Hello again!
I've had my brilliant little Macbook (and my first Mac) for about a month now. I'm loving every minute of particularly now that I have my photo/music/video files transferred over from my PC and have tweaked some things here and there.
I am running into one snag though. I like having one program to access for all my music and video needs. Of course on my Mac, that is iTunes. However, I'm finding some of my video files are not being recognized by iTunes such as .avi, etc.
They play in Quicktime without a problem so the files are fine. I don't own an iPod (Creative Zen fan... I just don't like the click wheel) so I don't care of they are in an iPod accepted format. I just want them to be recognized by iTunes so I can have my one-stop program. So I need to convert the file formats...
I did some searching here and on-line. Perhaps I'm just not hitting the right keywords. The two free suggestions I found were Movie2iTunes and iSquint. My question to all ye more knowledgable than I is: Will either of these programs do what I need? The info I'm finding seems to be concentrated around iPod file conversion and I'm not certain it's the same. If either will do what I need, which is the better program?
Or if I'm completely off base and there is door #3 that hopefully does not involve purchasing software? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
