ok here is what you do, open the avs video converter program,click on the browse button,then find the file (movie) you want to convert left click(highlight it) then click on open, the file should appear in the input file name box, then select the format you wish to format it to and click on the convert now button. The output file name will remain the same as the original and be in the same path (location) as the original also.However, the converted file will have the word "new" at the end of it. if you want it to go into your I-pod you must convert it to the MP4 format. I hope that helps you.
