Lee, have you tried OPlayer?
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

There's a lite version that's free that you might want to test out first.

one of the best features of AVPlayer is wifi transfers. makes things even easier to transfer over.

Can AVPlayerHD access files on my network drive? I have all my videos connected to hard drive on aiport base station. I currently use Air Video, but that needs a host computer to act as a video server. Which is fine, as it uses very little processing. But I'd really love an app that I can say "look in this folder on the airport and play this file"!

It looks like what it does is get the file from your computer and copy it to the ipad. it does not accept streaming.
You can put in an ftp address, but you will still need to copy files from the ftp address to the ipad.
I think Air Video might continue to be your best solution.
