Just own a new Acer Iconia Tab A500 and wish to enjoy movies and music on it to kill your time? Want to know what video files does Acer Iconia Tab play? Is it possible to dump your recordings from camcorders to the A500 tablet for watching? How to play your 1080p/1080i HD video on the Iconia A500 without taking up a huge amount of space?

 

According to the Acer Iconia Tab A500's specs, you would easily notice that the Android tablet can play H.264 BP, H.264 MP, H.264 HP, MPEG-4 and H.263 videos. For those videos unsupported by the Acer Iconia Tab A500, you have to convert them to A500 H.264 BP/MP/HP, or A500 MPEG-4 or A500 H.263 first. A comprehensive Acer Iconia Tab A500 Video Converter or Mac Iconia Tab A500 Video Converter will do the conversion job for you.

But what's the H.264 BP, H.264 MP or H.264 HP? What are the differences between them? If interested, the following article will help you know the three H.264 profiles with ease.



(Notice: Constrained Baseline Profile (CBP)
Primarily for low-cost applications, this profile is most typically used in videoconferencing and mobile applications. It corresponds to the subset of features that are in common between the Baseline, Main, and High Profiles described below. )

 

Baseline Profile (BP)
Primarily for low-cost applications that require additional data loss robustness, this profile is used in some videoconferencing and mobile applications. This profile includes all features that are supported in the Constrained Baseline Profile, plus three additional features that can be used for loss robustness (or for other purposes such as low-delay multi-point video stream compositing). The importance of this profile has faded somewhat since the definition of the Constrained Baseline Profile in 2009. All Constrained Baseline Profile bitstreams are also considered to be Baseline Profile bitstreams, as these two profiles share the same profile identifier code value.

 

Main Profile (MP)
This profile is used for standard-definition digital TV broadcasts that use the MPEG-4 format as defined in the DVB standard. It is not, however, used for high-definition television broadcasts, as the importance of this profile faded when the High Profile was developed in 2004 for that application.

 

High Profile (HP)
The primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications, particularly for high-definition television applications (for example, this is the profile adopted by the Blu-ray Disc storage format and the DVB HDTV broadcast service).

 

In fact, almost all Android phones or tablets have a limitation that they can't play a single video file above 4 GB. So H.264 BP (Baseline Profile) is recommended if you want to play 1080p/1080i HD movies on the A500, since videos in MP or HP will eat up a lots of space. If you hope to copy and watch Blu-ray or DVD movies on the Iconia Tab A500, just need to rip Blu-ray/DVD to H.264 MP4 in BP by using Pavtube Blu-ray/DVD to Iconia Tab A500 Converter. The baseline profile in .mp4 format will keep a good balance between video quality and file size for A500.

 

Or, you could convert HD, Blu-ray or DVD to MPEG-4/H.263 for playing on A500 if you need.

 

That's all! Hope the article about Acer Iconia Tab A500 supported video files  will color your movie fun on your A500 tablet.
