Do any of you make "IPHONE" sized videos?

Do you?

Why?

Could you show me a page that used the Iphone videos. Thanks.

I am thinking that this is a better way then the usual Youtube sized videos for How to Videos...so that they can watch the video before they do it on their IPHONE.

    I don't know how to do it, but what a creative question! I never thought about it until now. I'm looking forward to learning something new.

      I believe the iphone can play 720p videos (I'm not so sure about 1080i).

      Don't mistake the "physical size" of the video for the resolution and remember the iphone/ipad don't do flash.

    • Download speed: Even if your audience is probably going to watch your video on their computer screen rather than an iPhone, 480 pixels by 320 pixels is a good compromise between a size that is too small to show anything useful (like QVGA @ 320 x 240 pixels) and too large to download quickly on a slow connection (like VGA @ 640 x 480). Another 'compromise size' that sits between QVGA and VGA is 512 x 384 pixels, which has an aspect ratio of 4:3.
    • Flexibility: If your audience doesn't want to view the video on their PC but prefers to use their iPhone/iPod Touch, then a resolution of 480 x 320 will fit their screen perfectly.
    • Quality: Recording a screencast with lots of fine detail at, say, 720p and then expecting the iPhone to scale it down will result in the loss of that fine detail. Recording at 480 x 320 from the outset means that the iPhone renders the video as crisply as the screen it was captured from.

    If you type "480x320" into Google Video, you should find something there -- although the video sharing sites tend to scale any submitted video to suit their own Flash player, so it might not appear at 480 x 320 pixels after all...

    Yeah, if your intended audience are iPhone users, then that sounds like a sensible plan...
