[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1906782, member: 307555"] I have been following this thread and am a bit mystified. The mp4 format is very universal and should be playable on your iPad. The M1 chip should not be the issue. I have an M1 MBP and I create mp4 videos weekly with it. I also have a Windows PC that I use to create mp4 contend and my M1 has no issue playing it. My iPhone 13 pro has no issues creating or playing mp4 formatted videos. So something else is going on. You do not say how you are transferring the videos to the iPad. I might suggest uploading from the PC to a cloud storage like dropbox or google drive the access them on the iPad just to see if there is still an issue. Remuxing or re-encoding the videos may work but I just find it very strange the iPad has issues with mp4 formatting since that is what a lot of online videos are formatted in. Also Handbrake is good but you will loose quality. If you want to remux I suggest using [URL='https://obsproject.com/']OBS[/URL] - which is a free broadcasting app that does a very nice job of remuxing. Lisa [/QUOTE]
