Help me here some, I like your explanation the best but I am not savvy in these things soooooooo.......I have movies on my Mac Computer in AVI format that I watch on my computer with a DivX program, works great lasts a long time......I want to get them onto my iPad so I can watch them while I travel is this doable and how.........explain slowly please ha ha, thanks in advance!!
I'd recommend AVPlayerHD. I've tried a number of different players that play AVI (and other) format files, and I think the AVPlayerHD is certainly one of the best.
Once you've got AVPlayerHD on your iPad, there are several ways to get your videos into it. You can use iTunes, the internal "wifi transfer", or "open in..." from other apps.
Here's some quick instructions for using iTunes.
1. Plug your iPad into your computer (this also works through wireless syncing, if you've got your iPad set up for this, though, naturally, it takes longer to transfer files over wifi).
2. In iTunes, click on the iPad icon in the left side-bar.
3. Now, across the top of the main part of the window, you'll see tabs/buttons that say: Summary, Info, Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, Books, Photos. Click on "Apps".
4. Scroll to the bottom of this window, where you'll find the File Share area.
5. On the left, there is a list of apps that support file sharing. On the right is an area that lists files associated with the selected app (this area should be blank at the moment, as you won't have an app selected yet).
6. Find and select AVPlayerHD from your apps list in the File Sharing section.
7. Drag any movies you want into the files area and wait for them to finish copying over.
8. Disconnect your iPad.
Done and done.
Hope this helps.
