[x264-devel] Generating H264 for iPad?

To reduce the number of variables in this problem, I would recommend all of the following:
a) use MP4 (which also supports multiple audio tracks with language tagging)
b) use the iPad's built-in player
c) use x264 or ffmpeg or HandBrake and do a baseline profile encode

If that works, you can try moving up to main profile instead of baseline.
If that works, you can try using an alternative player.
