Watch And Download Online Videos On Your Mobile

You must have enjoyed videos from MetaCafe and YouTube. What if you want to watch these clips on your mobile? While there are a number of mobile video search options, including Veveo’s vTap and AOL’s Truveo, they all share a common weakness: In order to make videos play on specific phones, they have to pre-encode them in the right formats. Because of the myriad range of carriers, varying connection speeds, and media players, this makes widespread compatibility an obstacle. (YouTube, for example, had to re-encode its vast collection in h.264 to get it to work with the iPhone.)

Vuclip’s technology, on the other hand, has no need to pre-encode. When you select a video, it analyzes the characteristics of your phone — everything from your carrier and the ideal transmission speed for your connection to the size of the screen — and adjusts the video for optimal playback. This ability gives it access to a potentially wider range of videos, and significantly reduces its data storage costs.

It also enables Vuclip to make it fast and cheap for video content sites to offer their content on the mobile web, and the company is releasing an application programming interface (API) to do just that.

The best thing of all, this service is completely free and you do not have to install any thing on your mobile.

Try it here!!!
