AVI to Ipod

[wolfox]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to the forum and wanted to know what I can do to convert my off roading Avi movies into I pod format I have googled this and cannot get any helpful info on how to convert them into ipod or mpeg format. My friend had ******** and that worked well for him but since I am still in school I cannot afford to buy an expensive program. Is there a cheap way of doing this??? Any help would be gladly appreciated.

iSquint (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19769/isquint), free discontinued software.

Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/), it's free.

Thanks do you have to open the dmg file every time you use isquint? and handbrake says that it is for version 10.5 only I have 10.4 is there a version that will work for mine or can i get away with using this version on my computer? Thanks for the help guys, with windows I kinda know what I am doing but when it comes to mac I am some what clueless on how to do certain things.

No, drag the iSquint app to the Applications folder. You don't need the dmg after that.

Here (http://handbrake.fr/?article=old_versions) is a link to the version of Handbrake for 10.4.
