The optimum video size is going to be the resolution of the iPad which is 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch with a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. Now some movies that are widescreen you will have to do the letterbox thing. So set the width and let the height take care of itself in proportion – scaling. Personally I prefer using Visual Hub to do my iPad video conversions but it is no longer available. You could try Video Monkey, or there is MPEG StreamClip or ffMpeg. The best format to use obviously is going to be h.264 on the iPad. iPad Handbrake Video Conversion is getting easier with some upgrading of the app, so I end up using it more often.

It will be interesting to see how the video conversion have and effect with ipad vga to hd 1080p hdmi upscaling adapter

The easiest Way to Get the iPad Handbrake Settings Right

Use a preset for the iPad Handbrake settings. If you look ing the icon bar at the top of the application you will see a button for Toggle Presets. Click on that and the side tray of settings will pop out to the side.  In there you will see an disclosure triangle where it says Apple. Click on that to see the list of presets for the Apple devices. Choose the Handbrake iPad settings in that list and don’t mess with anything else. Set the application running and soon you will have a video file that you can move to the iPad. Copy files to iPad and enjoy your movie. Handbrake is probably better than video monkey iPad
