The iPhone is a wonderful device. However when it comes to play videos it turns out to be very picky.
Indeed, the iPhone only accepts to play movies encoded in a very specific format: the so called mp4 format.
Movies2iPhone converts any video (Divx, Xvid, avi, mpeg, wmv, asf, mov, vob, etc...) to a format optimized for your iPhone or iPod touch.
It is extremely easy to use, free for non-commercial use and does NOT require your iPhone/iPod touch to be "JailBroken".
Movies2iPhone currently runs under Windows Xp and Vista.
Here are a few screencaps:
How does it work?
Movies2iPhone uses FFmpeg.
FFmpeg is a fantastic command line program that can record, convert and stream digital audio and video in a wide range of formats.
In particular, it can convert most video format in the mp4 format. A video format compatible with the iPhone and iPod touch.
But since it is command line driven and uses an enormous amount of configuration parameters, it is prety hard to use.
Movies2iPhone acts as a front end for FFmpeg, it creates an easy to use graphical interface for FFmpeg, dedictated to one single task: Converting videos to the iPhone format.
FFmpeg is a trademark of Fabrice Bellard, originator of the FFmpeg project.
FFmpeg is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
Movies2iPhone is not associated with the FFmpeg project.
Coming soon:
Following are just a few possible improvements I could think of. Let me know what you would like to be added to this list.
- Auto-move to iPhone: After a video is converted, this option will allow to automaticaly move the video to your device (no more need to use iTune and sync your device).
- Audio Track Selection: Suggested by Gilly - Some vidoes include several audio tracks this option will allow to select which one should be used in the iPhone video.
