Only the titles you checked will be converted. So if there're some YouTube FLV videos you don't want to convert, you need to uncheck them or 'Remove' them from the right-click menu. 'Clear' in the right-click menu means remove all titles in the list.

There are almost all common iPhone video formats available for you to choose to convert to. Here I set the output format to 'iPhone MPEG-4(640*480) Video (*.mp4)' and the audio codec as default. Remember that the output file size mostly depends on the Bitrate you set. Larger Bitrate, larger file size. Actually MP4 video with bitrate as 768 is acceptable for watching on iPhone.

Now you may click the big button "Start" to begin converting YouTube FLV videos to iPhone MP4 video file. Once the convert is complete, iFunia YouTube to iPhone Converter for Mac will place a new version of your video on the desktop (depends on the output folder setting).

To get the movie onto your iPhone, launch iTunes 6 (or later). If you do not have it, download iTunes now. Drag your new converted movie file into your iTunes library in the folder or playlist of your choosing.
Attach your iPhone to your computer and sync the iPhone with iTunes. If you're connecting your iPhone for the first time, you'll need to name it, and choose how you'd like to manage your music and video. Check the option "Automatically sync songs and videos to my iPhone" so your music and video from the iTunes library will automatically snyc to your iPhone. The sync may take a few minutes. When syncing is done, eject your iPhone and take your movies with you.
To play the movie on your iPhone, select "Videos" then "Movies" from the iPhone Main Menu. Movies will be listed here alphabetically. Click on the desired movie to play.
