iPod touch Streaming Video From PC...

[uMike]

...or Mac, o' course.

First, I feel it's important to begin my Mac Forums career as I mean to go forth. Therefore.

FIRST POST WOOT!!


Anyway, what I'm wanting to do is stream .mov or .mp4 from my hard drive to my touch over WiFi, using my PC as a file server, but I can't really make it happen. Tried using a bunch of file server stuff, but can only get the little "won't play" QT icon or w/e.

Ideas?

What do you mean???

Do you mean streaming video to your touch from your PC/Mac???

Well im not sure there is something like that because of how bad the quality would be and how choppy and slow it would be also...

But there is a program that lets you see what you are doing on your computer via the ipod touch or iphone.

The program is called RemoteBuddy

Why would it be choppy and/or slow? If i can stream video off the web with a 2Mb connection, I can stream off my PC with a 54 connection, no?

Or maybe I'm being naive...

Or, how about this; can I use a QT control inside a web page I write, then host on my PC, use (eg) iwebsaver to save it all from the local network onto my touch?
