Theres progressive (1080
p) and interlaced 1080
i).... ignore the numbers, we're only looking at the letters. I don't think the 7 supports interlaced. On the tech specs page for the 7 it only says progressive as being supported. Interlaced is not mentioned.
It could be possible that Apple does not support interlaced at all, but I'd have to research to know for sure. You can always do a search to see if you can use a converter and convert an interlaced video to progressive.
