Does anyone know if there are any optimal encoding settings for flv playback on an ipad? I'm using the flvplayback component (flash cs5.5 and air 2.7) but can't get playback on an ipad to be as smooth as on a pc.

I've found the longer the video the worse it plays back.

Encoding the alpha channel also significantly impacts performance.

Overall though, it'll be hard to match the performance on a pc.

If possible, use a .mp4 and StageWebView instead.

Thanks for your response. I’ve used StageWebView and the result is as good as on a pc but (unless I’m missing something) I don’t have any control over it i.e. want it to loop and be able to pause/play/seek.

i tried on2 vp6 encoding and work fine both in iphone and ipad , you can use adobe media encoder cs5.5 to encode your vedio.

How well does it work if you set CPU instead of GPU?
