Converting Videos for iPhone/iPad (mp4)

Question

I know this isn't quite a programming question but it's very closely related to iPhone/iPad development.

What's a good software (preferably with a GUI) for converting videos to iPhone/iPad compatible mp4s ? My videos are mostly mpg, avi, mov .

Answer 1

Handbrake will do a great job, its free, its open source, and it is on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh.

I know it takes file inputs from any source on Windows (I'm not sure on Mac, but I'm pretty sure its the same on Mac).

Answer 2

Handbrake is my favorite tool for this job. Free and Multiplatform.

Integrates with all of the appropriate preset for iPhone / iPod / iPhone 4

Answer 3

Just for note: I use ffmpeg library to convert all my media. Yes, it doesn't have UI but it supports probably almost all the video/audio formats you need + it's very easy to use it with scripts when you want to convert a big amount of media.
