Does anyone know of a free AVI to any other format of digital media conversion program that doesnt have a free trial that only lets you convert 5 minutes of the movie, or whatnot? Because the stupid AVIs won't open in itunes, and i need them too. Thank you all.

MPlayer plays any and all formats of video and audio media; it has never failed to open an (intact) file for me.

Ogg Theora is a free video codec you can use to encode uncompressed video.

There is no such thing as AVI video; there are a number of different codecs which use the .avi file extension.
