  • How to Convert MP4 to AVI


    The MP4 container is commonly used on YouTube, portable video players, and iDevices to transport or wrap video files in a web-friendly format. Many digital video players; however, do not support MP4 or M4V encoded files and require the videos be converted to AVI format for successful playback. As a result, using a free or commercial tool is required to convert MP4 to AVI before consumers can watch the respective movie or video.

      I need to delete some MP4 files, but I can’t, message says “in use” or something like that. Would converting them to MP3 allow them to be deleted?

        Converting would just mean that you would have two of every file. What device are you storing the MP4’s on and what is the exact error message you are receiving?
