Why Apple Win the Mobile Video Format War

The mobile video space has begun to consolidate. In early November 2011, Adobe announced it would stop developing its Flash Player for mobile devices (read: Android). Going forward, HTML5 will be the only method to play back video on mobile phones and tablets.

This is a big win for Apple, the company to most strongly oppose Flash over the last few years. The company is indeed beginning to dictate the industry’s future. In addition to defeating Flash in the battle for video playback, Apple continues to innovate with its H.264 codec, since WebM is still nowhere to be found.

The company has also taken the lead in video streaming. Apple’s homegrown streaming protocol, HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), has always been the one and only way to stream content to iDevices. Now, due to the popularity of iOS, many tool vendors and even competing platforms are starting to support it too.

Playback and Encoding

According to Adobe, Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) will be the last mobile platform to use a Flash plugin. The OS is launching without one, though. Given Flash’s terrible track record with mobile, it wouldn’t be surprising if it never arrives. Therefore, video publishers should ensure their Android video works in HTML5.

In terms of encoding, the H.264 codec is baked into the CPU of every single mobile phone today, while WebM is still confined to a software-only (and non-HTML5) implementation on some Android devices. Google is working on hardware, but the path from reference designs to phone integration, and eventually market share, is a long one.

Until WebM hardware decoding is supported by a decent slice of mobile devices, video publishers will continue to focus on H.264. Seeing this, Google continues to support H264 in Chrome, despite announcing that it would drop it almost a year ago. For all intents and purposes, H.264 is the baseline codec for HTML5 video at present.


The Apple Standard

For the foreseeable future, we’ll watch our mobile video the Apple way: HTML5 embedded, H.264 encoded and HLS streamed. Any platform seeking broad support for quality video (Windows Phone?) must implement HLS. And any publisher seeking mobile viewers must encode in H.264, embed using HTML5 and stream using HLS.

Is this a bad thing? Quite the contrary. The alternative is fragmentation: multiple plugins, multiple codecs and multiple protocols. This is an annoyance for large media corporations; it increases their development and delivery costs. However, it’s disastrous for smaller video publishers, since the companies lack the resources to build and support multi-platform video delivery. Ultimately, that is a detriment to mobile video. Like the web in general, mobile video thrives on broad availability of a wide variety of content.

A more open set of standards (WebM and DASH) should come in time. For now though, Apple is the standard.

Methods to Play WAV Videos on iPhone

So you have a WAV file that you'd like to play on the go, but you don't know if your iPhone will support the file. There is a way, but it isn't as conventional as you might think. If you'd like to learn about playing WAV files on your iPhone then this is the article for you.

Intro to the WAV File Format

WAV is a file format for audio files within the Windows operating system. There are ways to make the file play within the Macintosh and Linux operating systems, but for the most part the file is more common within Windows. WAV stands for Waveform Audio File Format and is actually short for WAVE. This file format is typically used for uncompressed and raw audio. The equivalent to the WAV file format on a Macintosh computer is the AIFF format commonly used within the program iTunes.

What File Formats does the iPhone support?

The iPhone uses a program known as iTunes to manage the songs on it. It typically plays music in the MP3, AIFF, and AAC formats. These are the only audio formats that the iTunes program will allow to be put on the iPhone.

Method #1: Play the WAV File as it is.

The iPhone will not play WAV files natively, but when Apple released the 1.11 update, some support for this audio format was added to the iPhone's firmware. In order to play WAV files, they must be attached to an email that the iPhone downloads. This is much the same way as the iPhone opens a Powerpoint or Word document. You have to email it to yourself, or have it emailed to you. Either way, the iPhone has to have your email set up to be downloaded through the mail application that comes with the iPhone. You can set up your email accounts with the mail application by opening "Settings > Mails, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account." After tapping on "Add Account," you simply select your email provider, enter in your username and password, and click "Save." The iPhone will then start downloading emails from that service provider. When it downloads the email that contains the WAV file as an attachment that you'd like play, it will have the attachment listed at the bottom of the email. You need only tap it once, and it will download and play the WAV file within the email.

Method #2: Convert the WAV File with iTunes.

Import your WAV file into iTunes by clicking on "File > Add File to Library." Then you find that song in the library and click on it once. After that, click on "Advanced > Create AAC Version." This will convert your WAV file to the AAC file format. When it is finished, you will see two copies of your song. Delete the WAV version, and you can add the AAC version of your song (which is an exact duplicate, nothing will have changed but the format it is in) to your iPhone, by dragging it to your iPhone on the left side of the screen. You will then be able to play your WAV file by opening the music player on your iPhone and finding the title of your WAV file. It will play the same, but it is now an AAC file, this is an audio format the iPhone natively supports.
