MySpace Mobile Offers Streaming Video

MySpace mobile now offers streaming video. MySpace’s beta mobile video allows users to will view videos they’ve uploaded or have marked as a favorite.

MySpace used RipCode’s On-Demand Video Transcoding technology that supports several different handsets.

Premium content, including branded channels such as TMZ, National Hockey League, National Geographic, The Onion, College Humor, etc., are now available on mobile devices. Because MySpace is transcoding video on-demand, there is no longer need to store the entire MySpace video library in multiple mobile formats, thus saving significant hardware, energy and storage resources.

Accessing and viewing video from mobile devices is a data intensive service. MySpace mobile users are advised to consult their mobile data plan to avoid excessive fees. MySpace mobile video quality, as with all mobile services, is dependent on individual device capabilities as well as network speed and connection.
