    Hi, ive got a few .avi files on my macbook that i need to put onto an ipad2 for a mate. Ive never had an ipad so im not sure what the story is with moving them over. Im aware that they need to be mp4. is there a converter that anyone can recommend, or any other way of putting files onto the ipad.

    Cheers.

    you can just download one of many player to play them

    Oplayer - lets you stream from pc
    Buzz player - lets you download from internet

    alternately you can jailbreak and install xbmc, which I personally think is the best.

    with oplayer and buzz you can sync the avi files with itunes

    Yeah i need to just basically fill the ipad with videos and films for him while he is travling, so streaming from pc wouldnt work.

    Can ipad 2 be jailbroken? its brand new so its on 5.0.

    you can do that with oplayer, simply install it, then connect to itunes, goto ipad -> applications tab and scroll to the end and you will see a place where you can drag and drop avi files into the app.

    If you could get the VLC, it's better.
    But I think there are not available any more.
    But you could tru some free tools to do converting for you:
    Handbrake: http://handbrake.fr/ Use the iPad preset.
    Free iPad video converter: http://www.aneesoft.com/win-free-ipad-video-converter.html totally free for Windoz but the input formats are limited
