on your WD TV.



Step 2. Select WD TV optimized format by clicking the “Format” menu. Since WD TV player supports MKV, H.264 MP4 and more, you are suggested to choose “Common Video > H.264 Video(*.mp4)”.

Step 4. Return back to DVD Ripper main interface, and hit the “Convert” button to start ripping VIDEO_TS to WD TV. Once it finishes, open output folder, locate the created MP4 file and you can transfer DVD VIDEO_TS folder to watch on WD TV player.

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7 and 8.9-inch tablets launch in UK

The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX was initially launched in the US a few weeks ago but now it looks like Amazon is taking the fight to the iPad Mini here in the UK.

Amazon has unveiled the Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch and 8.9-inch tablets along with an updated Kindle Fire HD for the UK. Amazon's new range of tablets will be looking to steal the thunder from Apple's potential iPad Mini 2 launch next week.

The new Kindle Fire HDX tablets are not only lighter and thinner than the previous generation they also come with Amazon's new HDX display which the company is boasting as their best yet.

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch specs

The first in the lineup is the Kindle Fire HDX which will come with a 7-inch HDX display boasting an impressive 1920x1200 resolution at 323ppi along with 100 per cent sRGB colour accuracy which should mean brighter more vivid colours when looking at images or watching video.

The HDX 7-inch also comes with dynamic image contrast which means that not only will the tablet adjust the brightness of the display dependent on its surroundings it'll also adjust the contrast of the display which should mean better viewing in direct sunlight.

Inside you'll find a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor making it not only three times faster than the previous Kindle Fire HD but faster even than some flagship smartphones like the HTC One max.



There's also 2GB of RAM which should mean that it's more than capable of switching between movies, books and apps without any hesitation.

Finally you'll find dual speakers powered by Dolby Digital Plus along with a 720p front-facing camera for video calls. You'll also be able to get the Kindle Fire HDX with 3G and 4G through Vodafone.

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9-inch specs

The HDX 8.9 is, according to Amazon, the lightest large screen tablet available weighing in at 374g making it 34 per cent lighter than the previous Kindle Fire HD 8.9.

You also get a HDX display boasting a mighty 2560x1600 at 339ppi making it an even higher resolution display than the HDX 7.

The HDX 8.9 does however come with the same hardware specs as the HDX 7 boasting the same 2.2Ghz Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor and 2GB RAM.

There's no word on storage however if you look at the US options available the UK pricing would suggest that Amazon will be offering the 8.9-inch with 16GB storage.



Amazon Kindle Fire HDX with Fire OS 3.0 'Mojito'

Both tablets will come running Amazon's latest Fire OS 3.0 'Mojito' which will bring with it a whole host of new features including a totally new email client, Silk browser and calendar.

You'll also get VPN integration, enterprise compatibility and the ability to wirelessly print as well as Amazon FreeTime, a feature which Amazon introduced allowing parents to control what content their children have access too.

Amazon Mayday button

Of course what everyone will be talking about is the Mayday button, a service which at the press of a button, will provide live tech support in the form of a one-way video chat with an advisor.

Whilst you'll be able to see them, they won't be able to see you help avoiding any privacy issues, they'll also be able to remotely control your device showing you tips by drawing arrows or writing on the display, or helping you solve any tech problems.



Amazon Kindle Fire HDX price and release date

The Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch will start at £199 for 16GB WiFi-only and £269 with 4G making it clear that Amazon is not only gunning for the Google Nexus 7 2013 but also for the upcoming iPad Mini 2, it'll also be launching in 32 and 64GB versions.

UK pricing for the 16GB HDX 8.9-inch starts at £329 for WiFi-only whilst the 4G version will set you back £399 with shipping starting on 13th December for both tablets. You'll also be able to get the HDX 8.9 in 32 and 64GB versions as well.
