[MCN-L] iPhone Media Conversion Tip
Hello, There are a lot of museums considering or are in the development stages of creating iPhone apps for social media or existing web sites. I would guess at least 90% of existing media content including podcasts and online videos are not currently compatible for streaming on iPhones. So if you didn't already know video files need to be in MPEG-4 H.264 format. Here is a great article about different systems that can convert existing media for free to MPEG-4 H.264 format: http://bit.ly/museum-media-conversion I hope this helps.
