somethin about the iphone that when you try to access a video when you are logged into a pass protected area, the vid wont work... the phone doesnt carry your user/pass.
anyone know the fix?

what do you mean? I have iphone. i convert the videos with ABC 3GP/Mp4 Converter 3.0 (search for google) and works fine.
Probably you problem is from video player. I've downloaded real player.

Ok .. sorted it out
Iphones don't have a flash player and CAN NOT watch Adobe flash streaming ..Adobe is in negotiations with them but Apple will not release the SDK to them so they can create a proper flash player .... I am not sure but i don't think you can download video to them either .. they are designed to get video from your computer via your itunes link ... you can down load all vids to your comp and then use any number of converters to change them to whatever format you want to play them on ..just found this free one you might be interested in .. http://www.download.com/Free-iPod-Vi....html?hhTest=1

these phones are not what I was hoping they would be ..

The version of Safari running on Apple’s iPhone shows the web without Flash, Windows Media, Real Player, or Java applets. It’s not just a case of few plugins gone missing. Here’s why Apple chose to cut proprietary content from the web, and what it means for Adobe, Sun, Microsoft, Real, and other mobile makers.

Apple's ongoing web strategy seems to have no respect for Adobe’s Flash, which is currently in wide use to add animations to web pages. Flash is sometimes even required to view certain poorly-conceived web sites.

Flash is also commonly used to provide a lowest-common denominator for delivering web video. Flash video is encoded using a proprietary codec licensed from On2 and served on the web via a Flash-based controller. Google's YouTube uses Flash in this manner.

Apple recently convinced Google to start offering its YouTube videos in an H.264 format that can be accessed by both the iPhone and Apple TV. The obvious reason for moving to H.264 video rather than using Flash is that Flash requires decoding the video on a general purpose CPU using the Flash/On2 software codec.

We run h.264 in our members areas already actually. Its not the codec that is the issue I think, its the player itself with is an .swf which is flash. So essentially the container that is used to deliver the video is where the problem is. Of course Im on 4 hours sleep in about 48 hours or so, so I might be loopy still lol
