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"
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"
Hi Hal, The file is probably not compatible as you haven't made an iPad version. In iTunes, right click the file you want on your iPad, and then click 'make iPad version' (or something along those lines!) Hope this solves it!
