Getting iPad to loop or repeat a video

So, my company just purchased an iPad and we are wanting to use it to loop a nice video at trade shows. As of now, we need to keep hitting the play button after the video plays once through. Wondering if there is a work around anyone knows of where we get the video to loop or repeat consecutively.

this should do, "Loop Video Player".

You have to put the video in the app with your PC.

After you purchase the app, connect the iPad to your PC,

open iTunes, go to app section of your iPad in iTunes, scroll down and you'll see this app,

and then drag and drop the video into the app.


I used it for 7 hours straight at this event and worked fine, didn't stop once.

Use this code in a webpage :

<embed src=" http://url.to.movie.mov " width="320" height="240" qtnext1="goto0" controller="false" kioskmode="true"></embed>

I tried the code as suggested but found that to get the video to play and loop on an iPad I had to use the html5 code eg.

<video src="http://linktovideo.mov" width="576" height="576" controls="controls" autoplay="autoplay" loop = "loop" qtnext1="goto0" controller="false" kioskmode="true"></video>

this will loop on iPad and any other browser/device.

Hi,
I'm just having a 17 sec. clip on my ipad repeating perfectly. that's how it goes:
- Produce an MP4 from your Video, Keynote...
- Create a folder in you images folder via finder, put the mp4 in there
- itunes: click the ipad, go to images/foto
- choose the folder, hit "add video" (or similar) in itunes
- sync
- go to settings>photo>repeat (=on)
- open photos/images on you ipad, go to diashow. hit "start diashow"
