Stream Videos in Your House to iPod, iPhone and iPad


I just learned about this new cool application that lets you stream video from your PC to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. The software is called Air Video from a company called In Method (http://inmethod.com). Setup is simple and easy, you can start streaming and watching on your iPod in less than 5 minutes. First step is to download an install the Air video server on your computer, this is a free download. Once the server is installed, you can add folders you can view by right clicking on the Air Video server icon on your task bar and add folders. Next step is to download and install the Air Video application on your iPod/iPhone/iPad. Once installed, you can run the Air Video App, select the server, select the folder and select the video you want to watch. For some videos, converting is necessary, but the cool thing about Air video is that it can stream and convert at the same time, so while your watching the movie, Air video is actually converting it. While I was watching movies on my iPod touch, the quality of both video and sound were excellent with very minimal delay.
