iPhone 5 to iPad compression problem?
I take video clips on my iPhone 5 then put together old time movies using an app called Vintagio. They come out great but are too big to send to my iPad until I found PT. then I thought it would be great to send the clips via PT to my iPad and work on the movies there since its a bigger screen. The only problem is apparently those clips must get compressed by PT during the transfer because the once on my iPad Vintagio says the quality is too low to use, but I can use them on the iPhone version. I thought PT sent full size video? Is there a setting somewhere or some other work around that anyone knows about to prevent compression?

Thank you for contacting us, I will be happy to assist you!
Our app doesn't reduce the quality of your videos or photos when you use our app to transfer to/from your device. However if the videos are transferred from a higher resolution device (iPhone 4S) to a lower capable device (iPad 2) are indeed resized to be able to be saved and played on the receiving device.
This is actually the only time when the videos NEED to be resized because otherwise they would be rejected by the lower resolution device. What happens is that if we send the video 'as i' on the sender device (iPhone 4S in this case) the iPad 2 will reject it as it is not capable to play the video. So we change the resolution of the video to the maximum resolution accepted by the receiving device. When sending from iPhone 4S to iPad 3 then there is no need to changing the video as the iPad 3 (a newer and more capable device) will be able to save and play the iPhone 4S videos. Again this only happens with videos (not photos) and only when transferring from a newer to older device. So this might be the reason why you are experiencing any reduction in quality.
I hope this helps! Please let me know what generation devices you are using!
Best,

I'm discussing this very thing at this other thread.

And I've had 1080p playing on my iPad2 already, and transferred from my PC to iPad2 with a lower version 3.x PTA as long as its the file type supported on the iDevice The screen resolution didn't mean much.
So if this newer PTA v4.x is different from the last v3.x I want to know..!
True, this is only possible for the iPad2. It was faster processor and graphics engine than the iPad1 older and slower first version.
Maybe try transfer to PC first from iPhone5 then see if the PC to iPad2 will work
If you're trying to put a vid from iPhone 5 to an iPad 1 - that is why you can't it's too slow to work with it and try's to alter the file to play it.
I'm hoping with new iOS updates to v7 more options for photo / video transfer are made available.
