Movie players for smart-phones

Hi,
I have a problem where I would like to play small AVI movies I have made on my smart-phone (Sendo X). However most of the players require you to format the movie prior to uploading onto the phone. Guess what? The software for the computer side is always PC.

Does anyone know of an easy seamless way of getting their small movies onto their smartphone?
John.

Do you know what format the movies have to be? What model phone do you have?

If the required format is 3GPP, which is common for most of the smartphones (Nokia and Sony-Ericsson at least), then you can use QuickTime Pro to translate the movie.

Yep, I convert videos via QT Pro, then bluetooth it to my N6630. Works great. Have a couple of home movies and some shorts from the Internet loaded on my mmc card. Had a Simpsons episode but took it off after seeing it a handful of times.

I currently have realOne and some symbian that I downloaded called DVD player which plays specially formatted AVI movies. I have a sendo X which is based on Symbian OS.

I will check out what I can do with Quicktime.

Need to bore all my friends with the clips I took snowboarding

thnx
John
