Vimeo videos in iPhone app

Answer 1

It appears that vimeo is transcoding all videos being uploaded these days into versions compatible for the iphone which are used on their site when you browse from an iphone or ipad. You can however call their videos into an HTML5 player on your site by doing some simple tricks found here. If you can host a page on your site somewhere, you can load the video into a UIWebView and it should all work. Vimeo's only limitation is that there embed code is flash but the video infrastructure is all there for HTML5. Hope this helps!
