Simple Video Conversion for AppleTV and iPhone (MP4)

You know you can do this straight from iTunes?

Go to the movies section then right click on a video and press “Create Apple Tv Version” or “Convert for iPhone/iPod Touch.” Hope I helped.

QuickTime Pro can handle most files, too – or look at Handbrake.

In QT Pro, open the MKV and select Video Properties. Remove any unnecessary tracks (subtitles, foreign languages) then Save As a self-contained movie.

VLC media player. File -> Streaming/transcoding wizard -> put in all your settings (MP4 video +audio) then convert

You should try handbrake for Dvds and iSquint for video files. Both are free and open-source.

Check out iSquint if you can’t get it into iTunes.

@Pixel: iTunes can convert Quicktime and MPEG files for the iPhone. It doesn’t seem like it can convert AVI to MP4.

So, I caved and bought QT Pro. It takes a LOT longer than VisualHub to convert video but at least it works.

You should have just used VLC, its free and takes about 5 minutes for a 30minute clip

I tried VLC but for some reason, I couldn’t get it to work right. Besides, it said itself that it wasnt meant to work for files and was suited for streaming video.

Oh well… I guess its too late now.

If you have settings or instructions I should have used for VLC, let me know.
