Re: [Apple iPod] iPod Touch

There is some confusion here. AVI is *not* a codec. It is a "container"
format that can contain just about any audio/video content.

The most common use of the .avi filename extension is for video torrents,
which mostly (always?) use the DivX/Xvid codec.

IOW avi = DivX/Xvid in practice.

PS I'd bet that in a year's time, 64 GB flash will cost what 32 does now.
