After you purchase your iPhone and iPod you may need to add or modify movies available to you. There are many gadgets and apps available for the purpose. Besides you may apply some small to modify certain things which iPhone does not allow. Here are the facts that will help you add new movies and modify the existing movies in your iPhone. So, let us get started.

First thing you need to do is having a movie on your PC. You may get the movie directly by downloading from internet or copying from disk. Certainly iPhone will not support this format. So, we need to convert the video to be iPhone compatible i.e. MP4 format. There are lots of software available for the purpose. You may do a Google search to get the best software. But I will recommend the Intervideo converter.

After you are done with converting, you will have a MP4 file ready. You can directly drag and drop the file onto the iTunes folder. If it does not work you can do a redo conversion. But this is not the general case. In general almost every file will work in your iPhone. You can convert the files into MP4 and load as many as you like keeping the memory of the device in eye.

Another easy way to do this task is ordering movies and videos directly from iTunes. Those are already in the appropriate format and can work fine with your iPhone. Indirectly you are purchasing products from apple in this process. But if you want to save money then it is wise to go for the former process. Though it will take some time you will save some cash which you had otherwise given away to Apple.
Now it is the time to enjoy your favorite movies in your iPhone!!
