.AVI to IPhone Conversion Software Poll

I use mpeg streamclip to convert my avi files and it is working very well
My 190ish MB anime episodes are getting cut down to only 89MB or so, so I'm
able to fit a lot of episodes on my 8GB iPhone now. I just encode them at 480x320 at half quality and they look absolutely fantastic, and have very small file sizes

THanks for the info....I'm currently trying to get Mpeg Streamclip to convert more than 2 minutes worth of video.....any idea what could be going on???
When I load the file it only shows the first 2 mins of my 30 min video and then only converts that same 2 min??? How can I get the whole file??? Is it some setting I need to change???
Thanks

is that because of some trial version>>>?? can your mac normally play avi files? from memory u need quicktime pro...
not sure what could be causing that problem.
What kind of video file is your source? Does it play correctly in the preview window of MPEG streamclip? Particularly for more than 2 minutes?
What settings are you trying to use? These questions should help us figure out what is going wrong
settings
I'm using the settings that come standard for mpeg streamclip??? which ones should i be using??
The video I'm trying to convert is a 30 min tv show in .avi format that plays fine in VLC but for some reason when I load it in Mpeg streamclip it only shows the first 2 mins???
any ideas???
thanks

try opening it in quicktime first, do you have pro>?> i think this is where the issue lies. avi isnt native so u need a plug in.
I voted visualhub, but I never upgraded from the FREE isquint which does all my video converting for me.
Yeah I saw that. Does it transfer .avi movies though because QuickTime doesn't really play them.
It's a pro only option, unless I'm missing something. iSquint had the quickest download to install to figure out how to use it to encode. I used the elphant's dream video, chose ipod and reset the resolution to 320x240 and enabled h.264 encoding and it got the 11 min video down to about 50mb.
(edit)It was mentioned in another forum topic to use iMovie. I can confirm that iMovie HD that came with my MacBook can create ipod video files that are 320x240 and you have the added bonus of playing around with the video in iMovie before exporting it(/edit)
