From Apple’s website we know that the iPad only supports AVI files encoded with the specified codec. Unfortunately, it’s a less commonly used codec type for AVI files. This is a huge hurdle because AVI is pretty much the standard-definition format of choice for video content and video-editing software on the Internet. In this article, you’ll learn: what types of AVI files are compatible with iPad; how to play AVI on iPad after conversion; how to play compatible AVI on iPad; and answers to frequently asked questions about playing AVI on iPad. Here we go: AVI files compatible with iPad: Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280×720 pixels, 30 fps (frames per second), audio in ulaw format, PCM stereo audio with .avi file extension.
So how do you know if your AVI file is supported? It’s easy. Since AVI files can contain almost any codec except M-JPEG, one easy way to do this is to try playing the AVI with QuickTime Player. If it plays in QuickTime, you can probably play an AVI file on your iPod. Otherwise, you need to find a workaround. Now you are at the right place to learn how to play AVI on iPad.
