I saw another thread like this but it didn't really seem to address my issue. I used to be running a PC and had AVS video converter. It converted all types of files like MPG, MP4, AVI, stuff that like is what I need, to convert videos I download in MPG to MP4 to put on my iPod. Ideas? Thanks guys!

Handbrake does a good, if slow job.

HandBrake

Toast Pro will also convert but you have to pay for that.

Any news on this? Handbrake won't let me use avi files as a source for transcoding. Need one to convert the movies my camcorder records (avi format) into mp4 for an Ipod.

See if you can find a copy of Visualhub (now discontinued but still works) or VideoMonkey (free).

This was helpfull. Thanks. I want to make AVI files from DVD, but no software does it. Only convert to MP4. But I want AVI.
There are other applications to do it?

You want to make AVI files from a DVD? Ah, its usually the opposite way around.

Handbrake, as you say, makes MP4s ... but those can of course be converted to AVIs using various different programs, I happen to like MPEG Streamclip (free) for this but there are lots of other options.
