I'm trying to put 1080p movie trailers that I downloaded from iTunes on my iPad and it won't let me put them on it?

Can the iPad play 1080p video?

Ipad doesn't support the 1080P or 1080i resolution. So, no.
It's 9.7 inch tablet. What did you expect...
In order to support 1080P, you screen needs have 1920 X 1080 resolution or higher. I still have yet to see anything that is less than 15 inch screens that supports 1080P resolution.

whats the point of the iPad doing 1080p if the screen resolution is 1024x768 - even if it could, you would see 768p not 1080p?!
If it had higher res - something like the Retina Display on the iphone 4 it would be something else

Unfortunately, the iPad can't play 1080p videos. Also, how/where did you download movie trailers on iTunes? I'm in Canada if that makes a difference.

Apologies for opening a year-old thread, but...I think the point is people who want to be able to have one video that plays on all of their devices. This is the problem I'm going through right now. I want to have 1080p videos on my media server, for watching on my AppleTV. Kinda crappy that I'd have to have two versions of the same movie in order to watch on both my TV and my iPad, and I'm really not willing to sacrifice quality in order to have one copy that plays on everything.
XBMC for iOS does allow the playback/streaming 1080p videos. I currently have it working just fine with a upnp share and a windows smb share. Xbmc is cross platform and would work fine to stream to the iPad. It would have to be jail broken though. It works by automatically downscaling the size as I buffers I believe.

Thanks but no thanks. This is making it overcomplicated, and that's what I'm trying to stay away from. Like usual, I'll just have to be patient until Apple comes around.

At least now the iPhone 4S with it's tiny screen can play 1080p video. (At least the video recorded from the camera).
This was the first time I have ever witnessed this on youtube...
This is 720p on youtube for the ipad 3 on mobile youtube site:

This is the time when it allowed full 1080! I took a screenshot when it I chose 1080 and it loaded! You can see the difference!:

I was so surprised it did this! I should have taken a screenshot to prove it had 1080p option. But I think the difference is noticeable! On a freakin 15 in screen!

On the time I wrote that post the Apple TV only allowed up to 720p, technology evolves, it was almost 4 years ago.
