Handbrake is a really good video converter. It's free, open-source and cross-platform:
There's an old proverb in the video encoding world: "Speed, size, quality: pick two." It means that you always have to make a trade-off between the time it takes to encode a video, the amount of compression used, and the picture quality. Well, this release of HandBrake refuses to compromise. It picks all three.

By iPhone, I assume you mean mpeg4. There's a lot of command line tools that can achieve that. The main ones are ffmpeg and mplayer/mencoder.
You can also have a look at this Nautilus script.

1i'd suggest in addition taking a look at winff as a ffmpeg front end. – Journeyman Geek – 2009-12-18T10:05:18.220
