iPad Movie Size - Essential Information For iPad Users


Watching movies on the run is one of the great things about the apple iPad. If you have an iPad and are limited for memory then the question that you might ask yourself is: How many movies can I fit on my iPad? What is a typical iPad movie size in terms of pixels and also memory usage?

It is probably of no surprise to learn that iPad movie size varies from movie to movie depending primarily on movie length and also the movie's resolution. 640 x 480 pixels is typically used for most movies and provides an excellent movie viewing experience without using up too much of your precious memory. A 640 x 480 movie will usually take up around 900 Mb per hour of movie. Since most feature length films are around the 90 minute mark, you can expect an iPad movie size of around 1.4 Gb per movie. For a 16 Gb iPad, depending on how much memory is being used for other features like Apps, music or documents, you will be able to squeeze in around nine or ten films. For a 32 Gb iPad you can expect to fit in up to twenty and a 64 Gb iPad will fit around forty movies.

Some films can have a very large iPad movie size. If you want to watch blu ray movies or any high definition film, can expect to see an iPad movie size of more than 6 Gb which can severely limit the number of movies that you can fit on your iPad. For 16 Gb iPad, you will fit two movies, four for the 32 Gb iPad and eight on a the 64 Gb machine.

Having the ability to fit a lot of movies on your iPad at any one time is not really a necessity depending on how often you connect your iPad to your home computer. iPad movie size becomes important only if you connect to your computer on rare occasions. If for example you are going away on a long trip then iPad movie size is very important since you will want to fit as many in as possible before you go. If however, you connect your iPad to your computer often then you can simply keep a library of movies on your computer and just transfer copies to your iPad on an as needed basis. iPad movie size is therefore not a big issue in this instance nor is the memory capacity of your iPad.
