#587822 - 01/05/13 07:27 AM .3g2 format on iPad
Gerry newbie Registered: 03/01/09 Posts: 37 Loc: New York	i'd like to load some videos on my iPad and found that an app called PDF Reader will play .3g2 format. So I'm experimenting with converting some .mov files with QTPro into .3g2 format but I can't keep any semblance of quality; it wants to compress a 52mb file to 120kb and I can't find a way to improve that. Can I compress to .3g2 and keep it looking good? Is there a better app for loading up and playing my own movies? _________________________ Visit my "Nightcallers" blog! View my resume

Gerry newbie Registered: 03/01/09 Posts: 37 Loc: New York	Thanks Jim, I can do that but how do I load it onto the ipad, and what player? I can't seem to find straightforward answers on this stuff. _________________________ Visit my "Nightcallers" blog! View my resume

It will end up in Videos on the iPad. BTW if you have iTunes set to Keep Media Folder Organized and Copy Files set under itunes Preferences/Advanced, once you copy it into iTunes you can delete it from the original location, it will copy it to the iTunes folder _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor
