If you connect your iPhone to your PC it shows up as a drive and you can browse your images in the DCIM\100Apple folder.

Is there any way to copy video to the phone without using iTunes?

Are you willing to jailbreak? – Derek Oct 7 '09 at 18:18
Good point. Hrm. I guess if that's the only way... I have no idea why I haven't jailbroken yet. Seems like a no brainer. – Michael Pryor Oct 7 '09 at 18:20

There's a genre of iPhone app that allows you to move files to and from the iPhone/Touch. I happen use one called 'Air Sharing' which allows viewing of videos and other doc types within it.

They connect very easily assuming you have access to a Computer using Wi-Fi

Jailbreaking might be the best solution. There are some other tricky ways that don't require a jailbreak however.

If you have a DropBox account, you can download the FREE iPhone App. Drop some movies in your box, and you'll have access to them without iTunes.

I haven't used it before, but it looks like you can use doubleTwist

You may follow this guide about how to sync video files to iPhone and iPad without iTunes. It worked for me.
