Videos on iPhone

Hi,

Got my iPhone 4 16GB today in Coventry, loving it!

I'm new to all this iTunes stuff and am trying to get some videos onto my iPhone. Is there any straight forward way to do this through iTunes and let it convert the videos automatically?

If not, could somebody point me to a program that I can convert my videos with please?

Thanks,
Craig.

Airvideo can covert your videos and more. Youtube it for details then just move it over to your device.

AirVideo is great.. I use it all the time to convert movies so I can watch on the train.

That looks pretty good. Is there any way to convert the videos on my PC first without using the AirVideo app on the iPhone? I've not found a way yet.

Thanks

Handbrake is a decent free program for video conversion.

Well if you're on your pc and have you iPhone on you then you can just go into the app and set it to convert and let your pc do its thing. Also if you're out and about and think 'Oh I must convert to iPhone' then just set it within airvideo and it'll start it on your pc (that is if your pc is on ofcourse).

This.

Quickest and easiest way I've found by far.

There are some other applications that will convert media, videora and imtoo for example. You can set batch jobs to be converted for viewing on the iphone/ipod and let it run. Once converted to the appropriate format just load them into itunes.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I've gone with HandBrake for now, seems to be the quickest and easiest to use

Thanks
Craig.
