MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video files are not natively supported by iPad's hardware video decoder, which is optimized for H.264 (all iPads), H.265 (iPad Pro 2017+), and VP9 (iPadOS 14+). iPad Video conversion targets the H.264 High profile with AAC-LC audio in an MP4 container — the configuration that delivers the best quality-to-battery-life ratio on Apple's tablet line.
iPads have large, high-resolution displays (2048x1536 on standard iPads, 2732x2048 on iPad Pro) that expose the low resolution of MPEG-1 VCD content (352x240) and the compression artifacts of aging MPEG-2 encodes. Converting to iPad Video with modern H.264 encoding, proper scaling, and optimized bitrates ensures the video looks as good as the source material allows on iPad's retina display.
More importantly, iPad's hardware video decoder only accelerates specific codec profiles. Playing MPEG-2 via software decoding causes excessive heat, battery drain, and potential frame drops during complex scenes. H.264 hardware decoding eliminates all of these issues.
FFmpeg encodes to H.264 High profile (level 4.1 for 1080p30, level 5.1 for 4K) with AAC-LC stereo audio in an MP4 container. Parameters: `-c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level 4.1 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac -b:a 160k -movflags +faststart`. The High profile enables CABAC entropy coding and 8x8 transform, improving compression efficiency by 10-15% over Baseline at the same quality.
H.264 High profile at equivalent bitrates handily outperforms MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. A MPEG-2 DVD at 6 Mbps re-encodes to H.264 at 3-4 Mbps with comparable or better visual quality. The main limitation is the source resolution — MPEG-1 VCD at 352x240 will look soft on iPad's retina display regardless of encoding quality.
