title: MPMoviePlayerController supported formats in iPad
body: <p>According to the <a href="http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/MediaPlayer/Reference/MPMoviePlayerController_Class/MPMoviePlayerController/MPMoviePlayerController.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/MPMoviePlayerController" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MPMoviePlayerController</a> reference:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>This class plays any movie or audio
    file supported in iOS. This includes
    both streamed content and fixed-length
    files. For movie files, this typically
    means files with the extensions .mov,
    .mp4, .mpv, and .3gp and using one of
    the following compression standards:</p>
    
    <ul>
    <li>H.264 Baseline Profile Level 3.0
    video, up to 640 x 480 at 30 fps. (The
    Baseline profile does not support B
    frames.) </li>
    <li>MPEG-4 Part 2 video (Simple
    Profile)</li>
    </ul>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Does this mean that the highest video resolution that I can programatically play in an iPad is just 640x480? Or are the supported video formats for iPad specified somewhere else?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
