2. Why We Need to Convert AVI
• Generally speaking, iPad/iPad 2/the new iPad
supports M4V, MP4, MOV and some kind of
AVI file format. So, to play unsupported AVI
file on iPad/iPad 2/the new iPad, we are
required to convert AVI to M4V, MP4, MOV to
make it compatible with iPad.

7. b. When choosing iPad output profile, there are three options including iPad
MPEG-4 Video(*.mp4) , iPad H.264 Video(*.mp4) , iPad H.264 720p Video
(*.mp4).
iPad MPEG-4 Video(*.mp4) , iPad H.264 Video(*.mp4) - They are both MPEG-4
actually. H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 AVC. The difference is that h.264 has
better picture quality at lower bitrates.
iPad H.264 720p Video (*.mp4) - the high definition 720p (1280x720) video
supported by iPad. We have found that this preset, "iPad H.264 720p Video
(*.mp4)", produces files that play well on iPad. If you prefer to watch HD videos
on iPad, then this one is for you. However, if your original source video is
already at a smaller resolution, there is absolutely no point in encoding it in any
higher resolution or bit-rate, as you’re not going to magically gain any resolution
that wasn't there in the first place.
