moving videos from Droid X to iphone

[jnine1271]

I backed up all my videos off of my X and tried to sync them to my iphone and only one video came on...it says that the others cant be played on the iphone, but they are all the same type of videos (shot with my X or BB) so why arent they working???

Are they a different file format?

videos

as far as I know they are all the same format bc they were all either shot on my droid X or my BB tour...some of them came over but others didnt...I have to check on my home computer (thats where they are saved) to see if they are in diff formats...either way is there any way to convert them so I can put them on my new iphone?? Thanks!

I'm thinking if they're not the same format then you need to change the file
extensions on them on your PC first. The file extension that is used for the
iPhone videos and see if it works then.

videos from X to i

I looked last night and apparently they are all either 3GBB or 3GBB2 file extensions...the ones that copied are the ones with the 2 I believe...Im gonna try to change the extensions tonight and see what happens. Thanks so much for the help!!!

No problem. Let us know how it goes.

I will be using this helpful information as well next week when I switch from my Droid X

Im still having trouble...a little more help is needed. I thought I knew how to change the file extensions but apparently I dont...can anyone advise??

Through the folder options you'll see an option to be able to view the file extensions on files overall. Once you set it up that way you can edit the filename and the extension.

It's not as simple as just changing the extension of the file. You'll have to actually convert the file.

Yeah, I think you have to convert the video file, just use Handbrake to help you, the new version 0.9.5 adds presets for the iPhone 4, use it~

I figured that out Saturday night however after I converted the files they played the video without sound...could you recommend a program to convert them with? I cant remember the one I used - I deleted it. Thanks!
