Air Video broadcast movies from your Mac to iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch

A few weeks ago in Frendfide ensued an interesting discussion of the application for the iPad. Participants have thrown a lot of references to the smart program. On one of them - Air Video - I would like to tell. With the application you can watch on your iPad movies and TV shows that are stored on your PC or Mac. In this case, you do not have to deal with video conversion, as Air Video supports even «matryoshka» (MKV)

Air VIdeo - a complex consisting of two programs. One is downloaded from the App Store on your iPad (or iPhone, iPod Touch), another - is installed on a desktop or laptop. To view the films you need both programs.

Desktop application Air Video Server acts as a server, the video is broadcast. After installing the program you need in the settings window to specify the folder with movies. You can also choose whether or not to display subtitles, which can be a maximum resolution for video, etc. Because the to view the video on iPads and requires the inclusion of Mac running Air Video Server, it is worth noting Start at Login option.

Setting Air Video on your mobile device is also very simple: the program will detect shared folders with video. Since the Air Video supports video playback various formats (mp4, m4v, mov, avi, wmv, asf, mpg, mpeg, mkv, 3gp, dmf, divx, flv), before view you will be prompted to select a way to convert video - on the fly (while the film will be transferred to a format understandable for aypada right during viewing time) or in advance. The second method is good because it can convert movies before the trip and see it, for example, on the train, in the distance from the Mac. :)

Air Video Server - free and available for Mac & Windows. Air Video for iPhone / iPad in the EPP-Store is available in two versions. Free limited to what shows, not all movies in the folder. The paid version will cost $ 3 and worth every penny ;-)

I recommend the application to all iPad owners.
