import avi movies to itunes?

[luzzerylavender]

I seem to think this will just be fun, not very productive like my macbook. That said, I like to watch bit torrent movies on my macbook. And I read that avi files won't play on ipad, for now at least. I'm wondering if I could still download movies and import them to my video section in itunes. Just play them that way, m4v file. Messy but at least I can watch artsy movies that itunes doesn't sell yet.
Thanks

You will most likely have to convert those .avi files as they use the Divx/Xvid codec(s) and iTunes doesn't really like them.

You can use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to an iTunes compatible format, like .mov or .mp4 using the H264 codec for video and the MP3 or AAC codec for audio.

+1

Also you can use Handbrake and set with some of the apple's profiles that has the application, and you can get mp4 or m4v.

Good luck!

If you want to play all your avi files on your iPad, just download AirVideo (free) and stream the videos wirelessly. Works great for me on my iPhone.
