Convert movies and undercook eggs on the iPhone

Maybe this could be useful for converting VoiceNotes into different formats? And, once we can record video, converting it into more web-compatible formats... like FLV.

Very cool.

The thing that would make sense here is, a Safari plugin *based on* ffmpeg (which is at the base of VLC, MPlayer, etc) to play back most other formats than what Apple supports by them selves.

That and a local filesystem plugin, but I think there is one of those around already? Hope I'll be able to jailbreak my 16 GB Touch soon...

Just saying but Erica Sudan seems like she should be working for apple. She is mad iphone genius.

OMG you should check out the installer. New app called MX Tube v 1.0 stable. First ever native youtube downloader for iphone and it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats all.

C'mon, some of the things they're trying to get the iPhone to do now are just silly.

BitTorrent on the thing was bad enough, but now we want to convert video on it; sheesh, that's just ridiculous.

Just because the thing is a "computer in your pocket" doesn't mean we should use it for everything a computer does.

Video conversion on my 3 Ghz Quad Core Mac Pro with 11gb ram takes a painfully long amount of time...I can't imagine how slow it will be on 412mhz processor like the iPhone.

I prefer cooking my eggs on the bottom of my Macbook Pro. I start up Final Cut Studio or DVD Studio Pro, start some heavy duty rendering activity, flip the Macbook Pro over and scramble away!

If you have to have your iPhone plugged in and it takes forever, that seems to mean you're going to not only be at a power source but be there for a long time. Wouldn't a laptop (or desktop for that matter) be a more practical option at that point?

You want to talk about running hot? I tethered mine so I could surf the web on my laptop. It was shockingly fast on EDGE. I was surfing and downloading to my hearts content. but then I got a call and I picked up my phone. I stuck the skin between my thumb and forefinger right to the apple logo on the back(the metal one). While it did not do any permanent damage it certainly "left its mark". My buddy is an Apple hater and he saw my inflamed apple scarification and thought that my "fanboyism" had reached a new low. So careful everybody, unless you dig corporate branding, wear gloves if you use this.(I was not branded, but I dropped the phone very quickly)

Hey is there a reason why something like VLC can't be ported, that seems much more useful then something like this.
