Hey ya Vince! You're an absolute star! Yup, they are very accessible with
jaws, easy to use and fairly quitck. Only one I found a problem with was
the main one I wanted which was for the apple tv. I got to 49 percent of a
conversion of a 725 meg .avi file and we'd taken over 6 hours for that! I
scrapped it and used the mp4 converter which did exactly the same thing but
only took about ten or fifteen mins to convert. I imported the end result
into itunes and was instantly able to watch the film on my apple tv with
airplay in the lounge on the other side of the house! Absolutely excellent!
Cheers mate!
BTW Apple TV is totally awesome! And really accessible!

Steve, you could try DVDVideosoft converters. I aven't used those that deal
with Apple producs, but the others that I have tried are usable with a
screen reader.

There's a large suite of these media converters, all free.

have you tried the realplayer converter?
it is a bit fiddley at first, but can be made to work, at least with
window-eyes. it also has an import to itunes feature built in to it.
I will say however, that I don't know if it works with those file
types, as I have mainly used it to convert files downloaded from youtube,
and unfortunately don't have any of either of the file types you want to use
in my video library, so can't check to see if it does or doesn't.

Hi All,
Anyone suggest any accessible file conversion utilities to
convert .avi or dvx files to a format you can import into itunes?
Thanks for your help!
