[x264-devel] Generating H264 for iPad?

You're playing AVI on the iPad? Maybe that's the root cause for your problems. Since Apple’s AVFoundation does not support AVI on iOS, I assume you use a third-party player app? This player may not use the hardware accelerated decoding then. (Which may be hard to do, since the acceleration is probably not exposed with an API, but only accessible through AVFoundation.)

My advice is to use HandBrake (http://handbrake.fr/) to create M4V files with H.264+AAC in them. HandBrake also comes with convenient encoding profiles for the Apple devices.
