Hey Fidelis,

Thanks for this link. Handbreak is quite useful and quite fast when it comes to conversion.

Appreciate it

Steve-

It looks like no one knows why it works that way. It just does. I wonder if enough people provided feedback to Apple about the problem, they might fix it? Try .

First try converting your .avi files to Apple format. you can do this with AVI to iTunes Video Converter for Mac(http://www.video-converter-mac.org/import-avi-to-itunes-on-mac/) (file>export) . then you can move all your files to itunes for new ipod or iphone. For iTunes or QT, you should select an iTunes-friendly output format, such as MOV, MP4 or M4V.

If you have a third-party video App on your iPhone you may be able to transfer them via the App section of iTunes. Otherwise you will have to convert them into an iTunes supported format as ha14 already stated.

you will need a converter

According to Apple official website, iTunes only works with QuickTime and MPEG-4 Movie files that end in “.mov”, “.m4v”, or “.mp4″ and are playable in QuickTime Player. Therefore, if you try to import .avi movie to iTunes for syncing, it will end in fail in importing AVI video to iTunes let alone transfer this AVI file to iPad, iPhone, iPod.
