Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?

Justin how do you know they'll play fine on the device if they aren't already on the device?

The developer of the video compression software I use reported that the iPhone 3GS is capable of playing high profile video files that are not accepted by iTunes.

I'd ask the developer if and how he got the videos
on the iPhone. Without knowing more
it sounds like they are saying the hardware is capable of handling those videos, which doesn't necessarily mean they will work on the phone. A while back it was reported that a developer had gotten the 3gs to run 720p video. Yes, the hardware can handle that, but the firmware on the phone doesn't allow it yet so it's really a moot point. From your post that may be the issue here

There is a video on YouTube of a iPhone 3GS playing 1080p. Not that it is that useful on a smaller screen. I found a application called Air Sharing that looks to be exactly what I'm looking for. I'll try it and report back if anyone is interested. Obviously I know this isn't that useful because of the space and battery a HD movie would consume but I'm a geek and would love to see it work.

I think it is fair to guess the developer may have a "broken" phone. Which without stirring up any controversy about whether braking is good or bad, if you have done the 3.0.3 update, this is truly a moot point.

Much like other things that can be done on the Iphone, it can't be done in the parameters of Apple.
