Convert AVI to MP4 - get movies to your iPad with this bare bones application
Ricardo Trejo
Getting movies you’ve “acquired” on your hard drive to your shiny iThing isn’t always as easy as people say it is. Sure, there are tons of applications out there that can do the job, but which of them are hassle free and are virtually idiot proof? Not many, but we did find one that caught our attention, and it’s the “Convert AVI to MP4”. Pretty straight forward name, eh?
So you have a movie on your computer and you also have an iPad, or an iPhone, that you want to transfer it to. Only problem is, the video file you want to move is an “.AVI” file, which isn’t compatible on Apple devices. So what do you need? Well, this is where the Convert AVI to MP4 comes in.
With this particular AVI to MP4 converter you can create a duplicate of your original video file in the proper “.MP4” format, which is the only Apple-friendly format videos are allowed to be played on their devices, in a matter of 2 to 3 easy clicks.
The reason why we chose this particular piece of software instead of more hardcore tools with a million options is due to how easy it is for anyone to use; As a user you don’t need to worry yourself with knowing what bitrate, audio quality, or resolution size you need your video to be.
Simply select the file you want to convert, choose where you want the new file to save to, and that’s it! Just sit back and wait until the status box on the bottom notifies you that you’re conversion is finished.
Now get to iTunes, add your “.MP4” version of your video file into your movie library, and then drag and drop onto your device — a painless process that anyone can do.
