In Conclusion

If you were already looking all over the internet, you probably stumbled upon people always suggesting ‘handbrake’ or ‘MacX DVD’ to convert your WMVs to MP4, of course, if you know the correct format and codec settings. After that, you can sync the output from those apps into your iTunes and then put them onto your lovely iPad—this really does solve the problem, but it just sounds too much of a hassle.

Apple made it so you can’t naturally play your WMVs (or any other file types like MKV or AVI) on any iPad or iPhone device. It’s simply one more of the highly-demanded formats that Apple does not support. We put an end to this and broke through the barrier between MKV, AVI, FLAC, and your iPad, iPhone, and iPod. Movies in 720p and 1080p are a crystal piece of pleasure you can get when watching them on an iPad’s retina screen.

WALTR makes it easy to convert WMV to MP4 for iPad or iPhone—there’s no other way to easily transfer content in various formats to Apple devices! So don’t hesitate to try it out right now! If you have any questions, let us know in the comments section!
