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.
