movie files from harddrive to iphone4

chiefwiggum

could someone please explain to me in the simplest form:o how to do this please
i have gigs and gigs of tv shows on my harddrive in dvdrip form(im pretty sure) that i would love to get on to my phone for viewing in bed /on the move
ppl told me about a couple of converter things but they never seem to work for me or im not using them right:o
appreciate any help thanks

Air video is great you just download from the app store and download the server for your pc and you can watch your videos straight away as they re converted on the fly and you dont need to store them on the iPhone either
I know this works great through wifi but I'm not sure if you could watch them while out and about

sounds good alright but i would still like to have some on the actual phone..im going to look into your suggestion aswell

Convert them to the preset iPhone 4 format in Handbrake, import them into iTunes, then you can just select them to sync to your iPhone.

i tried handbrake but didnt seem to work for me..i'll try again as i could be doing something wrong

You can just change the files to mp4 then just side click them and press open in itunes, or drag them to itunes

chiefwiggum

yeah with handbrake its something to do with destination path or something? any ideas?

Download cinexplayer. Add the files to the app on iTunes. Hey presto. Anything you want on the phone.

I use Vuze for this it's free & it converts all media types and loads it to your itunes

Not got it in front of me but as far as I can remember from last time I used Handbrake, you just select your source file, click on iPhone 4 preset (right hand side of window), then click start.
It will save the converted (ie in mp4 format) file to the same folder as the original avi file.

Just install an App like Oplayer. It plays divx/xvid files without any problems.
No need to convert files.
