有(Got)一些视频想要复制到iPad 或 iPhone(iPad or iPhone)以供离线观看(offline viewing)?iCloud 很棒并且运行良好,但显然您只能下载(download content)iTunes 商店中可用的内容。
如果您想将一些家庭视频(home videos)或下载的电影放到您的iPad 或 iPhone(iPad or iPhone)上,您需要先将它们转换为适当的格式。完成此操作后,您可以查看我关于如何将文件复制或传输到 iPad 的帖子。
那么将任何视频转换为正确格式的最简单方法是什么?在我看来,HandBrake是完成工作的最佳应用程序。它是开源的,适用于Mac、Windows甚至Linux。
HandBrake拥有一组内置预设,可将视频转换为适用于Apple TV、iPad、iPhone、iPod 等的特定格式,从而使工作变得超级简单。
使用 HandBrake 转换视频
下载并安装HandBrake后,您将看到主界面,您可以在其中选择视频 ( Source ) 和输出格式 ( Presets )。
继续并单击Source按钮,然后从File或Folder中进行选择。在Windows 和 Mac(Windows and Mac)上,如果您愿意,您可以轻松地一次批量转换一大堆视频。
一旦您选择了一个视频文件(video file),HandBrake就会对其进行扫描并显示有关该视频文件(video file)的信息。
在开始转换之前,请确保从右侧的预设中选择iPad或iPhone 。
当您选择预设时,已经为您选择了视频(video and type)分辨率和编解码器类型的值。您现在唯一需要做的就是通过单击“开始(Start)”按钮开始转换。您也可以单击“添加到队列”(Add to Queu),然后根据需要添加更多视频。
如果这是您第一次使用该程序,您还需要为转换后的文件选择一个目的地。默认情况下,视频将使用H.264 编解码器转换为(H.264 codec)MP4 格式(MP4 format)。您将能够在HandBrake 窗口(HandBrake window)底部看到进度。
完成后,您的文件就准备好了。您现在可以使用 iTunes 将此文件传输到您的 iPad。如果您想为您的 iPhone 转换视频,请按照相同的步骤,只需从预设中选择 iPhone。如果您更精通技术,您还可以单击选项卡并根据自己的喜好手动调整设置。
使用 iTunes 将文件复制到设备
要将转换后的视频放到您的iPad 或 iPhone(iPad or iPhone)上,请打开 iTunes 并使用USB 数据线(USB cable)连接您的设备。在 iTunes 中,单击顶部的设备图标。
现在在左侧边栏中,您将看到一个名为On My Device( On My Devic) e 的部分。继续并单击该标题下的电影。(Movies)
打开资源管理器(Explorer)并找到您的视频。拥有它后,只需将其拖放(drag and drop)到屏幕右侧的Movies(hand side)下(Movies)即可。
继续并单击右下角的同步(Sync)按钮,最终它应该开始将视频文件(video file)复制到您的 iPad。请注意,如果您已经将iPad 或 iPhone(iPad or iPhone)同步到另一个 iTunes 资料库,它会给您一条消息,要求您擦除并同步(Erase and Sync)您当前的设备。只需单击取消(Cancel)并让它继续同步。即使我的 iPad 已同步到另一台计算机,我也能够复制文件。
最后,在您的 iPad 上,继续打开视频(Videos)应用程序。您应该会看到一个名为Home Videos的新选项卡。在这里,您将找到您自己手动同步的所有电影。只要视频同步到您的设备,它就应该可以完美播放。如果您有任何问题,请随时发表评论。享受!
Convert Video to iPhone or iPad Format
Got some videos you would like to copy over to your iPаd оr iPhone for offline viewing? iCloud is great and works really well, but you can obviously only download content that іs available іn the iTunes store.
If you have some home videos or downloaded movies that you’d like to get onto your iPad or iPhone, you’ll need to first convert them into the appropriate format. Once you do that, you can check out my post on how to copy or transfer files over to your iPad.
So what’s the easiest way to get any video converted to the correct format? In my opinion, HandBrake is the best application for getting the job done. It’s open source and works on Mac, Windows and even Linux.
HandBrake makes the job super easy by having a set of built-in presets for converting video to specific formats for Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, iPod, etc.
Using HandBrake to Convert Video
Once you download and install HandBrake, you’ll see the main interface where you can choose the video (Source) and the output format (Presets).
Go ahead and click on the Source button and then choose from either File or Folder. On Windows and Mac, you can easily batch convert a whole bunch of videos at once if you like.
Once you choose a video file, HandBrake will scan it and display information about the video file.
Before you start the conversion, make sure you select iPad or iPhone from the presets on the right.
The values for the resolution of the video and type of codec will already be selected for you when you choose a preset. The only thing you have to do now is start the conversion by clicking on the Start button. You can also click on Add to Queue and then add more videos if you like.
If this is the first time you are using the program, you also need to choose a destination for the converted file. By default, videos will be converted to MP4 format using the H.264 codec. You’ll be able to see the progress at the bottom of the HandBrake window.
Once completed, your file is ready. You can now transfer this file over to your iPad using iTunes. If you want to convert videos for your iPhone, follow the same steps, just choose iPhone from the presets. If you are more technically-savvy, you can also click on the tabs and manually adjust settings to your liking.
Copy File to Device using iTunes
To get the converted video onto your iPad or iPhone, open iTunes and connect your device using the USB cable. In iTunes, click on the icon for your device at the top.
Now in the left-hand sidebar, you will see a section called On My Device. Go ahead and click on Movies under that heading.
Open Explorer and find your video. When you have it, just drag and drop it onto the right hand side of the screen under Movies.
Go ahead and click on the Sync button at the bottom right and eventually it should start copying over the video file to your iPad. Note that if you have already synced your iPad or iPhone to another iTunes library, it’ll give you a message asking to Erase and Sync your current device. Just click Cancel and let it continue syncing. I was able to copy the file over even though my iPad was synced to another computer.
Finally, on your iPad, go ahead and open the Videos app. You should see a new tab called Home Videos. Here you will find all the movies that you have synced manually yourself. The video should play perfectly as long as it got synced to your device. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy!
