How to transfer MVI/AVI videos to N7?

[Little Squirt]

Is there some fairly easy way to transfer some video clips I took with my Canon digital cam. several years ago over to my N7 tablet? I got them on to the N7 but it wouldn't OPEN them on it. They are MVI - AVI type files.
I also tried using the free Cuda Video Converter program, but couldn't get that to work either, so uninstalled it. :-\

Google "DVD Catalyst 4" (on tools4movies.com). I think it'll handle your files and the trial version lets you convert 20% of the full length and it's always on sale for $10. I had an issue with it when I was first using the trial and Mitch, the guy who wrote it and does tech support, is amazingly quick and responsive and gracious. Honestly, I can't believe how responsive he is even when you're just on the trial.

I use the default settings for the N7, and play the movies with MX Player. It's all no muss, no fuss for me.

PS: The file format DVDCatalyst selects for the N7 is .mp4 and I've left it at that.

Freemake is the way to go... It works on everything and as the name says, it says free....

Ok, thanks everyone! I ended up d/l the free "Dice Player" app from Google Play Store and it plays all of my .AVI videos very nicely now on my Nexus 7.
