Multimedia, AV PureMobile sent us in a 16GB iPod Touch for the purposes of this article. This is one of the few times an - essentially - mp3 player comes with a powerful operating system (other examples include the Linux-based Archos and Sandisk offers). Read on for more.

XviD is MPEG-4

Just FYI, XviD is MPEG-4. They're the same on-disk format.

The key is that none of Apple's products support MPEG-4 inside an AVI container file, which is how they are most often found; they only support it in MP4 and MOV container formats. However, there exist many tools to repackage an AVI file into an MP4 file without having to re-encode the video or audio. On *nix systems, ffmpeg and mencoder can both do it. It only takes seconds!
