to do that open Terminal and type these commands (enter your user’s password if asked – you have to be admin btw):

I’m using iPhone OS 3.x on my iPhone and recently i had problems to get my .mp4 files displayed in mobile Safari. I tried different settings for encoding the files but not a single one worked. When i clicked the link to the .mp4 file in mobile Safari, all i got was the “file can’t get downloaded” error. After some googling i found a clue that it might has something to do with MIME types and the apache server hosting the videos.
Solution:
- encode your videos for iPhone / iPod Touch (Compressor, Quicktime, Adobe Media Encoder, …)
- test them on the device (add the video to your iTunes library and upload it to your iPhone and watch it!)
- upload the video to your webserver
- make sure you have the following line in your apache config or in a .htaccess file in your directory on your webserver:
1
| AddType video/mp4 mp4 mp4v mpg4 m4v |
That’s it, now progressively watching .mp4 videos from your webserver on your iPhone should work (again).

AtomicParsley is a freeware commandline tool for Mac OS X as well as for Linux and Windows (cygwin). It allows to manipulate the metadata in mpeg4 files (m4a, m4b, m4p, m4v & mp4) and in 3GPP files.
It’s very handy if you like to generate or manipulate the metadata in movie files to provide iTunes-like metadata automatically on a server. It even can turn your selfmade movies into “video podcasts” or “movies” inside your iTunes library like the movies you downloaded from the iTunes Music Store.
Recently, Yahoo launched a beta version of a service called Media RSS that lets anyone with footage submit videos for distribution. Bradley Horowitz, director of multimedia and desktop search at Yahoo, said the feature is designed to provide an easy way for “mom and pop creators of video” to connect with people who might be interested in viewing their content. The RSS feature follows the December launch of a video search engine.
This year, Yahoo is projecting that the number of videos streamed over the web will grow by nearly 50 percent from last year. Citing forecasts it commissioned from AccuStream iMedia Research, Yahoo said net users are expected to stream more than 21 billion videos in 2005, up from 14.2 billion last year.
Yahoo’s video-related rollouts come as the company’s arch rival, Google, is expanding in the video search arena. Google is currently running a beta version of an upload program that lets anyone submit videos electronically to its Google Video site, so long as they own the rights to the work. The company said the videos will be made available on its video search site, but has not specified a date.

nice roundup of what is currently happening on the video distribution market. i think things will slightly change in future and we can expect alternative or amateur video content as a seperate format next to tv and video on demand.
