4S 1080p video and the Apple TV

[J@ffa]

I was just reading over the 4S section of the Apple website and remembered that it now records 1080p video. Does anyone know how the current Apple TV is likely to handle these files when it comes to AirPlay/iTunes streaming? If anyone has an iPad 2 (since it has the A5 chip), it'd be cool if you could download the sample file off the Apple website posted here and let us know whether it works or not. If not, presumably a new Apple TV will be out soon!

It downgrades to 720p

Ah, good to hear. Thanks!

Ah, bad to hear--when will AppleTV catch up with all of the TVs and now even their own phone.

pretty ridiculous than our phones will handle higher quality files that the dedicated apple tv, thank god for firecore but still lacking 1080p support now is just stupid
