Description
Enjoy your entire video collection everywhere! *
Is your iPhone/iPod touch full and yet it contains only a fraction of your video library? Are your videos in format unsupported by iPhone/iPod touch? Think of all those AVI, DivX, MKV and other files in your collection that would take weeks to convert just to be playable on iPhone.
Air Video is the ultimate solution for these problems.
★ Video Streaming ★
Instead of having to synchronize your videos
to device you can now watch them over air. Suddenly the capacity of your iPhone/iPod touch is infinite and the nuisance of iTunes is gone.
★ Live Conversion ★
iPhone and iPod touch are very picky about the video formats they can play. Normally this means you need to convert the entire video before you can watch it. This can easily take an hour!
With Air Video this is no longer an issue. Air Video supports almost all video formats and performs the conversion *on fly*. That means you don't have to wait until the file gets converted any more. You can start watching it almost immediately.
★ ★ ★
Air Video comes packed with features. It can share folders on your harddrive as well as iTunes playlists. It supports live conversion as well as offline conversion where the entire file is converted upfront. It lets you customize the conversion settings, adjust resolution, zoom and crop the video. And you can have unlimited set of user defined conversion profiles.
* Air Video works over local network and over internet (including 3G). However to enjoy streaming over internet your router must support UPnP or NAT-PMP protocols so that Air Video can setup the port forwarding for you.
* Air Video will not play DRM protected videos. This is a restriction set by Apple.
* Live Conversion requires firmware 3.0.
The free server software (available for Mac OS X Leopard and Microsoft Windows) is needed to stream and convert the videos and can be downloaded at http://www.inmethod.com/air-video .
If you have any trouble getting Air Video working please contact us either by email or through the support forum. We reply to every message that we get. Asking for help in customer reviews is unlikely to get your problem resolved because we have no way to contact you.

This is the one!
I have been looking The apps that can stream Like this, and finally i found it!
great job guys
I am amazed at how this works!
I received this app free from Appgiveaway and I fell in love with it. It is so much easier than I thought due to the good support at the website. I emailed the developer and had a response within minutes. ( That surprised me) I watch a lot of educational videos for college and I am looking forward to learning this neat program inside and out. I have a Mac, and I am surprised at how seamless the integration is. I hope it is as good for PC users. I would gladly pay full price for this app, especially due to the fact that the developer stands behind his promise to answer each email they receive.
Perfect!!!

Works so well and the live conversion made it even more usable. I can now watch my tv shows and movies on my phone anywhere in the house. Sure it would be nice in theory to have this level of functionality outside my home network but even with a 512k or 1Mb upload speed you are not gonna be fast enough for decent quality steaming from you house. For that, look elsewhere but be prepared for disappoinent. This app is 5 stars!
simply superb

this is my favorite app by FAR! with the new 2.0 update w/ live conversion it put itself over the top and is flat out awesome. developer is fantastic and gets back to you quickly and was very helpful to me. video quality is great and I was even able to stream out a movie over the Internet while staying with some friends over the weekend, had to forward a port on my router and that was it- BAM access all my movie collection on the go! wonderful !! tested on iphone 3gs / firmware 3.0.1
Just what I wanted

It may have a few bugs, but these don't take away from the product. The video quality is superb. Just the same as if it was saved on your iPhone. The converter is a little slow, but works well and converts into great quality. I would definately recommend this to anyone. Very usefull if you want to watch a different episode of a tv show and hate syncing your iPhone constantly.
EDIT: With the new update, conversion is faster. The live conversion took less than twelve seconds to play the movie. And eye candy increased. Keep up the great work
New version even better

Had a problem upgrading PC after app store upgrade. Contacted tech support at 8:00 PM Pacific and within minutes had a response with solution. Great application that also works well to convert videos to iPhone format for loading into iTunes and storing on iPhone.
Live Conversion makes Air Video shine!
I've played with a lot of OTA video programs out there - Sling Mobile, Orb, Roxio's Streamer, etc. and each has left me wanting a little bit more.

Great app needs a tweak to allow mpegs to convert. It would also be nice to see all files in a folder too. Other than that it works as described and is great! Oh and the password should be required each time we want to access files!...
Great Air Time
It worked flawlessly and it saves disk space on your iPhone. Video quality works well on the iPhone too. I found installation very simple to install on my apple server, so it's always on and available.
Unable to use app...server software website is down
By:
Frustrated Video Guy
Version: 1.4
I was very excited to try this application, but when I went to download the server portion of the software, the part that runs on your desktop, the vendor's website is down. It's been two days now, and while I can understand a small outfit not having the resources to keep things going 24x7, it reflects very poorly on the authors.
Not bad but video needs to be brighter!

I have no complaints. App works as it should. Suggestions for future releases would be ability to adjust more handbrake encoding options, and to be able to change the options on the iPhone.
Promising but not perfect
By:
DavidMills
Version: 1.4
I'm on the fastest wireless imaginable but streaming takes too much time. After 5 minutes or so perfect but my Apple TV is much faster. It's a pity that many movies has to be converted although 15-20 minutes for 2gb+ is fast. Annoying: subtitle ballon is there but if a language is selected no subs!
Wish list:
* separate folder for converted files
* if converted and put into iTunes put the word 'conversion' first so it can be filtered more easily
The best app hands down

Able to stream video to my iPhone and convert on demand. Does exactly what it says and the developer was extremely responsive to emails. Definitely worth the buy!

Like why can't I play my videos on my t.v this other app I have, athome video can play the video right on the t.v:(please update:)-
missing features
why only wi-fi? if I am going watch a movie I can simply watch it on my computer on a bigger screen. completely missed the point. this app should have been more like video version of simplifi media, where you can stream music anywhere.
Buy It!

I've got 300gb of videos all accessible on my iPod touch. Converts videos with one click set up the que and it does all the work. Best app I've ever used!
CONVERSION WONT WORK!
By:
woolyfork
Version: 1.0
...At least not on my iPhone/PC. If I select a video to be converted I get a dialog box that says my video has been sucessfully added to the conversion 'qeue'. But when i switch to the conversion page, it states that there are no videos in the qeue!!?!.. I tried this several times with a range of video formats (.avi, .mov,mpeg2, etc),but conversion function just won't work. Furthermore, unlike the previous poster, I cannot add video playlist from my iTunes library. The program can't seem to even find iTunes on my rig. And there is no option to let you manually navigate to iTunes. It DOES stream correctly formatted videos to the iPhone pretty good. Now if I could only get those other issues sorted out this software could really turn in to a MUST HAVE app...
(Still) Fantastic!

I am reiterating my review for a previous version - just keeps getting better and better. This app is a hidden jewel! I've been using it since version 1.0. It lets you stream video from servers on WiFi networks to your iPhone. This means no more making room on your iPhone or AppleTV, loading the movie you want to watch (wait for it to copy), then curling up with it to watch it. You have all the movies in your library readily available to you on your iPhone. Very very handy. Here's to hoping the developer will extent this concept to pictures also!
?
I'm an idiot... Can someone tell me how to load a server? I'm on a wifi network, but dont know the ip addy or port #. Any help is appreciated.

Loaded up the app, installed Bonjour as I don't have iTunes on my media server, with minutes I was browsing my video catalog and converting older content effortlessly.
If I could ask for one feature it would be live transcoding.
Well done to the programmers of this app, good idea to build on x.264.
Nice app

Great app. I've been looking sth like this for a while. With some other apps i can convert faster, maybe there should be more options for conversion.
Also if realtime conversion could be added that would be great. Tricky but not impossible.
Enjoy your video collection anywhere!

This app is awesome! Installed it and within minutes of downloading the server I was converting and watching videos on my phone! I've tried a lot of standalone video converters in the past, but they were all complicated or didnt work; this thing was converting videos for me with a single press of a button. If you want to watch videos on your IPhone or IPod this is definitely the way to go.
Excellent idea!

Is your iPhone filled with movies like mine? The description is not entirely clear on this it DOES allow streaming through iTunes!
Pros:
Streams quickly
Relieves space on your device
Easy to use
Good customer support
Has great potential to be even better
Cons:
DRM protected movies do not play
Conversions take a millenium
Pros:5
Cons:2
= 4 stars
As Advertised...
I don't review many apps but this does precisely what it advertises and is well worth $3.
The best app I own

After you download the server software for your pc or mac your itouch or iPhone becomes an instant mobile movie player. Incredible and have been waiting for an app like this. Now all my memory can be used for music and other apps.
