An interesting thought – why rip movies and put them on the iPhone, eating up valuable storage, when I can put them on a Web server and stream them? I took a game trailer (Ninja Gaiden 2, coming to XBOX 360) and converted to MPEG4 and 3GP. The original 960×540 weighed in at 24.3MB; the h.264 came in at 6.59MB, and the 3GP conversion at 628kb. The visual quality between the h.264 and 3GP movies is quite noticeable.

(Edit: Some browsers will choke on the 3GP file, as they don’t know how to handle them.)
