Are there limitations for playing video over wifi/3G on the iPhone?

Question

I have an app that is playing archived *.mov files from a server. Some of them are longer than 10 minutes. Is this ok? Can anyone point me to the guidelines for playing video?

Requirements for Apps: If your app delivers video over cellular networks, and the video exceeds either 10 minutes duration or 5 MB of data in a five minute period, you are required to use HTTP Live Streaming. (Progressive download may be used for smaller clips.)

If your app uses HTTP Live Streaming over cellular networks, you are required to provide at least one stream at 64 Kbps or lower bandwidth (the low-bandwidth stream may be audio-only or audio with a still image).

These requirements apply to apps submitted for distribution in the App Store for use on Apple products. Non-compliant apps may be rejected or removed, at the discretion of Apple.
