As one of the most popular  video formats nowadays, the MKV video format is accepted by most popular video  player applications and devices. However, despite the popularity of this video  format, there are still many devices don\u2019t come with a native MKV support, and  iPad is one of them. If you have an iPad in your hands and you want to play an  MKV video on it, you may find that the video cannot be played directly without  being converted to another format that is supported by iPad. So in today\u2019s  article, let\u2019s see how you can convert your MKV videos so that they can easily  be played on your iPad. Also, after converting the MKV video, we will also show  you how to transfer your converted video to your iPad in the most efficient  way.

In  fact, iPad does not have many native media formats support initially. If you  don\u2019t install extra media player applications on your iPad, there are only a  few formats that can be recognized and played by iPad including MOV, MP4, and  M4V in H.264 or MPEG-4 codec. Here are the detailed specs on what formats are  supported by iPad.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"184\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"184\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>Supported Video Formats<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"184\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>Supported Audio Formats<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"184\" valign=\"top\">\n<p align=\"center\">iPad<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"184\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>MOV, MP4, M4V, H.264, MPEG-4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"184\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 HE-AAC    (V1), AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (MP4 from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to    320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, WAV<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>As you can see, MKV is clearly not in the  list.
