MySpace has partnered with RipCode to give mobile users access to MySpace videos. The content will be available at MySpace’s mobile site, m.myspace.com, which currently generates around 3 billion monthly page views from 10 million users.
Video will work on the iPhone, T-Mobile G1, BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Storm devices, among others. All user uploaded videos (meaning videos that a user has uploaded, as opposed to all videos uploaded by all users) and most premium content will be available.
The new feature will use RipCode’s on demand video transcoding service. Videos are transcoded only when requested, into whatever combination of codecs, bit rates and resolutions an individual handset requires.
YouTube has offered similar functionality at m.YouTube.com since early this year.
and that should be interesting because ?
you know most myspace user are kids who don’t have iphone or g1 !
This is huge. Will it also support video delivered through MySpace’s Primetime App?
the premium content will be available, although the app will only work with phones that support it.
yeah thats not so good!
You sure about that? Hulu content isn’t available on mobile yet – that is a large part of MySpaceTV Primetime. Or is Hulu content going mobile soon? Much different rights & clearances involved in that…
Is RipCode a new company?
yeeeee
300 page views per user per month? Seems a little high doesnt it?
Sweet!!

Personally I haven’t seen any kids between 12-14 yrs old carrying gadgets like I-phone but there might be some spoil brats who would love this application.
As far as people like me are concerned I’m not at all excited

Am I the only one who finds this line reaaaly confusing? “All user uploaded videos (meaning videos that a user has uploaded, as opposed to all videos uploaded by all users) and most premium content will be available.”
What video’s are not user uploaded but are uploaded by all users? Aren’t the video’s uploaded by all users all uploaded by a user? Or are only your own video’s available?
If you add any MySpace video to your My Favorites section, it can be viewed on MySpace Mobile. All videos can be viewed except some of the premium content with restrictions on it.
we’ve been streaming movie, tv, game and DVD trailers for the past 18 mos. This is nothing new.

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Great info!
