Convert movies for iPhone (iPod too)



I have to admit that every website or blog I went writes about iPhone or at least related to Apple’s product such as iPod. Even magazines are creating huge buzz for iPhone. I see iPhone iPod every time I take bus or mrt in Singapore. Besides listening to music, these people are watch movies or videos with those tiny little screen, which I prefer to watch it at the comfort of my room and big monitor.

iPhone Video Format

Two basic video formats: MPEG-4 [.mp4 and .m4v] and MOV (QuickTime), are supported by iPhone and iPod videos. Converting video files to these formats are easy and all you have to do is to manage the free codecs. There are a lot of video converting programs. But which one is free and the most intuitive to use?

  5. Not bad, but I think Sothink Video Converter is a better choice.

    It supports almost all popular video formats, and can convert videos to iPod, PSP, Zune, 3G mobile videos directly. It’s easy to use, yet powerful!

  6. If you’d like to watch movies on your Iphone, you’ve come to the right place. In order to do this, you have a few different choices and ways to go about it. This is due to the Iphone needing the movies to be stored as MP4s. If you’d like to find out exactly how it’s done, check out this article.

  7. Ripping software varies in price, you can get some decent software for free or you may need to pay up to $50 or so for the better stuff. Run a few simple google searches to find some examples, and you may want to search for “freeware dvd ripper” or something like that to help you find the less expensive stuff. Once you have the ripped files saved as MP4s on your computer, you can transfer them across using Itunes, the way you would any other file.
