I have converted a movie with Handbrake to mp4. I then dragged it into my itunes library. But I can't get it onto my iphone. It won't let me drop it onto the "device" in itunes and it won't transfer over when syncing. Can anyone walk me through this? This is my first attempt. thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Getting Handbrake movies onto iPhone

No, I guess I just converted it normally to an MP4. Didn't realize there were presets. But I changed the size to 480/320.
Then I dragged it into my itunes library. But when I tried to drag it onto my iphone, it wouldn't let me.
There were no error messages at all when I did the sync. It never said anything about the video.
I am converting again right now using the iPhone preset. We'll see. Any way to speed up the process?
Thanks!

handbrake runs pretty slow...takes at least an hour to convert for me. i tried converting once and it wouldn't let me sync to my iphone but for me, it was due to the resolution... there's an iphone/itouch setting that you can select.. and that should work just fine.
Buy a MacPro, max out the memory and get the 8 core processor..
My 2.8ghz Imac will convert a 2 hour movie in about an hour to hour and half..
Handbrake runs quite well in Windows. Might as well get a cheapo Q6600 tower for $500.
Just for the record, you can convert a movie for iPhone/iPod use within iTunes. You don't have to re-rip it with Handbrake.
In iTunes, just control-click or right-click on the movie, and select "Convert for iPhone/iPod" (or something like that, I'm going from memory). It takes a little time to convert, but it's a lot quicker than going through Handbrake again.

Hello - I had the same problem. I selected the file, went into "get info" and ticked that it was a music video. It went into my music library and uploaded straight onto my iPhone. Now when I want to watch the movie I simple go to iPod->videos and there it is and plays fine.
