I’ll show you how I’ve been converting videos from my Mac, transfer, and watch on my phone without having to learn anything about codecs, bitrates, resolutions, and other tech terms we really shouldn’t care about. This is all possible thanks to Nokia Multimedia Transfer for Mac.

Using Nokia Multimedia Transfer software is pretty straightforward. For video transfers, you’ll also need to use iTunes as a milddleman to hold your unconverted movies or videos.

Setup

Download. Head to nokia.com/mac to download Multimedia Transfer. Install it, then add your Nokia device.

Prepare iTunes. Create a new playlist on iTunes to help you better organize the movies or videos you want to transfer over to the phone. Drag all the videos you want on your phone to this playlist.

Multimedia Transfer Settings

Under Device settings on Multimedia Transfer, enable iTunes Transfer for selected folders & playlist and check the created playlist from the previous step.

On the video tab, select Transcode videos not natively supported by device.

That’s it! Now all you need to do is start the transfer, or even turn on the option that automatically transfers the videos when you plug in your phone to your Mac.

If you have new videos to add later on, just drag them to the playlist on iTunes, then click transfer on Multimedia Transfer after connecting your phone.

As an example, I had a 350MB HD video that was converted into a 27MB file playable on the Nokia 5800. I did not have to find out about conversion settings or codecs, etc. Very simple!
