iTransmogrify!
iTransmogrify! is a bookmarklet for iPhone which transforms embedded Flash content into direct links to natively supported formats. That means YouTube videos and MP3s can now be played from the iPhone’s Safari web browser with just a few clicks.
Seeing it work is the best explanation:
On an iPhone? Try it now: iTransmogrify! (works in Safari and Firefox too)
Sorry, it took YouTube a long time to re-encode that for iPhone, here’s a baby panda:
Installation
To install the bookmarklet, just drag the link to your Safari or Firefox Bookmarks, IE users should right click and choose “Add To Favorites…” After adding the link, sync your iPhone.
Grab it now: iTransmogrify!
You can also add iTransmogrify from your iPhone!
More information, source code and bug-tracking is available on the iTransmogrify Google Code page.
- Currently supported content:
- Default YouTube Object-Embed code
- YouTube bare Embed
- YouTube bare Object
- A variety of Flash-based MP3 players including Digg Podcasts
Lots more added: iTransmogrify update
Support for other embedded media sites will be added as I figure them out. Please report broken sites or suggest additional sources using Google Code issue tracker.

- Mike West’s Scope in JavaScript was the refresher I needed to resolve one especially annoying object-scope bug.

Also, John Resig’s amazing jQuery JavaScript library. This project was the excuse I’d been looking for to finally dig in and learn it.
The name came from a late-night brainstorming chat with Bruce and was far more fun and interesting than the utilitarian ones I was thinking of. So thank you Bruce, and of course, Bill Watterson.

I tried so many times and it still doesn’t work. I got an iPhone 3G. I am French and I can understand English, but after edit the bookmark what am I suppose to do? Just delete the adress after the “?”
And what else?
Thanks a lot :)
kevinspike, you got it wrong. you must delete the adress before the ?
then, delete the ‘?’ from the adress. that will do it!

You can try imobilecinema which is a plugin flash for your jailbreak iPhone. Cheers!
No entiendo por que despues de añadirlo en los booksmarks , cuando se edita la direción del sitio web esta en el archivo I-Phone .
I have tried to install it, but I don’t get the last step. I tried what it said, and tried it on the site, but it won’t work!!! Help!!!!! I have a 8g itouch
It seems the new 3.0 firmware update for the iTouch has solved the Youtube problem, but this is the only thing I’ve seen to solve the mp3 file problem.
Will this be getting an update anytime soon?
