Does anyone have an easy way to convert AVI files to a format that will go into iTunes and on my iPhone?

If you use a Mac use http://www.isquint.org/

It makes it really easy. I can’t help if you use Windows.

Yep, I was about to recommend that. It’s what I use.

I say visual hub for the mac! It’s fast and does the best on the video. On the pc sorry your on the wrong machine.

I have a PC and I use Cucusoft!

I use a videora iPhone converter.

And it’s free :)

I use VisualHub and it works great.

like I said before, you can go to your normal torrent site and get the complete cucusoft suit. You can convert virtually any type video to work on your iPhone. I used it just last night for a movie.
