iphone 4 video upload compression

i have an app that uploads some video through an http POST command to a server. on the iPhone 4 (and possibly the 3GS) when the user uploads a 34 second 开发者_StackOverflow社区video a little thing pops up at the bottom of the screen and says that the video is being compressed. probably for faster upload. problem being is that the server guy says he can't uncompress the videos on the server end. this is causing problems when someone tries to view the videos. on the iphone 4 they look compressed when viewed and on my 2nd gen iTouch the videos don't play at all.

so the question is can i turn off the compression on my end? or can i suggest something to the server guy to uncompress them on his end?

turns out if you FTP the files to the server instead of using HTTP POST the video files arrive just fine without that ugly compression people have been complaining about.
