N.E.D.i for iPad?

For the time being the iPhone version at 2X is fine, but iPad support would really be welcomed please.

Thanks

Erick

Hi Erick,

Thanks for the post!

Are you subscribed to our newsletter? If so, you should have received one on the 7th May... We're currently rolling out full NEDweb support for the iPad by converting the 10,000 plus videos into iPad format.

As for NEDi, I can't comment on any particular info on this, but be sure we are working hard ;-)

the ability to view macprovideo titles on this device will be great!

FYI.. you can use the iPhone app on the iPad.

Would like to see HTML5 support on the web.

Why has macprovideo, just totally dropped the ball on this one?

First, martin promises in my other post it will be a week (maybe sarcastically), and still no word.

Second, the N.E.D for iPhone sucks on iPad, as you can barely see the videos

Third, they made excuses of not having an iPad. Come on, screencastsonline (located in england) had one, and it wasn't released there.

Fourth, they have done nothing with NED WEB to make it usable to iPad Users.

I may sound pissed, I guess, because I am. I turn to macprovideo for my training needs, and they have dropped the ball on this horribly. Yes, horribly. Who else feels my pain? I'm going to have to evaluate other training sources, where they at least don't discriminate against iPad Users. This whole fiasco has been a nightmare.

I'm sorry you're finding this painful... but really it takes time to convert 10,000 videos to iPad format and support HTML5 properly.

Thanks for your understanding,
Rounik

I'm a first time poster but I've been a macProVideo user since Logic 7 and I just had to put my two cents in here. MacProVideo will come through. They always do. You just need to be patient.

Ouch! Unfortunately I've no choice but to delete your post. It's not something I enjoy doing nor something I take lightly. I very rarely, if ever, need to delete genuine users posts...

These forums are a very open and friendly place where macProVideo customers and anyone in fact can have direct communication with MPV and with each other to provide feedback, help, advice and tips on all sorts of software related concerns. Please treat others here with respect. We can take constructive criticism... and are happy to get feedback from everyone... but there is a difference between requesting a feature for NED and from the tone and content of your deleted post.

- Advertising competitors products or services (aka Spam) is not on. Quite an obvious rule on most forums.

- HTML5 is the future for all Apple based browsers. Getting HTML5 compatible content for the iPad is important.

- We take feedback from customers very seriously and genuinely do our best to accommodate eveyone's needs. While this is not always possible, in this instance we've asked you to please be patient for a very short while longer as are atively working on an iPad solution. Developing solutions whether it be for NEDweb or NED or NEDi does takes time.

- btw, One million iPads (NOT 5 million) were sold in the first 28 days:

I believe about 10% may have been purchased unofficially by int. customers.

- iPads have not yet been officially released outside the US to date (28th March is the roll out in about 10+ countries, including the UK).

Thanks again for your understanding.

p.s. @ Devils Din, thanks :)

Rounik,

Now Macprovideo is censoring user forusm (nice). My post was not spam or advertising competitors products, all people have to-do is a web-search and find your competitors. Spam would be if I worked for a competitor, which I do not.

I understand arguing semantics, yes one million or five, iPad users are growing more and more each day.

I think my main point which came from my first post on this issue is most relevant. You could of had this sorted out before the release. January to April is three months, and then MPV wanted to wait to get a physical unit, and no one heard of the IPHONE SDK in your organization.

I do like the videos, however the solution will be not to buy anymore till you get this "Sorted Out", getting my videos from alternate sources in the meantime. If it takes a year or two, so be it. Again, the most powerful method to hurt a company is with your wallet, and not your voice.

OK. You're entitled to your opinions.

Go have a look on our 'competitors sites'. Interesting they don't have user forums eh!

These forums are a public service hosted by macProVideo... Not be used to advertise competitors sites. You posted a picture of an advertising banner of said company.... How is that not advertising?????

I am not trying to control or censor. If I was, beleive me, I could very easily have not replied to your 'deleted post', which makes it quite obvious to anyone following this discussion what your post was about.

I really don't know what you are trying to achieve by arguing dates, SDK's etc with me...???

I honestly don't know why you are so concerned to "hurt" anybody or any company???

It's completely up to you... if you can't wait a short amount of time (we announced beginning of May that we would be looking at the iPad) then it's completely up to you.

Whatever you decide, I hope you find it is right for your needs.

Thanks

Rounik is right. MacProVideo has always come through with great products and the best service around. Bear with them and you will see your patience will be amply rewarded.

Looking forward to N.E.D.I for iPad too.

Generally I don't do web streaming for training videos. I prefer to have the video downloaded so I can move around it more easily.

The iPad app is looking very sweet. We are very happy with how quickly it has come together. It should be submitted to Apple within 2 weeks.

FYI NEDweb is now iPad compatible. We still have around ~40% of our library to convert to H.264 and upload but most of our popular titles are working. Remember that download customers can stream their purchases through NEDweb on the iPad.

For the record, we do know what the iPhone SDK is. NEDi has been out for almost a year now and it wasn't written in VB =)

We all wish we could have been ready for the iPad release but we only have so much resources and we had other priorities which needed to be completed first.

I just bought an ipad (well it was a birthday/anniversary gift from my wife), and while I would love to see content on the device, I completely understand the depth of the work involved to convert that much content, and make sure it is all working properly (yes, even these automated conversion apps can mess up sometimes, so every video will require a review).

I think that to expect a company to be ready to go the minute a device, that was not supplied to a developer, is released is a little bit unrealistic, especially one with the huge amount of content like this one.

There is a solution: to give content owners access to streaming content while the main library is being converted. If you own a tutorial, at least having access to it in a higher quality version, would be a very nice thing... something to think about MPV.

I am looking forward to seeing my content in an ipad versions asap as well, but with wifi available in many places (even 24 hour fitness, where I'll be sitting for an hour on my bike every couple of days) I think offering complimentary streaming while the conversion process is being done would go a long way to satiate my desire to have a better quality image available for my ipad.

Just my 2 cents...

Hi George,

Thanks & happy birhday/anniversary! I also got an iPad recently & have been playing around and testing things out.

Good news... Customers how have purchased download tutorials can access those titles in NEDweb.

More good news: Try visiting macProVideo.com using your iPad and log-in. Now launch the player and you'll have access to stream your purchased tutorials...

NEDi2: Although not designed for the iPad resolution NEDi2 for iPhone works surprisingly well on the iPad... sure it's not full resolution... but IMHO, it's not bad at all! NEDweb is better and I have to say Skye and JMar have done wonders with NEDweb for iPad - I love using it... still not 100% there for all the content to be converted... but we're very close! The library needs to be converted for streaming too btw.

:)

Thanks for the feedback George.

You can already watch all of your purchased tutorials streaming in NEDweb. I think we should be done the conversion this week.

The iPad only plays H.264 video so only our updated tutorials will play on it.

If a title isn't working then it's likely not been reformatted yet. If it is one video in a title then contact Support as it's likely an error happened during the upload.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Yea, I discovered this just after I replied to the thread.

Very cool, now I can learn while I exercise...

As for the iPad, I've had a few issues with Apple over the last 26 years as a user, and I like to think I'm pretty impervious to the "Steve Jobs Jedi mind tricks" thing.

That said, the iPad is the single most cool device I have owned to date. It can be so many things, and most of them I can use at one time or another.

For example, the extra monitor thing Eric discovered at Spectrasonics is very handy, and the fact that I can read books, PDF manuals, and magazines on it, keep tech records for my clients, write, not to mention watch movies, TV and listen to music, whenever I want, with only a 1.5 lb package, well, it's revolutionary.

I'm sure it's only going to get better over time as well.

Take care,

George Leger III

Hey George,

I have to admit to feeling a similar way about the iPad. At times I forget about the way I'm interacting with it or performing / enjoying a task - it's like the interface dissolves at times... very interesting experience.

Yes, Air Display is a very very cool app.

I'd also recommend checking out AC-7 Pro. An excellent DAW controller.

Best,
Rounik

Soooo... any news about the iPad app?

chomping at the bit, i am. I do appreciate the web player, i do, i just don't want to rely on a good internet connection.

godspeed.

Once again, sorry for the delays. I feel like I say this a lot. Only so much resources to go around though.

We've gotten held up on some updates to our streaming library for the streaming side of the app. We're basically waiting on these updates to go through which should hopefully be done by the end of this week then final app testing next week.

If all goes well possible submission to Apple by the end of next week.
