Not surprising really, iTunes doesn't support files in .avi format. Try Free Studio for converters.

does this program work on windows pcs?

Windows 8, 7, XP, 2003, Vista

(no Mac OS/Linux support)

That's fine, if you want a universal converter. Myself, I use Handbrake, and it's free. It keeps chapter markings and will even convert old DivX .avi's to iPod .m4v format. The only advantage I see to iMediaConverter is the flexibility of output format. HandBrake is designed to make m4v's and mp4's for iTunes/iPod/AppleTV; it cannot output to .avi or .vob.

I'll have to check out HandBrake. I'm new to this Mac world, and I keep finding out about cool new things. Thanks.

If you're a PC user, you could also use DVD decrypter/dvd43 + videora. Does the job for me.

the best to use Videora.

I've used it before, I have friends that use it, they like it, I like it

Handbrake, Toast Titanium Pro and iFlicks.

Try using QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip, with or without Perian, to convert the files into a format usable by iTunes, and then drag them into the open iTunes window. An AVI file may use any audio or video codec, and some codecs aren't available for Mac OS X.

You can download VLC app from the app store; after download follow on screen instructions from the VLC app on your phone to add files to you apple device.
