Verizon's VCast service, which debuted Feb. 1, can deliver video clips, TV content and 3-D games to mobile phones in Verizon's broadband network.

(InfoWorld) - On Thursday afternoon at the D: All Things Digital show, RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser demoed a new version of RealPlayer, to be released as a beta in June, that adds the ability to download video that's normally available only as a stream from Web sites and save it to your hard drive for later playback in RealPlayer. There's nothing earth-shaking about that -- utilities like KeepVid and the Firefox extension Video Downloader have offered similar functionality for quite awhile. But Real is aiming for something close to universal compatibility: It says its feature will work with video in Flash, QuickTime, Windows Media, and its own Real formats. And the mere fact that such a widely-used program is offering this capability may make it more mainstream. Sometime after the initial release, Glaser said, it'll follow up with a version that allows you to sync the videos you've downloaded onto an iPod. Walt Mossberg asked Glaser a question that I wondered about instantly myself: Is this all legal? Glaser said that Real respects DRM if it's there and won't let you download copy-protected video. As for non-protected video, he said that Real takes no stance -- it's up to the user to ensure that he or she is using the product for legal purposes. In other words, I'm still not sure whether it's kosher to download and preserve, say, a copyrighted clip from YouTube. But the chances that anyone will come after you if you're only doing it for personal use are presumably slim. Real's implementation of this idea looked slick in the demo: When it finds a video it can save, a little button appears over the video window. Click on it, and you can download. If you're one of those people who thinks of RealPlayer as a program that's hard to download and install and that mucks up your system in various ways, the new version may still be worth investigating: Glaser says getting and using it will be a smoother process, although he didn't provide details. To be fair to Real, its current version is already no more irritating than a heck of a lot of other free applications.

(InfoWorld) - Apple announced Wednesday that its promised software update to the Apple TV has been released; the update enables Apple TV users to watch video from the popular YouTube Web site. What's more, Apple revealed that when the iPhone ships on June 29, it will include a special YouTube viewing application too. YouTube is one of the most popular sites on the Web for watching user-generated video content; the site is owned by Google. The company has also reached content partnership deals with leading providers like CBS, BBC, Universal Music Group, and others. The new Apple TV software, available for download through the Apple TV's software update feature, enables users to navigate YouTube to look for videos; YouTube members can log in to their accounts on Apple TV as well. YouTube is in the process of encoding videos using H.264, the advanced video codec built into QuickTime 7 that enables higher-quality video to be streamed over the Internet at lower bit rates. The iPhone will be the first mobile device to use those H.264-encoded videos, according to Apple. More than 10,000 videos are expected to be available in H.264 format on June 29; YouTube will be adding more each week, and the company will have its full catalog available in H.264 by this fall. Last weekend, YouTube somewhat surreptitiously launched its Mobile site at m.youtube.com. The site is xHTML-optimized for mobile phones, which must have built-in video streaming capabilities (RTSP/3GP with H263/AMR) to take advantage of it. It also supports video uploading from mobile phones via MMS. Gadget site Gizmodo just spent some time testing out the new site using two 3G phones over Sprint's EVDO network. Among their findings (which they chronicled in their own video that's now live on their site): * Videos must still be uploaded from the phone via SMS, not the site itself * Streamed videos can't be downloaded and saved * The large video files will be both a big drain on battery life and too big for the iPhone's EDGE network. InfoWorld blogger Stephanie Bruzzese contributed to this report.
