iPad 2 Movie Format Basic information
The video frame size, or aspect ratio, such as 640 x 480, measures the width (640) by the height (480), in lines of pixel resolution. All of the DVD to iPad 2 Converter apps change the size of the final video format, depending on the size of the iPad2's screen. However, all iPad2s will play back multiple video frame sizes.
The frame rate refers to the playback of individual video frames per second (fps). The North American frame rate standard is 30 fps (known as NTSC or National Television System Committee), while in Europe it's 25 fps (known as PAL or Phase Alternate Line). Motion pictures are recorded and played back at 24 fps all over the world.

There are variations to the format, including the popular H.264.
Best iPad 2 Movie Format H.264
H.264 is fast becoming an ideal video format for delivery, such as videos on the iTunes Store, Blu-ray discs, YouTube, satellite TV and others. It is also known as MPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Coding). Many video professionals also use H.264 for general video and web delivery, due to its high quality but lower bit rate, making the resulting video sizes small. M4V is the Apple video and audio standard for iTunes Store video and movie purchases and is based on H.264.
Though there are a limited number of video and audio formats supported by the iPad 2, the available options are still great for creating the best possible visual and sound experience. You can also convert them to iPad 2 movie format with 3rd-party iPad 2 Video Converter.
