Playing avi movies on iPad 3

[amabdelsalam]

Hi,

Is it possible to play .avi movies on iPad? Any movie player available?

thank you

I use AZUL for watching Avis. It also plays .flv, (some) mp4s, and (most) mkvs, and probably other formats that I do not use. Works for me.

My recommendations: AVPlayer, BUZZ Player, GoodPlayer

OPlayer is another choice.

Oplayer hd lite works for avi and mkv just fine

AVplayer HD +1

Yeah it is possible. I am using OPlayer HD. It is pretty good. But you can also use CinXPlayer, AVPlayer, Goodplayer etc.

first try converting your .avi files to Apple format. you can do this with iPad Video Converter(ipad-converters.org) (file>export) . then you can move all your files to itunes for new ipad 3 or iphone. For iTunes or QT, you should select an iTunes-friendly output format, such as MOV, MP4 or M4V

Not sure why you would spend hours converting files to another format when all the above play avi directly. AVPlayer HD +1

Agreed, And, a few weeks ago I went to all the bother of converting to MP4 format from .avi.... and the file size ended up larger? AVPlayerHD is the only way to go.

flexlayer for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation) and iPad on the iTunes App Store

Flexlayer supports MKV, AVI, DivX, VOB, MP4, MOV, WMV... It was free when I purchased but not sure anymore.

Hope this helps =]

I would like recommend AVPlayerHD, plays all video files on it, plus the built in wifi transfer is great to have if you are traveling and don't have access to your iTunes PC.
Well, actually, you could get and watch movies, videos on iPad for free online, and maybe these howto wiki can do help for you:

More Avi help please
I have a shiny ipad3, downloaded AVPlayer and transferred my avi movies but they won't play. They are from my Nikon Coolpix P6000. Any ideas please?

AVI is just a container, there are multiple differing codecs that can be used within an AVI file. I would guess the AVI on a camera may be a more uncompressed version, not the more common divx or xvid codecs commonly used today. My recommendation would be to convert these files for playing on the iPad.
