First time asking question in class? Don't you think the detail of error message is important?
I just drag and drop all my pr0... errr movie files onto the iPhone icon in iTunes with no tissues err issues.
You cracked me up
In iTunes, simply right-click on it and select "Convert for iPhone" that will adjust the bitrate and resolution to work on the iPhone, then select it from the list on the iPhone's Movie Tab.

Use the menuse...
Advanced>Create iPod/iPhone Version. If that doesn't work, I doubt the file even plays in iTunes, in which case you need to use iSquint, Toast, or ffmpeg to convert it to a compatible format, then import into iTunes, then convert for iPod. Not all MP4 video files are true MP4, some are MS-MPEG4, some are something else.
