But I find that in general, Apple devices close themselves off to a ridiculous degree. My wife recently made a short film for a wedding on her Mac... and wow, was it painful getting it exported in a high-quality format. iMovie or whatever it is now wanted of course to export as QuickTime, which for many reasons was not a good option. Now, on my PC, using free software, I can easily export high-quality video in a dozen or more formats. But her Mac severely limited those options without buying QuickTime Pro.
Or you just use Handbrake on the Mac to convert it for free. Besides, the latest "format" of Quicktime is MP4, which playable by every media play that I know of.
To answer Bob's question (or to annoy him - I don't know which), iPads can do what you want ... with a Mac.
