    Using Handbrake converted some video clips to MP4. Loaded on my Ipad just fine, but won't load on to my Iphone. Will the Iphone not accept MP4?

    depends. mp4 is a container format.

    the iphone can play mp4 files, but not necessarily all mp4 files. depends on what is inside.

    Just video clps of outdoors tat played fine on Ipad.

    That sounds like the way to go. I did not look to hard, but the Iphone setting was not obvious to me. Any tricks there?

    The content of the video is not important. Are you using the latest version of handbrake?

    look in the menus.. or on the top tool bar.... there is normally a Toggle Preset button that opens a tray on the side with tons of presets to choose from, including iPhone and such.
