There is a very specific format the iPhone / iPod Touch requires, I believe it is H.234 and most resolutions will work. But if you can get it into iTunes, you can right click on it and select the option for iTunes to convert it for you. And on OS X, VisualHub is best for media encoding and it has a specific option for direct to iPhone video conversions. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > I’m asking if you know of any mac programs to shrink/convert the files. iSquint, which I think was either the same thing as or similar to VisualHub. The developer has stopped selling and supporting it and has opened and released the source: > **[TranscoderRedux](https://sourceforge.net/projects/transcoderredux/)** > > Download TranscoderRedux for free. The aim of this project is to produce various top quality transcoders for OSX. Currently all access is via the SVN at https://transcoderredux.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/transcoderredux You can search around for a pre-compiled bundle or I can just put it up online.
