With VLC Streamer you can stream movies stored on your computer, directly to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. All you need is the free server application. Setup is a snap and literally takes 2 seconds. You can browse through all your movies from your device and click any one to start playing. It even works if you have the movies stored on a USB drive connected to the host computer. However, there is a grey bar that appears on top of the video when playing in full screen mode.
This oddity doesn’t appear in a competing app, Air Video — although Air Video is $2.99 while VLC Streamer is only $0.99. VLC streamer also has a free, ad-supported version available.
