Itheater cydia3/15/2023 ![]() Similarly, you might have perfect iPhone compatible data in an AVI container, but the iPhone isn’t going to understand it, because it’s in the wrong “box.” You can store all kinds of codecs (see the next list item) in an MOV thus, the mere presence of an MOV extension doesn’t mean that it will play on an iPhone. Video is stored in a digital “box” or container. Here’s a quick list of the main things you need to know about video compression: Why must the world be like this? Read on. Yet you can’t just put them on your iPod touch and hit play. The irony of this alphabet soup is that most of these file formats share the same basic compression technique-MPEG-4. You may have downloaded files that ended in. If you’re familiar with online video, you’ve probably downloaded AVI files, WMF files, and perhaps MOV files. So if you have a set of movies or music that you don’t want to go through the whole sync-to-iTunes process with, or if they’re work- or demo-related and not intended to be part of your personal listening library, this application is a great way to play them back outside of the iPod application. One of the nicest things about Air Sharing is that it allows convenient previews of any file that you upload and that the iPhone is capable of previewing, which includes any multimedia like MP3s and MOVs. You’ll be able to browse and download files (but not upload). Linux KDE: Konquerer expects the URL to be changed to webdav:// instead of Linux GNOME: Use the Nautilus File browser, but change the URL prefix from to dav:// Windows XP: Start→My Network Places→Add a Network Place→Next→Choose another network location→Type in the URL. Windows Vista: Start→right-click My Computer→Map Network Drive, select a drive letter, type in the URL. Mac OS X: Finder→Go→Connect to Server, then type in the URL. Luckily, several App Store apps solve both of these issues by turning the iPhone into a convenient portable file server. And it’s just not as cool.īut it’s also silly that you have to carry around your iPhone and a thumb drive, and that you can’t peek into your thumb drive and check which files are on it without plugging it into the computer. But using the iPhone as a physically connected thumb drive alternative is somewhat inconvenient-you must have your cable with you, you may need to install iTunes, and often a photo application will pop up. Part of the reason for the popularity and ubiquity of thumb drives is the need for a sneakernet-the term for “networking” by walking files from one computer to another. Sometimes you’re not online, but you just need a way to carry your files with you and get them onto another computer easily. Although there are now hundreds of ways to push your data into the “cloud”-email, FTP accounts, WebDAV, Amazon S3-sometimes you don’t want your data hosted out there on the Internet. In Manipulate Your iPhone’s Filesystem we discussed looking at files anywhere on your filesystem. Make your iPhone into the wireless successor to the thumb drive. And if you’re a videophile, you can carry dozens of feature-length movies on your iPod or remotely stream hundreds of DVD rips from home-this chapter will show you how. ![]() If you’re a bookworm, you’ll be able to overfill your iPhone’s digital bookshelf. If you’re obsessed with music, your new iPod connects you to others just as obsessed as you. If you’re a news junkie or RSS fiend, the iPhone is your friend. When you put it all together, you have a portable iPod successor that is for all intents and purposes always connected to the Internet, combined with gigabytes of high-speed solid-state storage. Both the iPhone and iPod touch have extensive networking support-and more wireless connectivity options than most laptops. Also unlike most smartphones to date, it runs Unix specifically, Mac OS X, which means that many of the open source, Linux, or BSD projects that could be compiled for the Mac can also run on the device. This means that it has best-of-breed audio and video performance and compatibility with the widely used tools for preparing content for video-enabled iPods. Unlike other smartphones, the iPhone builds directly on a rich iPod heritage. The iPhone is a media powerhouse, but there are ways to make it even more powerful. ![]()
