I've seen comments that you have to use the default video program on the iphone for this. However, would this work with the new Disney movies app?

No, only the air play app on iPhone will work. I tried to use amazon video, and it didn't work.

Not sure about that app but I've used it for Netflix and the old YouTube app.

Well, I don't have the Disney movie app, and other than the official video app I tried with youtube and it didn't work, but for me that is not a problem because I buy or rent the movies in the apple store.

I hate mp4 format...I agree completely; that's the one thing that has kept me from buying any Apple device...I don't want everything in my audio library converted and not be able to play it on other systems. This is proprietary warfare and I'm not bowing down to Apple...

only if you have your own software that will do that. It does not come with what is in this box. We separately downloaded the suggested program, but still have not figured out how to save the videos the kids make to view on our Mac system, let alone add sound to them. Very disappointed.

No and no. Must put movie files on SD card. I just downloaded a bunch of old Disney Mickey Mouse, Chip and Dale, Goofy from the 30s and 40s and my kids loved it. Very weak battery though. Don't really need it anymore with YouTube, hulu, and Netflix on your smart phone.

But does it work with Netflix? The Netflix app apparently doesn't have the ability to output video in iphones 3 and older , but that theoretically it should with the iphone 4. Anyone know?

I have it, I bought it because I remember reading something about it working with a mac but i tried it today and it doesn't work and i have a new macbook pro. i tried to copy an old vhs tape and the mac didn't recognize it and either did imovie or roxio.

Yes, you have to plug it in at the right time though. Can't remember exactly off the top of my head but I believe you plug the cord into the phone before you launch videos app. Could be the other way around. One way tells you it's incompatable. Alsoake ire the video is formatted to watch in a tv. :) good luck

Yes it does if you using the safari. There are couple apps that don't work . But if you trying to watch from safari it does work . Hope that helped

Glad to know that purchased videos work on the X-Fi. They did *not* work on the X-Fi Style that I bought, so I returned that one. Has anyone tried hooking the X-Fi to an external video screen? Any comments on how best to do that? If it's easy and inexpensive enough, I might try the X-Fi.Thanks, - Ted

I downloaded and installed the app and it seems to work. I'm not a Hulu Plus member, so I couldn't watch the videos, but the app loaded fine and lets me scroll through the videos. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried video. Audio with great with the IPOD. Not the new pin but the previous model.

I loaded a set of 30 mp4 ( M4V) versions of my HD travelogues to my local EX4 and they play nicely on Apple TV via my iPad mini. Our second EX4 server is 350 miles away in my son's house. I can up- and download with no problem but have not been able to stream to TV in real time. We both have FIOS service and the movies play on my iPad, so it should work on TV, if we get the buffering right.

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.

Mine did the same thing. I gave a negative review for that reason and Amazon deleted the review. If you put your iPhone in flight mode some of the videos will work, some will still not. The Seller wanted me to download a program that would require me to jailbreak my phone. I was not down with that. Then the seller sent me another cable because of the negative review. It worked the same as the first.

I returned my device .. it actually did not work at all. However, I think you can transfer pretty much any file, as a download, the question is, can a MKV file even be played by a player on an iPad? I think there is a version of VLC for the iPad, and the PC version of VLC plays MKV files. I wish I knew more, but the device did not work for me ...

It doesnt shoot in an odd codec it uses H.264 High Profile, apple does NOT support the High profile, only main and baseline. You would have to use an encoder and re-encode it to get it to play on your Ipad

No. Apple phones require "Apple's Lightning Digital AV Adaptor" since they compress the video and do not follow the MHL standard. Even if they did, this specific adapter is crap and only works sometimes on phones that SHOULD support it.
