I’ve read that the iPad now supports AVI files, specifically, “Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format”

I’m not that knowledgable about video file formats, but does this mean that most of the AVI files that you can download from the internet will work? Or is this some specialized version of an AVI file that is not common?

I always hated having to convert standard AVI videos to a format itunes can read, so if I could use most standard AVI files that would be great.

Some Mac users may be unaware that the video file formats. In other words, some of IPAD supports AVI video cameras to watch their material through the card reader camera accessory, does not allow you to watch downloaded movies AVI IPAD.
