What I mean is that some cameras use pixel shifting or ailasing to create the false impression of resolution. If I were to shoot 1080P video on the same 5d Mark II , the resolution is much less than if I were to shoot an image sequence at the native sensor size, and downsample it to 1920x1080.

See these links for more reference. Not all 1920x1080P cameras resolve the same resolution.
