Theres a few good apps that can do this and they work very well too. If you are jailbroken then get vlc player in cydia.

Hi
I had same problem it's because the iPad reads mp4 so had to convert the files, didn't know about app's will give them ago.
Does the film have to be downloaded to the iPad first or as I do download to iMac the move over with iTunes ( unless someone knows easier way )

avi is a container format, it's able to contain different audio and video codec, so, some avis may be supported, while some may be played with issues, it's difficult for us to figure out, you may give it a try, if not supported, just convert it

To play those and MKV's I use the VLC media player app, I don't have a jail broken iPad, but I caught the App before it was pulled from the store. you can try downloading the .ipa file, and drag/dropping it into Itunes. I also have another app called Anyplayer HD, but I haven't tried it out yet.

you download your avi movie to your desktop and then drag into the app itself on itunes. All the apps have full instructions on how to do this.
