Transferring some videos stored on the PC / Mac to iPad and iPhone can definitely add more fun to our life. However, it is always a time-consuming task to convert the video file to H.264 or MPEG-4 and sync the video files via
iTunes.That is why video streaming apps are developed for streaming video from your computer to iPad /iphone directly. Here we have selected three most popular video streaming apps for you to choose.
Air Playit
Air Playit is an innovative and free video streaming app to stream the video files from the computer to Apple device over WiFi and 3G/4G network. Air Playit offers smooth live conversion of the file, thereby omits the need of
third-party video converting software or syncing process. Just tap and watch any video on the go! It stands out among the three software with the built-in 320 video audio codecs to stream video/audio in almost any format.
The highlight feature of Air Playit is that it empowers users to download the multimedia files to the device and watch them without network connection. What is unique, this video streaming app for iPad iPhone supports
streaming iTunes DRM videos for users to watch the DRM-protected videos downloaded from iTunes Store in real time without taking space. Compared with the other two video streaming apps, Air Playit is built with HTTP
server for users to access the video playlist via any web browser. Meanwhile, Air Playit supports TV-Out so that you can stream video/music to TV via your iPhone iPad.

Air Video
Air Video is capable of streaming video library to iPad, iPhone over local network and 3G, including both the video folders on the hard drive and iTunes playlist for different users’ need. It also performs the conversion "on-
the-fly" for users to watch the video in real time. A pity is that this video streaming software for iPad iPhone does not supports streaming audio/music from computer to the iOS device, besides, it is claimed on Apple store that
this video streaming software for iPad iPhone will not play DRM protected videos.
StreamToMe
StreamToMe is a media player application for Macs and iOS devices that plays video, music and photo files (in a wide variety of formats) streamed over the network from another Mac or PC. Like the above two apps, it
requires no prior conversion or syncing, just tap the file and it plays on the iOS device. This video streaming app for iPad/iPhone would be more perfect if it is able to support streaming DRM-protected video to the iOS device.
If you prefer spend no money in streaming videos or want to stream the video files purchased from iTunes store, you had better try the free Air Playit.
