Disappointed with VLC for iPad v1.0
In short, tried three files that play normally in VLC on PC and none of them play well on the iPad which was very disappointing as I had high hopes for it. They were:
- MKV with SSA soft subs. Video at 704x400 using AVC1 and Audio using VORB 48000Hz at 128kb/s. Crashed the application trying generate a preview.
- AVI. Video at 848x480 using H264 and Audio using MPGA 48000Hz at 128kb/s. Video was extremely choppy and unwatchable.
- MP4. Video at 1280x720 using AVC1 and Audio using MP4A 48000Hz. Application gave a warning about being too slow to play, video was extremely choppy and unwatchable.
Admittedly, this was the first release and will undoubtedly be constantly updated by the VLC team but for now, I have to give it a miss.
