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?
