I would recommend handbrake
though you need to download videos off of youtube to use it

Rajaa Chowdhury

I disagree Henry and you need not do that. You can convert video types which are stored in your computer also for the conversion. :)

try a 3rd party converter software with the iphone 5 profile. I don’t think any software contains it, since iphone is new. just try converting the video to a iphone supportive format such as mp4.

if you want to avoid converting you can try CineXPlayer, which plays most video formats on iphone. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cinexplayer-best-way-to-enjoy/id391790896?mt=8

xilisoft video converter – it has already configured format for iDevice.
or you can use the app “OPlayer”. it plays all formats, with subtitles attached (.srt and .sub are the 2 most popular)

Well, there are actually some video players ( FlexPlayer, for example) that allow DVD/VOB file playback.
But firstly to get DVD disc video out to iPhone5, I’d like to recommend you leawo dvd ripper(win/mac version available) to complete the conversion.
Professional, powerful and simple is all I know about it. :)

It is nice that this is resolved, but don’t you think you should have put a link so that it would be resolved for others also? I can’t seem to find the page and by the time anyone sees this and posts a link it is too late.

I’ve converted some 200 full-length MKVs with iFlicks and have yet to find something as intuitive, stable and easy to use as iFlicks.

The iPhone 5 is here and it is exactly like the leaks we have seen so far. The iPhone 5 will have a 4-inch 16:9 screen with a retina display at 1136 x 640 and 326 PPI which really make it ideal for movie or TV watching.

If you want to play 16:9 AVI movies on 4-inch iPhone 5, you need to convert AVI to iPhone 5 compatible video formats and then sync the results to iTunes for iPhone 5 streaming.

According to Apple official website, iTunes only works with QuickTime and MPEG-4 Movie files that end in “.mov”, “.m4v”, or “.mp4″ and are playable in QuickTime Player. Therefore, if you try to import .avi movie to iTunes for syncing, it will end in fail in importing AVI video to iTunes let alone transfer this AVI file to iPad, iPhone, iPod.
