"shrinking" video files for an iphone

[CR0X]

this might be a really simple solution and I might appear to be a fool but I will ask anyway:

I have quite a lot of films etc on my hard-drive at decent res. I want to put some on my iPhone but want to reduce the size and make them mp4 files.

Any ideas about best software (preferably free!) to use for this?

Handbrake

DVDVideoSoft.com also do free MP4 conversion software.

Doing so as we speak on a Blue Ray copy of Avatar... Dead easy.

As has been said... Handbrake. If you have a mac, isquint will do it very nicely as well, without what some see as complication. It will auto add to iTunes as well.

+1. This is an awesome program. You can even adjust the iPod / iPhone settings so you can make it a certain file size ( at the sacrafice of some quality ). I did some 30 min episodes to 200mb so I could get all 6 in the series on without having to delete everything, and on the iPhone screen its not too bad at all.

d/l'd handbrake.

Thanks all.

Usefulness of PH again shines through

Anyone feel like adding it to the Freeware section as I couldn't find anything suitable in there!
