SELECT OUTPUT PROFILE AND CHANGE IPHONE 4 VIDEO AND AUDIO SETTINGS
THIS IPHONE 4 VIDEO CONVERTER FOR MAC HAS SEVERAL VIDEO PROFILES TO CHOOSE FOR IPHONE 4 OUTPUT FORMAT.
Select an iPhone 4 MP4 profile from the list, in this case, select “iPhone 4 MPEG-4(640480) Video(.mp4)”. Using this profile will yield a good quality video for your iPhone 4. You can also change the Resolution, Encoder, Bit rate and Frame rate to get the best quality of video on iPhone 4. The size of the iPhone 4 file depends a lot on these settings.

: “Image Settings” tab
Next, in the “Image Settings” tab, move down to “Width/Height”. If you have an iPhone/iPod touch or a newer generation iPod type 640 in the left (width) box. Leave the “height” box blank. This will prompt this iPhone video converter to calculate the height for your video based on the correct aspect ratio of the title, and your resulting video will look right and will not be lopsided or resized incorrectly.
This is the only input you will make in this tab. Leave everything else alone.
Important note on width=640: the reason I use this value is that the resulting video will play nicely and at an excellent quality both on most iPods/portable devices as well as on the computer (i.e. I like to create one file that will work everywhere, and will look decent on a computer screen).
Note, however, that although iPhone/iPod Touch and all newer generation iPods (5G onwards) can accept video sizes up to 640 pixels, iPhones/Ipod Touchs will only display this video at a resolution of 480 pixels wide, while older iPods will only display a resolution of 320 pixels wide. Pre-5G iPods cannot handle video files with 640 pixels resolution at all, therefore if you have an older device than a Fifth Generation iPod you must use “320? as the width value rather than “640?.
