But when i try to copy them on my iphone, it tells me that "files could not be copied to iphone because they cannot be played on this iphone". Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

I cannot be MP4 or3gp. It has to be a H.264 converted. I recommend Handbrake to do the conversions. It's free.
