The new Apple product became an instant hit even before it was released on the market. The tablet was able to make a pre-launch buzz in the tech device market through many blogs and websites outlining what tablet users could expect from it when it finally launches. Actually, most of the predictions about the tablet were successful.

Among other features, entertainment is one of the key areas emphasized by the device for its users. Among entertainment, movies have been given higher priority due to the high-definition and high-contrast screen. Although the Apple iPhone and iPod could also play movies, the size of the screen was never enough for a rich movie experience. With the new device the problem is solved. Therefore, there is an increasing number of device users converting their existing collection of movies to the correct format.

If you are also interested in watching videos on tablet, then you need to convert videos to iPad format. Since the tablet has its own specifications when it comes to screen size, normal video created for larger TVs and monitors needs to be converted properly. The output format is a gadget-specific HD format.

There are two main software programs that have caught the attention of users at the moment. For Mac OS X users, iFunia Video Converter for Mac has become the most admired tool to convert videos to iPad format. The best thing is that iFunia comes with a free price tag and can convert many video formats to the device format. AVI and MKV support is just an example. Apart from general support, this tool also supports special video formats like AVCHD M2TS MTS for device format.

iFunia is equipped with many presets to convert videos to iPad format, which is one of the best features for any video conversion software. With the presets, the user does not have to keep changing the video conversion settings every time. iFunia has presets that range from 720p to 640×480 resolutions with various quality and compression settings.

When it comes to converting videos to iPad format, Windows users are also as lucky as Mac users thanks to iPad Video Converter software. iPad Video Converter supports many more input file formats than its Mac counterpart. For this reason, this software has become the most popular among tablet users.

In addition to video conversion, it is capable of extracting audio from videos and converting them to friendly MP3, AAC and WAV formats. In case you want to have multiple video files combined for easy end-to-end handling and entertainment, iPad Video Converter can do that too. If you want it to be the other way around; i.e. splitting a large file into small parts, this tool will also help you to do that.

In addition to the above best brokers for Mac and Windows platforms, there are also some tools available for Linux. Since there are hundreds of conversions available for free, it will not make sense to spend large amounts of money to buy a tool to convert videos to iPad format.
