The link is just my signature.
It has nothing to do with this thread, but it has everything to do with my name.

Can you go to File and then Add To Library?

What format are the movies in?

Yes tried that, nothing happens

Then you're probably trying to add a file type that iTunes doesn't recognize or support.

OK, that might explain it.

But if I open the AVI file quick time plays it no problem

Winx DVD is a MacApp I use. There's one in the Mac Appstore too, don't quote me but the name is "iVL" or something of that sort. It's a media app in the overall top 50 on the mac app store

download handbrake
open avi-file with handbrake
select apple tv 2 preset
convert the file (from avi to m4v)
drag the new (m4v-)file into itunes
done

I would do this, too. I don't have experience with WinXDVD, but Handbrake is a pretty standard choice, especially if you already have video files on your Mac.

The list of profiles is pretty self-explanatory -- if you want it to play on your iPhone or iPod, you will need a converted copy in the appropriate profile (the iPhone/iPod are picky about the video resolution). The file Handbrake creates should work in iTunes and on the devices without a problem.
