This is very simple. Open up windows explorer and go to your downloads folder. Double click on the Handbrake installer you just downloaded. A simple wizard will pop up, just keep clicking next and it will install successfully.

At the top left there is an Icon labelled “Source”, click on it and then select “video file”. Navigate through the window which popped up to the video you want on your iPhone, double click on it.
