avi's videos to iphone 3gs?

lloydsj · 5 Jul 2009 at 10:03

Hi,

I've just got a 3gs and figured i wanted to put some of my avi's on it.

Does the iphone only support mp4?
Is handbrake the best app to convert the avi's on OSX?
If so, do i need to change any settings in handbrake to get the best out of it? or is it just select source, select destination, mp4, go.
Also, in handbrake is there a way to batch convert? as it seems i have to go through each file individually and add to queue.

I'm new to iphone's so have no idea. I searched on here, but didn't really find much.

Cheers.

There is a preset in handbrake for iphone/pod so you dont have to worry about settings, the only form of batch convert is a queuing option, you cant select a folder to convert as such, just add individual files to the queue and set it going and leave it.

Hope that helps.

What is the best (free) option for converting on PC?

I was using Super but now using Handbrake, with Super I used to get the odd video with sound out of sync.

You can put the film into iTunes, ctrl click on it and there is an option to create iPod or iPhone version.

It's soooooo slow though. It's painful, honestly.

In handbrake, when converting for the iphone, I select "iphone ipod touch" in the presets then encode. Can I tweak the settings any further for enhanced quality?
