iPad video convertor

Admin · Dec 17, 2011

Can anyone suggest a (free) video converter to put DVDs and Divx movies onto an iPad?

If anyone can suggest some iPad apps too.

Thanks

Why are you using an app when your on a huge ipad?

As for watching videos, apple now lets you watch your own and has several apps in the app store.

Try 'Good Player'

Added, just saw there is one called flex player which is free??

Thanks. The app gives a nice interface and pushes notifications of updates.

I have an iPad2 but can't seem to work out how to move the cursor through any post I write in the composition phase. I tried ForumRunner and TapaTalk this morning and both programs reported that Acorn wasn't responding to them...

Do you mean when you keep your finger pressed and push up slightly it doesn't scroll through?

Caz, it's okay if the text fits in the edit window, but if it's larger, I can't scroll up and down inside the window. The whole page scrolls

Yes I thought you meant that. Nightmare then lol

You will have to type it in notepad and paste it once you've edited it then.

No more quoting people Dale it's too much effort

I am using both on different devices, ForumRunner on the iPad which is easy to use and responds really fast. After you install the app, and search within it for acorn, what error do you get? Maybe send me a pic?

Thanks

I can scroll but inside the window but you have to be very precise with your finger placement or as you say the whole page scrolls. Try changing the theme to "iPhone style" - see bottom left of footer for theme changer - it may help.

Cool. I have blocked quite a few country level ip ranges on the new server, to keep away spammers from countries that are unlikely to bring any valid members to the site. Whilst I have good anti-spam measures to stop them creating accounts, I still get lots of additional hits from them trying as Acorn is know as a do-follow enabled forum.
