Does anyone have any good recommendations for apps that do this and DO NOT need to download the video first?

I have found Audiogalaxy to do this with music but would like an app to do this with video ....

Thanks.

So you're asking for something that will let you watch a video on your phone, connected to your computer? And the computer hasnt downloaded the file all the way yet? The only way to do that is to set up your computer as a server. You would need to make a code for the front end that communicates with the phone, and accepts commands from the phone. Then you will need a back end code to encode the video on-the-fly to h264. And of course you will need to develop an app for the android to interface with this.

check VLC.. This may help..

VideoLAN - VLC media player - Open Source Multimedia Framework and Player

Which will play just about any file format on PC (and rather small footprint and my viewer of choice) has some options in Market for Remote operation, streaming, and converting to format suitable fro phone.

VideoLAN - The cross-platform streaming solution

That shoud get you some info on its streaming capabilities.

Thanks I will check out VLC .... the only other app I discovered since the post was Gmote which seems to play videos fine using Rockplayer.
