When iTunes 10.6 was released last week, I set the video download format to 1080p (up from the old 720p-only option).
So yesterday, my machine automatically downloaded the new episode of Walking Dead in 1080p (and for whatever reason I haven't been getting the SD versions of the last several episodes).
Anyway, today after syncing my iPad, iTunes tells me that my iPad 2 cannot play the video format. Really?
So what's the point of Apple selling 1080p if the iPad 2 and, presumably, the iPhone can't play them? I haven't tried on my Apple TV version 2, either, so I have no idea if it'll play there, either.
I'm fully aware that the iPad 2 doesn't have the resolution to play 1080p at full res, but it should at least be able to downscale. Am I wrong???
