Quicktime video on iPhone Safari browser?

[mofovo]

I am planning to buy an iPhone soon. I have a quick question.

I know Safari does not have Flash support yet.

Does Safari browser support other video formats such as Quicktime, WMV, etc etc?

Thanks!

Safari works with Apple's movie trailers, that's all I found so far.

The iPhone will stream Quicktime videos in Safari. To my knowledge, WMV is not supported.

actually...

I tried to watch a .mov file embedded on a webpage and it wouldn't load. I tried it over both EDGE and wi-fi connections, but no dice. Last time I checked, .mov files are Quicktime compatible, right? I believe H.264 (the encoding for Apple's iphone-specific movie trailers) is the one and only video format that iPhone's Safari will load currently.

As for videos synced to the iPhone through iTunes, I imagine .m4v or .mp4 will both do fine.

(this is all based on using my friend's iPhone, btw, I haven't gotten my own yet.)

You're probably right. My only experience with QuickTime videos on the iPhone is with the iPhone videos on Apple.com. I suppose I was too hasty to make the assumption...

It plays the iPhone demo vids on the Apple.com site.
