Review of iPhone Video Converter, iPhone Converter, iPhone Video
Featuring 3.5-inch screen, which has a resolution of 320-by-480 pixels at 160 pixels-per-inch display, iPhone becomes a perfect video player for people to kill time on a long journey. I also prefer to take my iPhone with me during the trip and enjoy videos and music on it.
Here is some knowledge of mine towards iPhone:
1. Audio/video file formats and encoding formats supported by iPhone
2. Suitable parameters of audio and video to get the most use of iPhone
3. Useful audio and video conversion software I knew
Part One: Summery of iPhone supported formats
Audio/video file formats and encoding formats supported by iPhone:
File formats Encoding formats
*.mp4 mpeg4
*.m4v h.264
*.mov h.264
*.m4a mpeg4aac
*.mp3 mp3
*.wav pcm_s16le
iPhone supported video resolutions:
720*480, 720*406, 640*480, 480*320, 480*270, 320*240
iPhone supported video bit rate:
The highest value of video bit rate supported by iPhone is 2500K. If video bit rate is larger than 3000K, imported video only has sound but no picture. (BTW, I got this conclusion by my personal test) Software I used: Xilisoft iPhone Video Converter
First, download to install and run Xilisoft iPhone Video Converter.

The interface of this software is clear and user-friendly.
Get the supported audio and video formats showed below.

The supported Zoom mode and Split mode below.

On the right top section of the interface, there is a window for you to modify advanced parameters. You can choose from different parameters to meet your different needs of the conversion. For the details, you can get from the Help document of this software.
On the right bottom of the interface, there is a preview window. This enables you to preview the selected audio/video file.
Second, add original audio/video file you want to convert.

You know what you are going to do at a glance of the iPhone video converter. I think it is really easy to handle.
Third, some preparations need to do before the conversion.
The most important thing you need to do is select Profile according to your need.
Select Zoom mode and Split mode.
Select the destination for the output files.
Modify default advanced parameter. Users can neglect the default parameters in the list. If you are professional and want to get the details of these parameters, you can get from Help document of the software.
Fourth, perform the conversion.

This software is really user-friendly and easy-to-handle. Maybe there is no need to express too much to guide.
Fifth, import the output files to iPhone.
There are two options to complete this step. One is sync the output files through iTunes. The other is through iPhone management software to import files to iPhone.
Part Three: Test of videos
I have first tested the four video profile provided by the software. Just keep the original default parameters unchanged.
Video source:
Parameter:Get following results: (output files displayed on iPhone)
Video format: WMV3X Audio format: wma9 Resolution: 640*480 Bit rate: 128k Bit rate: 1500K Sample rate: 44100 Frame rate: 30fps Channel: 2
1. iPhone MPEG-4(320*240)(*.mp4)
Parameter:Comments: The output is very good. Resolution of iPhone display is 320*480 and 480*320 if you hold it transversely. When you display 320*240 videos, the top and bottom of the picture will be cut off. The sound is fine too.
Video encoder: mpeg4 Audio encoding rate: mpeg4aac Video resolution: 320*240 Bit rate: 80K Bit rate: 1200K Sample rate: 44100 Channel: 2
2. iPhone MPEG-4 480P(*.mp4)
Parameter:Comments: The result is the same as iPhone MPEG-4(320*240)(*.mp4), while this is just my personal opinion.
Video encoder: mpeg4 Audio encoding rate: mpeg4aac Video resolution: 640*480 Bit rate: 128K Bit rate: 1500K Sample rate: 44100 Channel: 2
3. iPhone MPEG-4(480*320)(*.mp4)
Parameter:Comments: Resolution of the picture is just the same as that of iPhone display. Picture is fully displayed. If you display the video via QuickTime on IBM laptop, you will get much clearer videos.
Video encoder: mpeg4 Audio encoding rate: mpeg4aac Video resolution: 480*320 Bit rate: 80K Bit rate: 120K Sample rate: 44100 Channel: 2
4. iPhone MPEG-4 wide screen (*.mp4)Parameter:
Comments: Picture is almost fully displayed and is much clearer than displayed on IBM via QuickTime. Since the resolution of video source is 640*480 and the resolution of output video is 720*406, therefore the result of this presetting is not representative. I will test this profile with HD video source later.
Video encoder: mpeg4 Audio encoding rate: mpeg4aac Video resolution: 720*406 Bit rate: 128K Bit rate: 1500K Sample rate: 44100 Channel: 2
Part Four: Other functions of this software
Allow to check over information of source files.
Feature several skin options.
Support multi-language including Simplified Chinese, Japanese, German and English.
Part Five: Conclusion
In general this software is user-friendly and easy-to-handle. It can meet different needs for different users. I think if this software can import to iPhone directly, it will be perfect. Maybe the Xilisoft company has already taken this into consideration and is working on the update. And we just wait and see.
