Note:

1. A high-resolution video with a low bit-rate will produce a more blurry image as well as visible signs of “artifacting” (distortion, blocking effects and jagged edges) on high-motion action sequences. If storage space is of primary concern, encoding at lower bit-rates will naturally save some space, but this will come at the cost of video quality. Any bit-rate less than 1 mbps for 640×480 content will generally be too low to produce reasonably viewable TV output.

2. Another very important consideration when trying to decide on the optimal iPad Air 2 video format in which to encode your content is the aspect ratio of the original source content.

Aspect ratio simply refers to the ratio of the width of the image to the height of the image as shown on screen. There are three common aspect ratios in use for commercial video content today:

  • 4:3 used for almost all standard-definition TV broadcast content.
  • 16:9 used for almost all high-definition TV content (HDTV) and many theatrical DVD releases.
