How to watch .avi movies on apple tv 2 gen

Hi there.
Just bought an Apple tv gen2 day before yesterday. Here are my question(s)
1. I am trying to stream .avi format thru my itunes. I was able to stream .mp4( i think) on the apple tv.  How can i stream avi format?
2. I also have an Ipad 1gen. Everybody keeps talking about mirroring it so that whatever I do on Ipad I can see it on my TV. How do i do that. Sounds really cool.
Thank you

The way I do it is to use a program/app called Air Video: http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/index.html
The program will stream .avi files to the app on the iPhone or iPad and then from there you can AirPlay the movie to the AppleTV. The app costs A$2.99 and the server is free. You need iOS 5 for it work. You can still use your Phone for other things though I haven't tried a phone call.
You can't mirror the iPad 1st gen display but you can use the component cable to plug the iPad directly to the tv and play the movie from Air Video through that rather than AirPlay

    How can I get movies from my Itunes library on my laptop to my apple tv 3rd generation?  I cant figure out a way to do it besides airplay.  I'd like to store them on the hard drive if possible.

  • How to watch home movies on Apple TV?

    I have home movies in IPhoto taken with my Canon Elph. Can I watch these on Apple TV? If so where do I find them?

    Double-click the movie in iPhoto, find it's path from the Open Recent item in the File menu of the QuickTime Player, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter the path after deleting everything following the final /, and drag the movie files into the open iTunes window. .........
    I'm sure that will work, but is it all that necessary, surely it's simpler to drag the movie from the iphoto window to the itunes window.
    If it is in the wrong format try advanced/convert selection for Apple TV. Some files may not convert this way, if so, come back for another method based on the type of file you have.

  • How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv?

    How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv?  I recently purchased an apple tv and cannot play the movies I have bought on my itunes account?
    Can anyone help?

    You can also got to movies and select purchased and if it comes up cannot connect to server go to settings and scroll down to restart and it should work. That's what I did and it showed my purchased movies and I don't have my Apple TV paired with a computer. Just using iCloud. But you also can pair your computer but its not necessary to watch purchased movies you have bought through iTunes. Hope this helps.

  • We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away.  Now it takes hours.  Is there a setting to change?

    We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away.  Now it takes hours.  Is there a setting to change?  They used to start playing after a few minutes of starting the download but not now.  What's up?

    Pat, I've been experiencing this issue intermittently for weeks.  It seems to occur with HD content --including HD trailers --exclusively.  Tonight has been no exception.
    I have done considerable troubleshooting to try and isolate the cause.  My results suggest that Apple's servers are to blame but I've not seen many others reporting this issue in these forums lately.
    I live only 170 miles from Apple's North Carolina server farm.  I assume my iTunes rentals are being fed from there.  My broadband connection is a fast one (30Mb down) and consistently tests near that speed when this issue occurs.
    I have both a first and second generation AppleTV.  When this issue occurs, I will change devices and rent the same movie to see if th device itself is to blame.  The issue affects both.  I have tried using an ethernet connection instead of my Airport Extreme's 5Ghz wireless connection but that does not remedy the issue.
    So... my broadband connection is more than capable, my router is performing optimally (I recently had my local Apple Store test it as well), and neither of my AppleTV's is immune to the issue, so...  it must be on the delivery end.
    Unfortunately, Apple does not post the status of their iTunes Store's servers like they did with their MobileMe servers.  They should.  In fact, the AppleTV should display a status message when Apple's iTunes servers are experiencing technical difficulties or heavy network traffic.
    I was an early adopter of AppleTV.  It has not been problematic until now.  This is trying my patience.  My advice is that you request a refund everytime this happens.  I do.
    I am taking this matter to the VP of iTunes services.  If Apple's servers are choking, or if their streams are being throttled by ISP's, or internet TV is too ambitious for this country's internet infrastructure, I deserve to know.

  • How to watch .avi video in iphone?

    Hi I use win Vista and I just bought a new iphone. Everything works well. Only one question is : how to watch .avi video in iphone. I download a lot of video in that format but cannot add them into intunes, therefore cannot sync into iphone. I search the web and know the problem is quickplayer doesn't support this video format. Is there any solution to tranform .avi video format to any format which quickplayer support?
    Another question is : I bought some TV show DVD ( like Grey's anatomy, House, etc.) How can I sync those films into itunes then sync into my iphone, so I can enjoy it at lunch time at work.
    Thanks for you help in advance.

    The iPhone cannot play AVI videos. You'll need to convert them before you can load and play them on your iPhone. If you search the Using iTunes for Windows forum for "video convert", you'll find a lot of threads on this subject already.
    I bought some TV show DVD ( like Grey's anatomy, House, etc.)
    Sorry, but DVDs are copy-protected and cannot legally be converted. It's a violation of the Discussions terms of use to talk about such ripping.

  • How to import .avi movies to ipad

    hey can anyone please tell me how to omport .avi movies to ipad

    AVI is a file container, not a codec type.
    This is the only AVI type supported: Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    For all other AVI's containing other codecs, you will have to download a third party player-anyplayerhd, avplayerhd, cinexplayer, etc.
    Look in the app store.

  • HT4428 No aduio when playing renting movies on Apple TV 2 gen

    No aduio when renting movies on Apple TV 2 gen, Previews have sound but once purchased (rented) no sound. I have Sony WEGA 3LCD about 6 years old.

    The limitation of approximately 200 titles has been discussed before, we can't be sure whether it will be something that gets fixed or not. I'm not really sure what your other issues are, if I use search instead of lists, I find whatever I want and am able to rent or purchase subject to those options being available for that particular title.
