HI. I would like to convert video files to a format that can be played on the
iPhone. I have some movies copied from a dvd and would like to convert it to
mp4 in order to put it on an iPhone.

Hope this makes sense?

Hello Maria and all:

I do not know if anyone has attempted to answer your question. If so, my
apologies for arriving late.

Let me begin by answering your second question first. If you have a mac … and
I am guessing that you do, you can use the onboard converter on the mac if
you are wanting to perform simple conversions of files such as converting a
file to play on your mac or if you desire to convert a file given to you into
audio only. if you are desiring to convert dvd files … for example … into
audio … you will need something like handbreak. so, before I start wandering
down the path of way way way too much information, did you have an idea of
what types of files you were considering converting?

Answering your second question sets up this answer. VLC plays pretty much any
file … which I am certain you know already. so, it will play quicktime files
which traditionally are mac files and it will play windows media files as
well. if you have files on your computer that you want to stream to your
phone … you can obtain the vlc streaming app and play files on your computer
which will stream to your phone.

again, this might sound confusing to you … it would be confusing to me
without my first cup of tea :). if it does, again, some clarity may come from
it if you could provide an example of what you would like to do.

If any of this information proves useful, please let us know. And, if not,
please let us know as well :).

take good care and I wish you enough.
