Is there any chance anyone knows how to convert a .avi file to .mp4? Is that even something that can be done?

not one that *actually* works. as in, actually gets things to play on an ipod. i have one that sort of works. but not where it counts. so it's really not even worth mentioning. but as soon as i find that magical program, you will be the first to know.

You are a star ♥

Also that is some big-time fail.WTF, program-creators. Get on that.
Although I have a feeling that some of the paid programs might work better...

You might wanna rock MediaCoder or WinAvi; since you have a PC I don't think you'll have the same issue of finding them :)

There are actually a lot of programs that do that called transcoders. Personally, I use MediaCoder, which includes a build specifically designed to convert video into iPod formats.

Whoa, okay! Awesome!

Um...I can't seem to find a Mac version of it. But thank you anyway ♥

The Mediacoder website says it will work with Wine, but I don't know how you feel about dealing with that. Here's a few I've found. I don't use a Mac, so I can't personally vouch for any of them.

I saw that, and I...didn't really know what it was talking about, with Wine, so I didn't pursue it.

Thank you so much. I'll poke through these and hopefully something will work.
Also you are awesome. A lot.

I'm having some trouble finding it for Mac ): But I will keep looking. Thanks!

Oh yeah.... I keep forgetting you have a Mac. There used to be a website I used that converted video... trying to remember what it was called. Something like Vidorec or something.

Completely unrelated to anything forever. Which clearly means I have something ridiculous to share.

Watch this.
