.avi movies on Ipad2

Thanks for all the advice, I have just tried CinexPlayer and it seems to work great on .avi movies.

I will continue to test any other suggestions.

Thanks
Michael

Try avplayer hd. I think it costs 2.99 but it is absolutely great.

What is the proper conversion file that plays correctly on the iPad?

You could add good player and Oplayer. They play almost everything. I have a whole arsenal of media player apps so now matter what format thrown at me, I'll be able to play it. I have CineXplayer, VLC player, Goodplayer, and Oplayer. The Big 4 ;-)

The App store viable VLC player was pulled from the App store due to contentions arising from the open license. :( . But I have my copy and it's burned to
CD and stashed in my safty deposit box :P.

I have VLC and my phone is not jailbroken.

If it is not late, You can't watch them in .avi format on the iPad 2 - they need to be converted first to .mpg or .mov format. Try the great free app called aisee (ipad-converters.org) or another of your choice to convert your files. Then just sync them over via iTunes or via a good cloud sync app like Dropbox.

cinexplayer works well for me, there are a few format types it doesn't play but it's generally pretty good.

Hi! Donka. I have downloaded OPlayer and sync'd it to my iPad2 my problem is "how do you use it", I've tried dragging from my films folder on my computer ,but nothing,can you help.
Also I do have VLC loaded on my computer and have it set as my default. is it possible to use it to convert to Mp4 or Mpv ???

I don't use OPlayer anymore but if I recall correctly, you need to use the USB sharing feature in iTunes. Connect your iPad to iTunes and once it shows up in the list on the left, click on it and then click on the apps tab at the top of the main screen. Scroll down this page until you see a list of installed apps on your iPad that are available for sharing. Click on OPlayer. Now open the folder on your computer that has the AVI or MKV files and drag the ones you want into this sharing pane in iTunes. They will copy over and once complete will be available in the OPlayer library on your iPad. You don't need to sync again as they are already copied over.
