Q: Movie and TV shows won't play on original iPad

I recently purchased Wreck it Ralph and a season of Peppa Pig (kids show on Nickeloden) and neither will load on my original iPad. The software is up to date and it will let me put other stuff on there (Lorax, Madagascar 3, etc) but those will not load. Is it because it's the original iPad and that's now obsolete in the Apple world??? Help me! Thanks!!

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

It gives me this warning: "Wreck It Ralph" was not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPad. What does that mean?? How do I get it to be supported??

So does this mean if I purchased the HD version it will automatically format to allow for the SD format since that is apparently what works on the original iPad?? This is so frustrating.
