Fire tablet settings
Amazon Fire tablets have modest storage and 720p–1080p screens. This preset caps the long side at 1280 px and uses H.264 Main profile, which plays in the Fire's built-in video app and in VLC. E-ink Kindle readers cannot play video at all.
Good to know
Output is MP4 with H.264 video (yuv420p, the colour format every player supports), AAC stereo at 48 kHz, and the index moved to the start of the file so playback and uploads begin immediately.
Supported files
MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, WMV, FLV, M4V, 3GP, 3G2, MPEG, MPG, TS, MTS, M2TS, VOB, OGV, MXF, ASF, DIVX, F4V, SWF, DV, MOD, TOD, WTV, RM and RMVB video, with H.264, HEVC, VP8, VP9, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, WMV, Theora and other codecs. AV1 videos cannot be read in the browser yet. Files up to 1 GB each.
