    I just use the html5 video tag with fallback for older browsers. there is a nice tutorial diveintohtml5.org/video.html. the iPad is very picky about the video you feed it. I usually have mp4 videos for the ipad. They seem to work better than .mov files.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I converted my movie to mp4 and then used the video tag with parameter loop but it doesn't work on an iPad.
    Do you have an example of a working code on an iPad ?
    Thanks
