Choose your destination folder and the name for the movie in “Destination file:” There is NO WHERE on the screen that lets you choose a file name. after i choose the mpeg options etc, all it says is SAVE. you dont get to choose where or what folder to save it to. and it doesnt convert. how do i thne get it into itunes? 4.

The new one is almost similar: 1. Go to Media-->Convert/Save-->Click Add 2. Select the movie file 3. click convert/Save on the bottom 4. Choose your destination folder and the name for the movie in "Destination file:" 5. Use drop down menu and choose the format you want to convert. For IPODs/Iphones, I use Video MPEG-4 +ACC, however I think you can use the video-h.264+ACC (TS) ..not sure 6. You can further define the setting in by clicking on the "tools" button which is right next to the format. That 's where you can change the sound and codec stated in the original blog. I just left it alone 7. Click Start and Voila! Hope this helps! This instruction is for an older VLC. The new one is almost similar:

To play AVI files, there is MPlayer and YXFlash. I would recommend the latter, but it cost bucks (unless you get it cracked). MPlayer, on the other hand, is free and can also play AVI files.

It would be nice if the iPhone supported avi files. Or there was a VLC player app for the iPhone. Excellent article, thanks very much! It would be nice if the iPhone supported avi files.
