How to Convert Video Files on iOS

Generally, if we want to watch local video files on an iOS device, we need to make sure they are iTunes-, iPhone-, iPad-, or iPod-compatible first. For the video files that can be accepted by iPhone/iPod touch/iPad, we just connect the device with computer via cable and the open iTunes to sync them to the device. However, for the non-compatible video files, we need to convert them first. A great majority of video converters provide optimized profile presets for Apple devices, so we don't need to know about what formats we should convert the video files into. But if you do want to know, you can check out the Tech Specs page of the device in the Apple official page.

Video Converter iOS App Transfers Video Files to iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch for Conversion and Playback

The iTunes Store offers a variety of movies, music videos and TV shows which you can purchase, download and transfer to your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch devices for playback. If there are some great video files in your PC and you want to play them on your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch, you have probably noticed that not all of them can be transferred to your device. What's the reason behind? It is due that Apple devices like iPhone, iPad and iPod touch can only support certain .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats. For the video formats like AVI, WMV, MKV, FLV, 3GP, MTS, M2TS, RM, RMVB, etc., you cannot directly transfer them to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices for viewing.

Anyway, there's indirect way to watch the non-compatible video files on an iOS device. You just need a converter to get them converted to iTunes-, iPad-, iPhone-, or iPod-compatible videos. When you get the converted videos, you just add them to iTunes and sync them to your device. It sounds nice. But don't you think it very troublesome? Besides, the converter will cost you dollars.

So is there a more convenient yet free way to convert local video files for playing on iPhone/iPad/iPod touch? The answer is YES and the solution is Video Converter App.

Video Converter App lets you transfer video files from your computer to your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch device for instant conversion and direct playback.
