IPad – AVI on the iPad

ipadsoftware-recommendationvideo

I have about 20 GB of video files that I would like to put on my new iPad.

To my utter surprise, there's no de facto solution for

  1. playing AVI files on iPad and
  2. syncing any filetype on Wi-Fi without syncing to the cloud (Dropbox only allows 2 GB, and Acrosync doesn't sync AVI files).

Yeah, technically I can convert them to h.264, but that's kind of troublesome. If an app automatically does this for me then I wouldn't mind.

How can I do this? Surely, I can't be the only one who wants to watch their AVI videos on his iPad.

EDIT:

  1. Any free solutions?
  2. I want sync over wifi. Stream is a nice feature, by syncing over wifi is a must

There are dozens of apps which let you watch AVI files on your iPad, some better than others. The one I currently use is AcePlayer (currently $2.99, though the price has dropped to Free a number of times), and it also supports streaming most every video type there is (mkv, divx, flv, etc.).

Other apps with this functionality include yxplayer2 ($4.99), playable PRO (sale price $2.99, free version available), and GoodPlayer ($2.99).
