I was wondering if I could add some of my home movies in AVI file type to my new Apple device iPad Mini to show some of my friends. Is it possible to do and if so how?

Yes, it’s possible. In fact, it’s a big improvement that Apple iPad can support AVI videos if the files are compatible with the Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) standard since the company's previous mobile devices did not support AVI files. While, there still exists the limit that if the AVI file is encoded in Xvid, Divx or other codec, the Mini can not support anyhow.

Well, some users tried the third-party app and it worked well at the time but used to get the odd jumpy video or strangely a green screen with audio or any other problem. So, how to play any AVI files on iPad Mini freely with smooth HD playback. It’s not hard work. We’ve figured out the solution for you.

If you really desire to play the personal AVI video unsupported by iPad Mini, you need to convert these video files to iPad Mini compatible video format like MP4. AVI to iPad Mini Converter (or get the Mac version) enables you to convert AVI movies to iPad mini easily with the decent MP4 video up to 1080p full HD quality. Follow the guide below.

First, run the iPad Mini AVI Converter on your PC and click the Add Files button to add your personal video files to it.

Secondly, click "Format" bar, follow iPad > iPad Video H.264 Video (*.mp4). You can go to the Profile Settings icon to reset the video/audio settings for iPad Mini. 1024*768 video size is usually recommended.

Finally, start to re-encode Xvid/Divx to iPad Mini H.264 MP4 via hitting the Convert button. You can locate the output via tapping the Open button after the conversion.

Soon later, you will get your iPad mini video via clicking the Open button in the main interface. So, you can easily stream AVI files to iPad Mini for enjoyment or sync the videos via iTunes.
