Sep 13, 2015 09:54 pm / Posted by Charles Brown
People, especially the youth, prefer to enjoy movies on portable devices, rather than the clunky TVs or laptops. For meeting this need, many mobile devices are released. Among all mobile devices, iPad Mini series are one of the most popular portable devices for the convenient carriage and high resolution. However, iPad Mini (4,3,2,1) is slightly picky about the video formats, which means that not all your videos can be played on iPad Mini series. So, before syncing videos to iPad Mini (4,3,2,1) for playback, it's necessary to figure out what video formats can be supported by iPad Mini (4,3,2,1).
Here, I searched Apple official site and make a chart of the supported video/audio formats by iPad Mini 4,3,2,1. You can check your video format according to the list when you are about to syncing movies to iPad Mini series.
