Jiří Filip Video formats commonly found on iOS devices include the following: HEVC, AAC, H.264 (videos in the iTunes store are found in this video format), .mp4, .mov, or .m4a. These are the formats that iPhone phones support. However, many available videos are most often in formats such as .avi, flv (i.e. Flash video), .wmv (Windows Media Video) and finally, for example, DivX. Normally, these formats cannot be played on Apple devices.
In order to play these formats, it is necessary to convert these videos to one of the supported formats. This can be achieved in a simple way by using video conversion software. Below we take a look at three interesting iPhone converters.
iConv
iConv instead, it is directly an application that you can simply install on your Apple device. Supported formats for video conversion using this app include, for example, 3GP, FLV, MP4, MOV, MKV, MPG, AVI, MPEG. Also in this case, it is possible to convert videos without losing their original quality. It is also possible to reduce the quality and thereby reduce the total file size.
A big advantage of this application is the ability to convert videos even without an Internet connection, which the vast majority of these applications require. In addition, you can also choose the starting and ending points in the video whose format you want to convert. After converting the video, you can also share the final file with other applications. The disadvantage of this application are some functions that must be purchased (for example, to edit videos or convert to some types of formats).
It is definitely one of the better apps out there. The advantage is a very simple user interface, but also the ability to convert not only videos for your iPhone, but also documents (eg images and PDF files), e-books or audio files. It also supports .MTS format compared to other applications.
MOVAVI
Movavi Video Converter is a simple converter software that supports the conversion of video files with SuperSpeed technology (i.e. copying speed). In the case of this software, you can change formats between up to 180 kinds, so it is possible to easily choose the format that iPhone supports. At the same time, the videos are preserved in their original resolution.
The Movavi converter is equipped with a simple interface in which the first step is to drag the desired video file onto the program's desktop. Next, the output format is selected, for example .mov. The last step is to start the conversion with the "Convert" button. Within a few seconds to minutes (depending on the file size), the video is converted to the desired format. You can then convert it and play it on your iPhone.
Movavi converter is software that must be installed on your computer, a Mac version is also available. However, some features are only included in the premium package, such as increasing video quality, adding effects or joining files without losing quality. Basic conversion can be done in the free version of the program.
iSkysoft Video Converter Ultimate
The last software we recommend is iSkysoft Video Converter, which can be easily downloaded from the app store. This software supports more than 150 different formats, including MP4, MOV, AVI, FLV, WMV, M4V, MP3, WAV. There is also the option to edit videos thanks to the video editor that is part of the software. These can then be transferred to your device.
Videos can be simply inserted into the software by clicking “Add Files” and selecting the video from your device that you want to convert to the new format. In the "Device" category, you must then select Apple as your default device, in the next subcategory you can select the exact format and exact model of the device for which you will convert the video (e.g. iPhone 8 Plus, etc.). By clicking the "Convert" button, the files are converted to a new format. Subsequently, by clicking on "Transfer", new videos can be transferred directly to the iPhone device.
Although there are dozens of converters available today to help you convert videos to the format you need, it's still important to be careful when choosing. Many converters have a complex user interface or features that many ordinary users simply won't use. So if you need to easily convert your .avi video for your iPhone device, just choose a simple and effective software like iSkysoft. For example, if you want to use advanced functions for editing, effects, etc., we recommend choosing, for example, Movavi Video Converter. You can also choose from desktop software or applications that can be installed directly on your Apple device.
And isn't it easier to use a player that plays video files directly without conversion? (Ace player, VLC, Infuse, etc.)
