Streaming videos to devices from PC or Mac becomes more and more popular now. I have totally tried 2 video streaming apps – Air Playit & Air Video.


Following are their merits & demerits.




1. Streaming various videos to devices.

Both apps are capable of streaming various videos to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. I only tried streaming MKV, MP4 and AVI to iPad. It’s been good on the two apps.



2. Live conversion.

Both apps allow me to watch videos on devices immediately without any waiting. But, Air Playit realizes live conversion smoother than Air Video. Air Video seems requiring more buffering time. I was interrupted 4 times by buffering when live converting X-Men to my iPad 3G 32GB.



3. Supported OS

Both Air Playit and Air Video server support Windows/Mac OS. And the apps can be run on Apple iPhone iPad iPod touch. Hope they’ll both support Android later.



4. Playlist

Air Playit will automatically generate a playlist of my recent played videos and music, and also remember the last play point for each video. That’s a very sweet feature. Air Video doesn’t support this.



5. Built-in HTTP server

Air Playit has an innovation – it has been built in with HTTP server so that users can access media files via any web browser. That’s very attractive. This feature wins.



Welcome to post your reviews of either app.

I just tried out Air playit and I hate it. It does a horrible job at live conversion vs air video. Air video does it for me much faster as it lagged a lot with air playit. Took me less than 10 seconds to go anywhere in the movie I wanted, Air playit took over a 30 seconds and still buffered when it got there. True airvideo doesn't support a playlist like air playit does but that's not a big deal, useful if you want to watch more than one movie. Airvideo does remember where you last left off, but it only works on the last video you were watching, still not a really big deal I can deal with that. Air Playit has a HTTP server which you can access via any web browser nice feature I must admit probably won't use it much but it is a nice feature.

Oh yeah the other feature that Air Playit doesn't have is a server pin, instead of entering your ip address all the time you can enter a server pin and basically that's the pin you will always use. It's great for those who don't have static ip address so they don't always have to look up their ip address. Would really suck if you were watching a movie one minute then next minute your ip changes and you can't reconnect.

So yeah, try out both see which you like better, but air video gets my vote. Even though it cost money, it is well worth the money.

I hate Air Playit. It destroys the enjoyment of live conversion. Air video is better than the air playit as it offers more speed than Air playit. As Air video is more expensive but it gives the advantage of the invested money. Film can be quickly watch in it and with a good resolution and with good sound system.

i think it more depends on the bandwidth and the wireless network u choose. for example, it only took me 4 or 5 seconds for buffering via wi-fi. :rolleyes:

i think the use of playlist is convenient to bookmark videos to resume viewing later. if i closed the app, i can resume watching from where i left off. very thoughtful. im a video lover and i hav lots of videos of any kinds. so it's simple to go on with what im watching. :thumbsup:


ps: i must say, i love free app ahahaahhah

I would vote for the Air video, as it have been a cool combination with ifunia media converter for my video watching, stream quickly and get much more funny!

You mean you have bought a Air Video and been forced to buy ifunia media converter? That is predatory Bundling Sale, a move that might trigger the antitrust action in America.

No, not forced to buy the ifunia.
I got the Air video for a long time, but the ifunia is gotton for converting dvd movies&audios, which got when it's giveaway on the mac app store.

Do you want to watch movies on your iOS device, like your iPhone or iPad? Is there enough disk space on your device to actually hold these movies? Is the file format even iOS compatible?

Movie files can be extremely large and since these mobile devices typically only hold 8-64 GB of data, you might not want to store movies on the device.
