i have a season of a show that i want to be able to watch on my ipod (they don't sell eps of this show, yet). i've got one episode of the office on there, and it's a mpeg-4 video file, so i'm assuming that's the format i need to go with. the files i want to add are currently avi. if i find a converter to get these avi files to mpeg-4 video files, can i add them to the itunes library and then to my ipod?

where can i find a good, free avi-to-mpeg4 converter?
is this possible?

thanks!

I think they only take .avi files, not sure though.

As long as they are in the proper format, you can add them to the library. Do you have Windows or OS X?
