CANADA? eh?
i have some videos(like 4-8mins long) and i want to convert them so i can put as many as i can in like 200mb of iphone space i have left

what is the best free program?
what settings are the best? (it doesnt have to be 640x480?)
 
I would have to reccommend SUPER. It pretty much can convert anything, not just for iPhones or iPods.
 
I have hand brake but its kinda confusing. can you please give some directions ? thanx :apple:
 
I use Visual Hub and DAMN is it fast. I have done a two hour movie in ~20 minutes. That, just in case you don't know, is damn fast. We're talking 700 MB conversion. Visual Hub, B E A UTIFUL.

yeah its a tie between hand brake and isquint. I use isquint for the videos I rip from you tube and hand brake for my old DVDs
 
In my opinion it doesn't get any better than Handbrake.

You select your "Source" = The actual DVD, browse to it.
You select your "Preset" = iPhone/iPod touch preset.
You select which chapters = Usually 1 through 30 or so, however many chapters your dvd has.

You push start. It works great! I don't use anything else. I have about 100 iPhone/iPod ready movies that I've ripped using Handbreak.
 
What if I dont have it in DVD, but just downloaded it from internet in a rmvb file? tells me "no valid source found"

thanks for helping me out

@eric - download all the listed gentleman's gave.. its free, and try it one by one.....
 
I noticed that no one has mentioned Videora iPhone Converter by Red Kawa. As a PC user it is the best, though to rip DVD's you do need another program. But for video's I already have it is the best as there are no limitations (basically the free version IS the full version).

I tried a lot for converters and for me Handbrake is the BEST. For PC or Mac, I'm using both.
 
MPEG Streamclip is very good for converting videos already on your computer. It has an iPhone preset. For DVDs use Handbrake.
 
ditto Handbrake

The latest version is great and the price doesn't get any better.:)

I have a PC (unfortunately) and also use this. It works very well. I do have handbrake also.
 
HandBrake is the "standard" of sorts for ripping DVDs. That's not what the original question was about, though.

iSquint works great for most people. It's free, simple, fast, and works well.

VisualHub is the pay version of iSquint. If you're going to spend $20 - and you might as well if you'll be converting a lot of videos - it's the app to get. Just as simple and friendly, but with tons more options.
