Get video off the iPhone 3GS

Copy the video and paste it to an email

On my PC it just appears as a drive under 'My Computer' and I can pull pics and videos off.

iPhoto

Image capture might work also

I use image capture. Drops the file wherever you want it on your HD.

Just use iPhoto.

You can import videos just like you would with any photo. Once the videos are in iPhoto you can then drag them out onto your desktop or anywhere you want them

I went to the Apple tutorials about the iPhone and although they had info on how to take videos, they had none about how to put that video onto your computer.

Do you have a Mobile Me account? I note on my phone that you can send the video there, and from there you should be able to download it to your Mac.

The phone shoots 640x480 but the video is downsized to 480x360 when emailed. Don't know if the same is true for MobileMe or YouTube uploads, but I suspect so. I have a solution under Linux for mounting the iPhone and accessing the full-sized video (iFuse) but a solution under WinXP would also be helpful (I run XP via VMware and the iPhone doesn't show up as a separate drive). Some people have had success with Picasa 3.

iPhoto doesn't compress the video.

I don't know of a solution in Vista, but Apple says to use whatever software you use for your photos.

Btw, if you want them back in your phone after you've deleted them, drag them into iTunes and they show up in the movies/videos tab. They won't sync like photos do.

I like the image capture route for that same reason. And it just seems a little bit more snappy.

Does MobileMe and iPhoto work on PC?

Windows user

I am a Windows XP user...I can't seem to figure out how to get my iPhone vids off the phone and onto my PC.

If I try to email my 1:39 video, iPhone cries that it is too large!!! 1 minute 39 seconds?! Sheeeeeeez!!!!

I have iTunes 9.0 and I see no option to get my videos onto my PC. No, I do not have MobileMe.

Any other ideas?

EDIT: Found the solution....simply go to Windows Explorer and explore the iPhone...it can take up to 30 seconds for the vids and pictures to show up in the screen. Then simply drag and drop the files onto your computer.
