What's the Best Video Converter for iPad mini?

However, not all video converters can convert inacceptable videos to iPad mini video formats, granted that profiles MP4 and MOV are involved. iPad mini users may come across a problem that Kenneth experienced before.

I converted some AVI files using Bigasoft MKV Converter, which converts nearly all types of movie files, into MP4's and MOV's. iTunes 11.0.1.12 loads both these formats into its library but when I attempt to synch it with my iPad mini, iTunes says that the synch cannot occur because iPad doesnt recognise the format of the file.

How could this happen? Actually, this error occurs because there're various frame rates for MOV and MP4 videos, not all of which are supported by iPad mini. Instead of setting video audio parameters manually, like frame rate, bit rate, you're suggest to try Winxvideo AI (or Mac edition) to convert videos to iPad mini. This is because it has the optimal presets for iPad mini and iPad mini with Retina display. Users don't need to set complicated video audio parameters by themselves. They are only required to perform several mouse clicks to achieve video conversion for iPad mini. Read on to know how to convert videos to be compatible with iPad mini.
