I have both a .wmv and .avi file and I would like to get them onto my
iPhone, is there any way to do this? I have tried to 'drag' them into
iTunes but they won't stay there. Any ideas?

Convert them to MP4 video first.

Tried to do that using Handbrake but it says its not a valid source?

I've upgraded to Quicktime Pro and that's done it for me. The only
disappointing bit is that one of them was one that was using Flip 4 Mac to
view the wmv file and on exporting it has put a watermark on it for Flip 4
Mac.

I've just tried it using Handbrake (Versions 0.9.3 and 0.9.4) and a
selection of WMV and AVI files. It works fine for me using H264 encoding
(the default). I suspect that you need to install Perian in order to
enable Handbrake to decode the WMV file.

FWIW, the encoding reduced the size of the WMV file from 58Mb to 30Mb
which seems worthwhile if you're getting it onto an iPod.
