The movie is playable in quicktime and itunes but when I try to transfer it to my iPhone, I get an error ["MyMovie" was not copied to the iPhone "My iPhone" because it cannot be played on this iPhone.] I'm working on an iBook OS X v. 10.4.10 (PowerPC)
here is the command I used
VLC "dvdread:///dev/rdisk1@1:5" --sout "#transcode{width=640, height=480, vcodec=h264, vb=768, scale=1, acodec=mp4a, ab=96, channels=2, audio-sync}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=/Users/me/Desktop/MyMovie.mp4}}"
it will play on the iphone if I 'convert selection for ipod' in iTunes, but that seems like a ridiculous extra (long) step.
is there some other parameter I should be using to get this to transfer to an iPhone without the extra conversion step?
tia,
