Resolved Question

Does xy player compress video on idpad more than vlc player?

Aug 23, 2011 6:04AM PDT

I am trying to fill my ipad with videos ready for my holidays but I only have about 10 on via vlc and its full. It's only a 16gb and I have photos but it still doesn't seem a lot.
Can anyone tell me if xy player - or any other program will compress the videos further so that I can fit more in?

It's an iPad 1 wifi only.

Many thanks for any ideas.
Jill

For compressing video I use Handbrake. You can tinker with the settings to see if you can compress more.
