Video and audio guide
Create an iPad-compatible MP4 only when the selected playback app cannot decode the source video, audio, or subtitles.
The free version limits many processing operations to the first three minutes. Check compatibility and trial limits.
Problem and solution
Check the codecs inside the source container and the requirements of the target player, editor, or device before converting.
AVI, MKV, MPG, and VOB are containers or disc-video files that can carry codecs or subtitle types the selected iPad playback app cannot decode. Test each source before deciding that conversion is required.
Use H.264 MP4 for broad compatibility, keep the source resolution and frame rate when practical, and verify picture, audio, subtitles, seeking, and sync in the intended iPad app before converting a large library.
Solution direction
Create an iPad-compatible MP4 only when the selected playback app cannot decode the source video, audio, or subtitles.
Three-step workflow
Create an iPad-compatible MP4 only when the selected playback app cannot decode the source video, audio, or subtitles.
Add the source
Open LosslessConverter and select Add Files. Add the AVI, MKV, MPG, or VOB files and select the files required for this workflow.
Create a broadly compatible file
Open Output Format, select the Video group, and choose MP4. Start with Same as source, then change resolution only when the destination requires it.
Create the current output
Choose an output folder and select Start All. When processing finishes, transfer the MP4 files to the iPad and verify picture, audio, subtitles, and sync.
Try it with your own media
