You'd need to offload the video, crunch it down in Quicktime or whatever, and AirPlay that.
The technical limitation is that the iPhone doesn't have the cojones, nor the power budget, to do full h.264 encoding on the fly while recording videos, so it has to use a less compressed format.

Well that is disappointing. So I don't get the hype surround this then. That was pretty much my only use for it that I could think of. If I need to reduce the quality for playing on Apple TV I would just stream it to my Apple TV from my PC instead of Airplaying it. I just can't foresee a situation where I would have a video on my phone that I wouldn't have on my PC. Apart from being at someone else's house that has an Apple TV (which I don't).
