Hi,

we've been doing some research on how to deliver video to iphones, ipods, ipads and got the following

The iPhone supports the following codecs:

File container: MPEG-4
Video codec: H.264, baseline profile
Audio codec: AAC
In addition to making sure you use a supported codec, you will want to deliver the videos at an encoding rate that can be expected to play back reasonably well on a mobile device. You need to find a balance that will not take too long to buffer while still delivering a high quality viewing experience. Brightcove recommends the following data rates for your video and audio channel in your file:

Total data rate: 256kbps
Video data rate: 192kbps
Audio data rate: 64kbps

Can the video module support this natively?

If it can, can anyone help out with config?

If not we're happy to pay for development if you provide a quote

Thanks,
Ken

The MediaFront module which is in beta uses the Open Standard Media player using JQuery.
