How to play AVI videos on iPhone 5S/5C without any issues

AVI (Audio-video Interleave) is a container format introduced by Microsoft. While there are multiple differing codecs that can be used within an AVI file, Motion JPEG is a type of .AVI compression. According to Apple's iPhone 5 tech specs, the iPhone 5S/5C does support M-JPEG .AVI files, but there's no indication that the specific XviD codec (encoding/decoding) is supported. In fact neither Apple iTunes nor the stock player on iPhone 5S/5C supports DivX/ Xvid encoded .AVI videos.

As far as i know, AVI videos compressed with Xvid/DivX are not accepted by iTunes. To sync Xvid .AVI files to iPhone 5S/iPhone 5C, you can convert AVI to H.264 .mp4 format and then add the converted videos to iTunes. An iPhone 5S/5C Video Converter can do the job for you.
