Awesome news for Facebook users who either own an iPhone, iPod and especially an iPad. Facebook has finally taken the big step, all the videos on Facebook are now in MP4 format, so that means you can now view them directly on your beloved iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.

Watching videos on Facebook is as easy as 1,2,3… All you have to do is click a any desired videos and that’s it.

Many people thought Facebook.com rolled out the new HTML 5 to display the videos but instead the videos are transcoded into an MP4 Format for Apple devices to view.

In our tests this morning, it appears that Facebook isn’t actually using HTML5 to display the videos. Instead, what appears to be going on is that Facebook.com is detecting that you’ve arrived to the website via the Safari web browser on the iPad. When you then attempt to play a video on the iPad, it doesn’t play inline (something that would have been a clear confirmation of an HTML5 implementation). Instead, Facebook is linking out to the actual video, transcoded to MP4, a video format that plays on Apple devices.

We confirmed this by uploading a video file to Facebook in WMV format (a non-iPad compatible video format) and then attempting to play it on the iPad. It played as an MP4 file.
