Little help from iPod people

[starrylizard]

A friend of mine has an iPod and she want a few of my avi files, but she says they won't go onto her iPod. What do I need to change the avi file into something even a stupid Mac iPod accepts?

I'm assuming some of you do this all the time, so I'm asking before looking at forums this time.

Free software only. Thank you! Mwa xx

Edit: Okay, from my googling I've decided to try Any Video Converter and I'm converting to something called a MP4. Does that sound about right?

I use iSquint, but that's for Mac...

And not all MP4 types play on iPod. It has to be certain codecs or something.

Yeah, I have a feeling this one won't work, since it took forever to convert it and then asked if I'd like to upgrade to a paid version for iPod formats.

I use a PC, but hopefully if this doesn't work for her, I can use the other program suggested above.

Thanks for your input. :)

Try doing a search on download.com or cnet.com for "ipod video converter" and see what comes up.

I would really recommend iSquint to any Mac user and wish someone could come up with something similar for PC. Takes about 5 to 6 mins to convert a 350MB ep. Just drag & drop and hit the convert button. Simple & fast.

Ohhhhh wow that's great!!!! Thanks for recommending it - I was just looking for a mac converter myself.
