What's the best way to play video in an iOS app? I'm woking on an iPad app and need to play video in the app... I thought there were some issues with this - so what's the recommended method?

You can play H.264 either by navigating to the url to get the native player to play it, or by using stagewebview. If you want it to be more typically integrated into Flash, then use FLVs, and play them like you normally would. If you use AIR 2.7 it will even play well!

Thanks Colin. I just installed the 2.7 SDK and tested an app I've been working on. Much, much better performance on CPU! Actually seems faster than GPU on 2.6.

Anyway, so if I would use FLV's, which would be great, can I just play them like normal with a NetStream and keep them external?

Some have argued that netstream is the best performing way, but I've had good results with FLVPlayback too. You can't use the fancy controller, but you can use the other video components, or make your own controls. Just set the controller to None in the Property Inspector.
