I have converted many movies for playback on my droid but have run out of memory... is there any way that i can stream them over 3G to my droid. My computer is a MacBook Pro and I am using snow leopard.

The streaming will work if you set up some form of web server (apache) on your mac

You have to make sure that the "faststart" quicktime atom is enabled though (probably need quicktime pro for that, I have no idea for trick on a MAC to enable it)

The problem you will run into is that if you stream from home, your internet connections UPLOAD speed is the limit. Eventhough you might have a 100Mbps connection, your upload speed is usually significantly lower, so you will have to adjust the quality settings of your video files to match.

I have a 3mbit internet connection, but my upload speed is only 768kbps. this 768 is directly tied to the file quality. if I create video files of 600kbps video and 128kbps audio (total 728kbps) I have a little bandwidth to spare for connection inconsistencies. If I would stream a 1000kbps / 128kbps video file (1128kbps) the movie would be buffering for about 1/3rd of its entire duration, making a 2 hour movie almost 3 hours.
