iOS platform doesn’t allow you play some certain kind of movie by default, its set to play only friendly formats like MP4, MOV or M4V; which leaves the avi format to conversion. If you are using iOS devices for the very first time, you’ll definitely find it frustrating to even upload avi videos to your iPad/iPhone device except you first convert it.

I’m going to show you simple ways you can watch all types of movie format on your iOS devices without any form of conversion to MP4.


How Can I Watch Any Kind of Movie Format on my iOS Device (Using iTunes Upload)

There are many handful video players but I’m just going to center on Oplayer and VLC… both video player works just fine. You can download Oplayer here or VLC player here

Step 1: Connect the iPad to your computer via its USB cable.
Step 2: Launch iTunes, then select your iPad under "Devices" on the left side of the window.
Step 3: Click the "Apps" tab, then navigate to the "File Sharing" section by scrolling to the bottom of the window.
Step 4: Click "VLC or OPLAYER" in the "Apps" section on the left side of the page. The list of current media files for the VLC/OPLAYER automatically appears on the right side of the page under "Documents."
Step 5: Click the "Add" button at the bottom of the "VLC Documents" or PLAYER box. Then "Choose a File" window opens.
Step 6
Navigate to the video you want to add to VLC or OPLAYER, then click the "Choose" button. The video is automatically added to the VLC player on your iPad. Click the "Add" button again to add more videos.

Alternatively, Using Wireless Upload

You can transfer video over Wi-Fi via OPLAYER or VLC
==> Open VLC app on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and tap on “Done” to skip the intro (or flip through it and learn a bit more about VLC if you want)

==>Tap on the Cone icon in the upper corner
==>Look for the “WiFi Upload” switch and toggle it to the ON position

=>Make note of the IP address that is listed (in this example, http://192.168.1.11)

==>From any computer (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, etc) open any web browser

==>Enter the IP address into the URL bar of the web browser exactly as provided from VLC (example: http://192.168.1.11), this loads the VLC upload client running in iOS into a web browser

==>Drag and drop movie file(s) you want to copy to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch into this window, or click the + button to select them in the file system manually

==> Let the upload process complete the file transfer from the computer to iOS

Now that you’ve copied a movie or video file over, you can watch it from the iPhone / iPad!
