Download Handbrake from here: Handbrake 0.9.3 for Mac OS X. Handbrake is a free open-source converter.
Step 1, Load videos you want to convert
Now, you can load videos such as 3GP, AVI, FLV, MKV, MOD, MOV, MP4, MPG, WMV you want to convert.
If a dialog box doesn't open up, click on the icon that says Source and select the videos in you mac which you want to convert. You can load 3GP, AVI, FLV,
MKV, MOD, MOV, MP4, MPG, WMV to MP4, MKV, AVI, OGM. If you can not load your videos successfully, you can use [URL=http://www.moviesmac.com/imedia-converter
The Destination section has 3 settings you can modify: file format, codec and file destination.
One of the first things you need to decide is what format (MP4, MKV, AVI, OGM) you'd like the output file to be in. There are some presets that can be found
on the Presets Toggle bar, and you can select any one of those, such as those for iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, Xbox, Sony PSP and many more.
Step 3: Picture Settings
Click on the Picture Settings button to launch a separate window. The only thing you really want to do here is to compensate for interlaced or grainy,
compressed looking video. Handbrake will have adjusted everything here for you based on the preset you selected.
Step 4, use handbrake to convert videos on Mac
Finally! Click on the Start button and stand back. The encoding time will depend on several variables including: the duration of the video file, the speed of
your computer, what other activity your computer is currently doing, the codec you selected (H264 or MP4) and if you decided to do a 2-pass encoding or not.
When encoding is finished, quit Handbrake.
Step 5, Import Into iTunes
Connect your iPod Video or iPhone to your computer using the cable it came with and open iTunes (Applications > iTunes).
Drag and drop the video file into your iTunes library, or select Add to Library... from the File menu.
Make sure the video file you just added to iTunes is in a Playlist that will get synced to your device.
Select "Sync"
The sync may take a few minutes. Once completed, the file should now be on your iPod or iPhone.
