iriverter was designed to convert nearly all videos to these formats to take the difficulty out of video playback. If you already have videos in this format you can simply put them on your device. On the H300 series, videos are played just like any other music file through music mode and the file tree. If your video is not in the necessary format, pass it through iriverter as discussed in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.
