AVI on iPod
I KNOW this is a stupid question so don't hate me for posting it, but I have a shred of hope that maybe I'm just ignorent and clueless and that there might be a solution out there.
Ok, here's my question, I have over 200gigs of AVI formatted video and was wondering if theres ANYWAY or any software that i can get to allow my iPod to play videos formatted in AVI. It bothers me that I can play them on Quicktime and iTunes and not my iPod.

My question is strictly can i get AVI on to my ipod in anyway
The iPod processor is not powerful enough to decode DiVX or any compressed AVIs. The reason it can play .h264 and .mp4 is that it includes a special hardware decoding chip specifically made to decode these two formats. And from the look of it, you cannot reprogram this chip to decode other formats, it's hard-wired for .h264 and MPEG-4.
iPod linux only plays specially formated uncompressed AVI. It won't play anything compressed, and that probably means every AVIs Cato988 owns cannot be played on an iPod, even with Linux.

ok thanks... So I've got a new question for you know. How much quality would i lose in my AVI files if i convert it to mpeg via quicktime pro? I know it'll take FOREVER, but that might be what i have to do.
