How To Convert Videos For Your iPhone (Or Any Mobile Phone!)
Do you want to convert a movie to your mobile phone so you can watch it on the go?
Here is a list of some of the best programs to turn your handset into a portable cineplex!
ConvertTube is a free service that converts online videos to several formats including the MP4 format that you need for Apple devices. Simply paste the video URL from sites like YouTube, Google video, MetaCafe, etc. and select the desired output format.
Downside? The popularity of the site, and the methods of encoding means it takes FOREVER.
Try Vixy if the process is just taking too long for you.
Videora offers an impressive suite of tools for converting and editing videos for free. The video files can be avi, divx, xvid, flv, x264, vob, mpeg, DVDs, YouTube, etc. Any of these videos can be converted into the proper video formats (MPEG-4, H.264) that play on the iPhone 3G.
Here’s Videora’s Video Converter for the 3G iPhone, which does an excellent job changing existing formats of videos you own into the MPEG-4 H.264 format. Their other converters will do the same trick for other devices such as the iPod, Sony Playstation Portable (PSP), Xbox360 and more.
It also takes a long time if your computer is a little on the sluggish side...but good luck!
