What kind of support issues are you having with ipads?
If you want to use videos instead, consider streaming the video (this can even been done within a course) from a service like Vimeo that will work well over different internet speeds.
Only the most recent iPad hardware and software will play HTML5 successfully. Older hardware/software either can't keep up or fails hard, e.g., blanks slides, freezing display, and many other symptoms.

PS: Thanks for responding, but I'd like to keep this thread on topic.
I wasn't trying to go off topic, just trying to understand the issues you are having. I typically test my courses on an older ipad over a pretty slow connection and have not had those problems.
Are you able to play HD youtube videos from the devices in question? If so, then that should give you an idea of their capabilities. It's hard to answer your question because there is such a wide range of video sizes and video bitrates, that why I recommended a streaming service like Vimeo which may use adaptive bandwidth and might be able to detect if the device hardware is having trouble playing the video.
