Do Amazon Movies work on Evo?

[Beezzy]

Basically what the title says. Can I download those "Movies on Demand" from Amazon to work on my Evo?

Just tested on Eclair- no go, "This type of flash content is not supported."

I'll try it in FroYo and see if it works there with 10.1

Okay, well it works (kinda) in FroYo with flash 10.1 beta 3. Everything loads fine, all the controls work, even full screen works- but the video is super choppy- totally unwatchable. Audio is fine though.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully that changes soon. I wanna watch Vids on my phone.

Yea, I'm cautiously optimistic about Flash. Every beta has improved performance, but phone hardware can only do so much- flash is really hardware intensive and phone GPU/CPUs can only do so much.

Time will tell.

couldn't you download the videos to your computer and then put them on your sd card? just a thought. i have some videos i've been wanting to download and try but i have a mac and it says you need a pc. :/

Not without stripping the DRM off them :-/

Video on Demand will allow you to load a movie onto a portable device a very limited number of times, but the device list is unfortunately very pathetic. Here's the device list. Just to save time, wince before clicking on the link....
