Air Video Free App Reviews
Featured Review
“Wow. This app just blew me away. Having access to movies that are stored on my computer alone is an impressive feat, but what really makes this a must have is its ability to live convert movies over the air. What this means is if you have videos on your computer in .avi or any other format that the iPhone is unable to play, it will convert them as you stream the movie. It instantly cues up on your iPhone, as if you were playing a file stored on the device. The smooth streaming and amazing live conversion, and even the experimental stream over 3G outside of your home network feature make this a must have for anyone with a movie collection at home. The best part is nothing is stored on the device, so if you are the kind of person, like me, who doesn't really watch movies on his or her iPhone, it is always there in a pinch if you need something to kill time, without wasting space for your music and other stuff you use more often.”

“Watch streaming video in your iPhone, streamed directly from your computer and reencoded on the the fly. Can't being to describe the awesomeness of this app. I've been using it very often for months.”

“This is the perfect app for people who want to share video with other people. It is an easy solution to streaming video from your computer to your iDevice.
After installing either the paid or free app, install the free Air Video Client on your computer. In the client setup, you choose what folder(s) you want to stream to your iDevice.
After you set up the client, set up the app to communicate with the client by entering a code that the client will supply. The app will then communicate with the client and will bring up a list of videos that are in the folder and sub folders of the directory that you specified when setting up the client.
Most videos you have will probably not be supported by the type of video that iPhones, iPods, and iPads support. But no worries! With one tap, the app will convert the video to an iPhone-friendly version so the video can play on your device.
Have an iPod Touch or Wi-Fi only iPad? The app can also download videos to your device for offline viewing. This is a perfect option if you want to share videos with friends and family while you’re not at home. Also, this throws out the need to constantly sync your device with iTunes to put your videos on your device. Just press a button and they will download wirelessly.
I have not had any problems with this app, which is always a very good thing. I love everything about it!”
