My son received a DVD with some AVI files of his soccer game. (I think they're from a Sharp camcorder, but I'm not 100% sure of that).

How can I convert them to a format that he can view on his iPod Touch?

I have a Mac, Linux and Windows machines available, so any platform-specific recommendations are welcome.

If you're Mac is fairly recent, it should already have iMove installed. I would try that first. – Joe Internet Apr 1 '10 at 2:25

HandBrake is a free cross-platform program and converts just about anything to anything including iPod/iPhone.

I heard handbrake stopped supporting avi's. Was that just for outputting avi's? – Nifle Mar 31 '10 at 21:46
AVI is still a supported input format - but yes, as of version 0.9.4 it no longer supports writing output in the AVI container. – Goyuix May 11 '10 at 3:14

I'm very happy with WinX Free iPhone Video Converter, pretty fast and decent quality.

It throws up an UAC-dialog then an error when starting up (It's trying to check for updates) on my win7 x64 but I just ignore the error and everything works like a charm.
