I am having issues with many of my AVI files not playing "Cannot Play" what format should I use and can someone recommend a freeware converter or just one I can try to find to use?

What operating system, as this makes a small difference.

I am interested in this too. Mainly the format. I am using windows 7 x64.

I've ever have many AVI files also, but they can not be played on my iPhone, so I use this videos converter to tranform them. And it works. Unfortunately, this tool is a paid one.
For free tools, you can try freemake.
