Can you stream MP4 video to iphone 5? Or does it force you to convert to something like AVI or MP3 to use with iPhone?

There are apps which can play almost all formats on iPhone, iPad. Just make sure that these can also access network drives. Personally I use PlayerExtreme.

You might be able to use vlc player. Vlc player is on itunes market. It worked wireless for streaming from another wifi based flash drive. The one from sandisk. VLC supports all kinds of formats, though the stream speed will affect whether or not its watchable.

ITunes stores these as M4V files (movies) - how do you use the wifi to play them on your ipad? Can this alone let you stream movies or do you need another software to stream or do you have to convert out of the MPEG-4 Video File (.m4v) format to another to stream movies?I think some people are buying these to expand the otherwise fixed memory of an ipad so if you can't stream this is not going to work for us.

Or if you have a number of avi files that require conversion to the MP4 format .seek out the free and easy to use Handbrake app

Think of it this way. Any format your iphone can play (mp4 for example), this unit can handle. So, you cannot, out of the box, stream an avi file to your iphone from it. You must convert the avi to mp4 first. Not because the drive can't handle avi, but because the phone can't. If you need a converter check out Smart Converter for Mac.

Sorry, but I don't support Apple products. I can connect my Android devices though. Maybe you can Google how to connect your iphone to a projector. It does have a memory card in case if you want to watch movies/pics, etc. It's also great for presentations.

Yes, you should have no trouble. It uses the 30 pin connector but I used Apple's adapter and use my iPhone 5 with no problem. PS. no video, just audio. Ps, I have used mine for 3-4 years and it has been great. You can switch songs and pause / play from the unit. I even bought another one as the cable in mine is going bad. Too much use. LOLHope this helps

I don't believe it would work. The video output from a 5 or 5s iphone is digital, 4 and 4s video output is analog.

It requires very precise formatting. Mine all came up as "not supported" until I downloaded the file converter free plug in and followed their tutorial http://content.miccastore.com/sites/default/files/Micca%20Standard%20Video%20Recode%20Tutorial.pdf Once you do that (and it is easy) the video should play on the device

That's what I was hoping for, but no, not from what I've seen from trying to use it. The issue is that you have to connect to this dongle as a WiFi network of its own, which means you can only play stuff already downloaded onto your device i.e. music or video already on your iPhone, not streaming. I think the Roku stick (coming out this week) is better for what you want to do.

Yes it will work with both for syncing, charging and playing audio only providing you will plug it to the lightning adapter then your phone. At this time apple has no adapter for video out for iPhone 5.

I think the answer is "no"! I don't have an IPhone, but I tried playing a video from my computer using Airplay and could not do it. Audio worked great for audio pieces but not from video.

It overwrites old video - if need be, copy files to your computer. As far as iPhone, sorry but I have never tried it

it doesn't really work. I bought the adaptor from the 4 to the 5 at the apple store. but all it does is play my pictures, not movies. They haven't updated yet that i know of.

The question itself is not correct - this does not have anything to do with converting videos. This device is just a way to hookup your wi-fi devices - and yes it works with an iPhone. As to your question about M4V, you have a few options, and they have nothing to do with this device. A) get software on a desktop PC or Mac, and have it do the video conversion (and then you copy or stream or sync it from the computer to the phone). Free software that can convert for you is "Handbrake" or "VLC". Don't pay for software that does this. B) Get an app on the iPhone which can convert video formats. Apps which claim to support this kind of conversion do exist, but they're expensive and VERY slow (your phone was not meant to do this). An IOS video converter app is really only meant to convert short video files, so I do not suggest this option... C) Get a streaming application for your desktop PC or Mac, which does on-the-fly video conversion between formats. "Plex Media Server" is the best example of this, and it's FREE for your computer (note you will need to buy the Plex player app for your phone: it's ten bucks). Other server choices are "PS3 Media Server", "XBMC", and more you could Google for. I use option C. My Plex server is an old Mac Mini hooked up to my TV. I bought the Plex app for my iPad and iPhone. I can wirelessly watch videos on any device in my home, or when I travel (you can download the video to your iPhone, if you have space. Or you can remotely connect to your home computer, assuming your computer is kept powered on).

I have an I phone 4s but I heard that the iPhone 5 had a different size bottom so probably not. Good thing is, its a line in option so you can just get the chord for like 5 bucks. It also has audio/video outputs so if you had an older iPhone or iPod you can watch any type of video or movie directly on your tv. Hope this helped. I love this little sound bar lol.

No. There isn't any way to stream the video. The video records to a chip that has to be removed from the camera to access the files.

You will need a lightning to 30-pin adapter, says the nice customer service rep from Philips. We are going to try this, so I can update this answer after Christmas! Update: The adapter works perfectly, both for charging and for playing content from the iPhone 5.

the only way to hook up anything (other than a pre iphone 5)is to connect via VGA. For this you need a VGA adapter from your device- be it an iPhone 5 or a macbook-AND a VGA to projector cable. And there's the problem, the proprietry VGA to projector cord is almost impossible to get since I bought my projector. Great little device, but I can't get a VGA cable. My advice is locate a cable first, or buy a different model. I am pretty disappointed I bought this, i was pretty excited at the use I could out it to at work and home, but it's instead barely been used.

Hi. There are various MP4 file formats. If our unit does not read or recognize the file you would like to play, we recommend converting or downloading file as a AVI, DVIX or M4V.

I thought I seen a vid on youtube with a guy watching netflix on the unit. On an android phone though. I have an Iphone W/adapter and I cant get netflix to work. I believe it only will work if your videos or movies our downloaded through I tunes. I have a couple of music vids downloaded from I tunes and they play through the head unit.
