Get More Video on your iPhone

Yes iPhone and iPod touch users have YouTube and Quicktime, but what if you video link doesn't work, or it's a standard not supported. Go to vTap and search for you clip. http://m.vtap.com. Beta It runs as an iPhone app or an iPhone/Mobile structured web page. It converts your video to QuickTime. It's in the backgounf so you can do long clips with ease and get you playlist setup. It converts video to iPhone format in several qualities. It has an audio only coversion to iPhone format that is very quick and would be great on a slow 3G connection.

M.vtap.com is a great service for all mobile phone users. Web developers can also use it to keep there iPhone and Mobile device users engaged by offerring them access to your video content without the hassle of doing your own conversion from Flash to QuickTime. Hope to see more of this. No Hulu yet, but would be nice. Of couse iPhone Flash and other adobe plugins for the iPhone would end the need for this type of service, but we can leave that up to Apple developers. (images shown are the Safari vTap version)

Setup of Warner Brothers Digital Copy Manager

How to watch Digital copy that came with DVD.  On Windows computer with Media Player only.  

Tried this with the coupon that came with my DVD of "The Hangover" Screenshots of setup and installation.   

Took about 15 minutes to get started the first time, first movie.  Now I have the WB Movie manager ready to go.  Can also rent directly from this manager.  Or watch free previews.

Warner Brothers Digital Copy

Purchased a DVD from Best Buy and it came with code to get a digital copy. It took a little while to instal the WB digital copy manager but it downloaded fast and now I have an extra copy of the DVD. Picture of "The Hangover" on Sony Bravia KDL-32S2010 via HDMI from Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F on Win7. Don't accept the small picture that defaults. Go to HDMI resoulution settings and pick the best settings. 720p and and second adjustment to fit. WB manager is an Adobe Air plugin for Windows Media so no extra player needed. Windows only -- no Mac, but had a mobile player option (smaller file). The offer coupon expires, but the download copy doesn't seem to. www.wbdigitalcopy.com/hangover / www.wbdigitalcopy.com/support
