Don't synchronize your videos, watch them over air! Suddenly the capacity of your devices is infinite! Air Video supports almost all video formats and performs the conversion "on-the-fly". No waiting for files to convert, they are done in real time as you watch! If you want to store your video inside the device instead of streaming it, Air Video will convert it for you to iPhone friendly format. Forget the hassle with conversion settings, just one tap and the video conversion is on. Air Video comes packed with features. It can share folders on your harddrive as well as iTunes playlists. It supports live conversion and offline conversion where the entire file is converted upfront. It lets you customize the conversion settings, zoom and crop the video. 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. Otherwise you will need to configure the port forwarding manually.

Air Video – iPad App Review
Intro: One of the most frequent things I do with my iPad is watch videos. Of course, video files take a lot of space. My digital movie collection is quite large and keeps growing. If I count my family videos, the collection becomes even larger. There is no possible way for me to cram all my video content into my iPad...
Final words: Air Video gives you an alternate option to live streaming apps (ABC Player and Netflix). It is worth a download for all of you that already have a large digital video collection. Watching videos is almost as simple as using your iPad’s Videos app. So why not stream your video content from your media PC or Mac?

Updated Review: Air Video for iPhone and iPad
Intro: If you want to watch movies and TV shows on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad it can be a challenge. Converting videos to an iDevice friendly format can take a lot of knowledge and effort. Wouldn’t it be great if you could stream all those videos right to your device? Now you can, with Air Video. Air Video is a universal app; it works on the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. When the iPad version was first introduced it lacked some of the features of the iPhone version. Now, with the current version (2.2.4) functionality is the same on all iDevices though some of the screens and controls are different in appearance and layout...
Final words: Air Video fills a void that iTunes has left by allowing you to watch almost any video you have regardless of the format it is in. This is a must buy for anyone who wants to watch videos away from their computer. Air Video is definitely worth the $2.99 price tag and there is also a free version if you’re still not sure.

Air Video - Watch your videos anywhere!
Intro: Watching video on the iPad’s large screen is certainly a step-up from the iPhone or—horrors—a fifth-generation video iPod, but now you’re confronted with a new problem: how much can you store on your device? InMethod’s Air Video helps eliminate that dilemma by allowing you to stream video over the network from your home computer. No more syncing, no more making sure you erase old videos to free up space, and, best of all, you don’t even have to convert videos into a compatible format...
Final words: did run into some glitches with Air Video—sometimes the stream is a bit choppy, on rare occasions the video and audio get out of sync, and once or twice it cut off the end of a video. But overall, it works astoundingly well, and the option to have it on both the iPad and iPhone is great—while the former clearly has a better display and speaker, the latter is super handy for watching videos while on the exercise bike at the gym. Personally, I just like being freed of the tyranny of remembering to sync videos to my device before I leave the house; it feels like the future.

Air Video, the Best iPhone Video Streamer $3 Can Buy
Intro: Media streamers aren't exactly new, but there's another entrant to the field that works so simply and easily it should be nearly mandatory for any iPhone user. It's called Air Video—and it's only three bucks. Here's the scenario: I've got a NAS with about a terabyte or so of video sitting on my network. Some torrented files, a lot of DVD rips I made myself, a fair amount of random Xvid and MKV files I've kept for years, and quite a few h.264 MPGs that I encoded of my own work...
Final words: I don't know if I'll sell the TV and the Mac Mini or not, but Air Video has made me realize that if I wanted to, I could get the same functionality on an iPad. I'll never be without my video library again. Not bad for three bucks.

Hands-On with Air Video, Stream Video to iPad, iPhone
Intro: Video files take a lot of space. Instead of cramming all your HD content into the relatively puny confines of your iPhone or iPad, why not stream it from your PC?...
Final words: Do I sound impressed? I am. Air Video costs just , and there is a full-featured free version that shows only a subsection of the movies in each folder. The internet streaming in a neat gimmick, but the real magic is in the live conversion. I have a 64GB 3G iPad on order from the US, but even with all that space there’s no way I want to convert the TV shows [my friend] downloads daily. With Air Video, I can keep them on my Mac and stream them to my bed. Sweet.

iPad App Review: Air Video
Intro: Air Video is a fantastic app that is now available for the iPad. What the app allows you to do is to stream your videos from any PC or Mac to your iPad device. As I’m sure you will already be able to tell, this will be a very useful feature as a lot of us have hundreds, if not thousands of videos on your home computers and the iPads memory might not be enough to store everything that you’ve got. But just how well does it work really? Well, let’s find out...
Final words: Overall, this is a fantastic app and it is available in the iTunes app store for just $2.99. The amount of feature that the app has is incredible for that price so get it now before the price skyrockets.

Air Video Streams Any Video to Your iPad, Is the Best $3 I’ve Spent in the App Store
Intro: The concept behind Air Video is pretty simple: Your iPad/iPhone can't play all that many video formats, but you've got countless types of videos on your desktop. You don't want to convert them all just for your stupid iPad, but even if you did, you'd be eating up your precious iPad hard drive with video, and you don't want to do that...
Final words: In fact, even if you were only using it to stream video over your local network, it's still better than bogging your device with giant video you'll just have to remove to swap in other ones.
