Ive done this in the past but cant remember now how it was done

i have a video i have made of my last scuba dive and i want to get it from laptop to iphone.

ive tried itunes and added the file, but nothing happens or appears

sure i used a piece of software before that could copy the file and change the format so it automatically worked on the iphone

It might not help if you want it on your phone for a specific reason, but I would normally just upload a video to YouTube from a computer.

Agree with the YouTube method. A lot easier than using handbrake etc. especially if your PC is slow

1 Upload videos to YouTube - YouTube then encodes the videos to MP4
2 Once uploaded and converted, download the MP4 videos to PC (you don't have to rip being the owner, you'll have a control panel allowing you to save)
3 Add file to library in iTunes
4 Include the new video to be synced with your phone (can't remember how to describe)

I did this with a load of family videos that I had ripped to DVD, but wanted to be able to share with Grandparents who now have Ipads, worked a treat and saved a lot of aggro. Just make sure that you set the privacy status to private if you don't want all and sundry to see your videos.

Hope that helps
