It is the only one I have tried so far, but Azul is just amazing. It seems to play EVERY file type I throw at it. Completely recommened.![]()

oh yeah! i have read lots of reviews bout azul player. and most people said that this movie player app for iPad is really great, can view to different types of file and it is very user friendly.. good thing I've scanned iPad App Review, and now I'm enjoying watching HD movies using this cool application.
And also, aside from azul, there are bunch of iPad apps for viewing movies also that were as great as azul. And even better, if you are a good researcher..![]()
Just for info, I also use airplayer. If you have a dlna server on you network, it will allow you to stream photos, music and videos straight to your iPad. No conversion needed (supports lots of formats) and no need to copy the file locally either. Streaming even high quality content through wifi so far has produced no issues for me.Originally Posted by acemenace
I use an aero-lite USB NAS dongle with an old 250gb USB hard disk attached to it to serve the content and it works perfectly. Was about 20 quid on eBay (made by sumvision). If you need to go truly mobile you can always FTP direct to the iPad, or use filebrowser, since the dongle also presents the dlna folders (optionally) as FTP server or samba shares. Oh, it's a bittorrent client as well
If you want any more info, just pm me.

Killman, How are you throwing these files at Azul? I can only get the Azul "Homepage" trailers to download. If I go to any other site and try to "Force" the download, I seem to be getting empty files in the Download folder. I must be missing something.Originally Posted by Killman

I use Atomic Web Browser or dropbox. Atomic is a great duo app with Azul.Originally Posted by info
I download the file that I want, then I just open in Azul, it creates a new copy of the file in the app.

Thanks. I have Atomic (like it a lot, but am using iCabMobile much more these days). Can you give me an example of one of these video files (a location) and how to download it with Atomic. I tried, but wasn't able to get the video into the iPad. I've pressed on the link to the video, the video itself, but I don't see filenames to download.Originally Posted by Killman
Where are you trying to get the file from?Originally Posted by info

Well, I went to CNBC, then YouTube and couldn't get anything; but, I just want to see how the process works (how to download the file). I tried both Azul and Atomic unsuccessfully.Originally Posted by Killman
For YouTube, this is what I do. Go to Zimzar.com, copy the address of the YouTube video, paste into the bar on Zimzar, select the file type, put in your Email, then the file will upload. Once it's uploaded, you can do whatever until the conversion is done, which doesn't take long at all. Check your email and you should have an email from them. Click the link to the download page, hit download now. It will take you to a blank page. Copy the address of that page, go to downloads in Atomic, click new download, paste the address and name the video whatever WITH the correct file extension at the end, the file type that you chose earlier, then hit save. Once it is download, hit the arrow, click open in external app and pick Azul. Bingo. I may have made this sound much harder than what it is, it is actually quite simple. This strategy may work with other video sites as well but it works great for YouTube.Originally Posted by info

Here are some shots I took to strengthen my explanation.
