I don't want to play avi on the P... I want to convert mp4 to avi on
the PC

I was going to suggest videolan VLC to stream the mp4 into
whatever form you like but searching for 'freeware mp42avi'
on google returns only one result. I'd try it.

: So I can convert other avis to mp4 to play back on the phone?

Havent't come across any freeware mpeg/avi/mov/vob <-> mp4/3gp
converters, but some of your shareware/commercial options come
from mpegable, sorenson, artech365, riverpast, packetvideo,
apple (quicktime pro).

You'd get much better quality if you used Smartmovie on the phone
to play AVI (divx/xvid/3ivx) files and Virtualdubmod to
convert your source material.

Have now. It can be a bit of a kludge and lacks some features
one would hope to have but otherwise PSP Video 9 does the job
quite nicely.
