Handbrake problem - can't convert FLV files?

I've tried converting several flv files lately with handbrake, and the M4V files seem to be accepted by iTunes, but when I try synching I get "file won't play on ipad/iphone"

Does anyone have an idea what is going on?

Thanks,

Hal

 

Bump in hope of an answer. Thanks!

 

Well . Here is the problem FLV is Flash. Apple don't like flash.
The Name FLV comes from FLash Video
iPad only Supports MP4, H.264 Video.
You need to get a converter like "Daniusoft iPad Video Converter" that can do that.
There is also for the MAC "Daniusoft Video Converter for Mac"

 

Soooo, back to my original question, does HANDBRAKE have a problem converting Flash (flv) files?

I am aware Apple doesn't do flash, and I was under the impression that Handbrake was a conversion program...

 

Are you using the newest release of HB?
They just dropped a new one a few days ago.

No, I didn't know this. I'll upgrade when I get home, try it out, and report back.

Thanks!

 

not sure if it will fix your issue or not, but it is a good place to start.

I will search the HB forums and see what i come up with.

So far everything I read says it should work with no issues.
Update to the new version, and use one of the Apple presets for the conversion.

I dont have any flv on my mac or i would test run for ya

I couldn't get HB to work. I use any video converter

I cant post a link just search any video converter
I have nothing to do with this site
