Can I see MP4 files in iPad2

I have a new iPad2 and also a new GoPro camara which it records in MP4 format. I can see the movies in my MBP fine but I have tranfer the videos to my iPda2 and it does nothing it only show a black and white MP4 "picture" in iPhoto. Can iPad2 play mp4? and if so how.

iPad 2, iOS 4.3

There are a wide range of file formats that all claim to be MP4 (MPEG-4).


The iPad can play:
