Why Sometimes iPad Can’t Play MP4?

Even though the iPad officially claims to support MP4 files, we still encounter issues with MP4 playback on iPad. Similar issues also occur with MP4 on Samsung TV and MP4 on LG TV. Why are these errors happening? In fact, MP4 is a container format for storing video and audio, which can be encoded using various codecs. However, iPad only supports specific MP4 codecs: H.264, MPEG-4, or Motion JPEG video. This means that if your MP4 is encoded with another codec like HEVC or AV1, the iPad will not be able to play that MP4. Also, if the MP4 contains an unsupported audio codec, the iPad cannot play the MP4, and you may encounter issues such as MP4 has no audio. On the other hand, high bit rate and high frame rate may also cause iPad to fail to play MP4.

How to solve the MP4 playback issue on iPad then? The best solution is to convert MP4 to iPad, change the bitrate or adjust the frame rate to play MP4 on iPad without error. But there are various kinds of MP4 converters on the market. Which one is better or easier to use?
