Hmm… ya know what? I’m not seeing enough of a difference here to make it worth the effort to go with MPEG-4. If anything, FLV looks crisper. Also, it seems the entire MPEG-4 video has to buffer before it starts playing, and that’s a definite disadvantage.
This is sort of an important post. First, I’m seriously considering getting an iPhone 3G, after the initial rush has passed. But I was going to get a full-featured FiOS TV set top box for the porch, and instead I went for the free digital converter, so maybe I won’t get an iPhone.
The point to this 10-minute video about the new iPhone is that it’s in an entirely different format than what I’ve used up to now. This is just the proof of concept, and the next thing to do will be converting one of my own video transfers into the new format. If this works, from now on the videos should be watchable in full screen mode.
