Can it stream mkv files directly to ipad without copying it first to the ipad? How much the capacity of the power bank?

I returned my device .. it actually did not work at all. However, I think you can transfer pretty much any file, as a download, the question is, can a MKV file even be played by a player on an iPad? I think there is a version of VLC for the iPad, and the PC version of VLC plays MKV files. I wish I knew more, but the device did not work for me ...

I am not familiar with mkv files. It does stream m4v and mp4. A full specification sheet is here: http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/mlw221_us.pdfAs far as battery life, I have not "run out" but it can easily cover a two hour featured film!

Yes. Get the iOS app called Infuse 2 (in-app-purchase required to unlock the feature). It streams to your iOS device beautifully.

No it will not. You have to copy to ipad. Battery last good amount of time. You can charge iphone about, one time. Very pleased with this device! Very useful glad I have one.

Yes, I have connected/streamed an iPad, BluRay player, laptop, Wii, and a video camera. I had to buy some HDMI adapters for my various devices, and different length HDMI cables to get the best use out of it. I tend to use it on a tripod a lot, so that I can dial in the positioning. It's very light, so use caution when using heavy HDMI cables.

You can use the Apple CCK (camera connection kit) to connect this via USB to the iPad

I just tried it out with the new iPad. It will power up and sync, but the Camera Connection Kit (both USB and SD) will NOT work - I get the message: "This Accessory is not supported by iPad."

You might be able to use vlc player. Vlc player is on itunes market. It worked wireless for streaming from another wifi based flash drive. The one from sandisk. VLC supports all kinds of formats, though the stream speed will affect whether or not its watchable.

An iPad has no USB video port support. If you plug this into a WiFi broadcaster and download an ap on your iPad like CamSee you should be able to stream the video to your iPad via WiFi. A WiFi camera would cost less than this and a broadcaster together though.

It has an older version of XMBC on it, so you can launch that - you'll have to navigate the file sources from inside the menu to find the mkv file, but generally yes. There may be issues with accelerated decoding, HD video from a usb thumb drive may be choppy.I would heartily recommend you install the latest version of XBMC, it was recently renamed to Kodi http://kodi.tv/download/

You need to check if the 3rd party app you mention support the RavPower protocol (SMB protocol). There are several apps that you can get, each of them support different type of files. The most completed that I found is called nPlayer (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nplayer/id539397400?mt=8). This one is not free, but it's the best in my opnion. I've tried the free apps, even the one suggested to be used with RAVPower, but they failed to open few formats. nPlayer on the other hand, was open to open all the media files that I have so far

Absolutely not. This accessory is only to swap the default USB plug of a Seagate GoFlex portable hard drive for a Firewire connector. To view videos and movies on your iPad, you have to use iTunes to upload them on your iPad or use an application like Dropbox to sync them.

This is NOT a general storage device. The Apple iOS will only acknowledge and upload &lt;one way&gt; certain file types (.jpg, etc for images and .mov, etc for video). That is all. It is not theddevice's limitation it is Apple's constraints.

Hi Rita. Yes just connect the charger that came with your Ipad to the Power Bank. It is very powerful. Clyde S

You can stream from your iphone or ipad to the unit by plugging directly into it. You will not be able to do it wirelessly.

ITunes stores these as M4V files (movies) - how do you use the wifi to play them on your ipad? Can this alone let you stream movies or do you need another software to stream or do you have to convert out of the MPEG-4 Video File (.m4v) format to another to stream movies?I think some people are buying these to expand the otherwise fixed memory of an ipad so if you can't stream this is not going to work for us.

sorry I dont know, I have not tried. I have charged my wifes iphone 5s with it no problem but it might not have enough power for an ipad.BTW this power pack does not come with an adapter for the new apple devices.
