Thanks for this reference, the upgrade costs $US29.99 and Apple says
(why, that's just 8 cents a day for a year)!

But Apple is overlooking the fact that people have paid a lot to get
their iPods, and if this is the only way of successfully converting
home movie files, it is going to be very unpopular with a lot of people!

I tried a few other conversion programs, but none of the Mpeg4 Mov
or h264 avi files were accepted by iTunes 6.

So if anyone knows of a conversion program that converts .avi to iTunes6
that works properly, please post details, thanks!
