Surely, if the ipad/pod et al people view things through the Internet, IE Vimeo and Youtube etc, the server detects the browser and corrects it for the viewer? When I got to 'keepvid' (dot com), there are usually a few options for download, more when its HD, less when its 'lofi' in the first place, presumably because of handheld and lower spec devices out there. Not what we are asking, I know, but might be worth looking into how Youtube et al aggregate everything into one page for so many devices.
Its ironic that you need to activate the license for Apple QT when using HD in the first place, yet it just doesn't want to play ball.... Neil.
