Method 1: Convert F4V to iPad MP4; Method 2: Install F4V Player on iPad
Hey friend. I wonder if I can play F4V files on my iPad. I have three F4V files and when I tried to open them on my iPad I failed. I searched forum and learned that F4V format is not one of iPad supported file formats. Is it true? If so, how I can get them played on my iPad? Do I need to install a third software to my iPad to get this problem solved? Thanks for your answer.
