I have an Archos AV700 movie player and need to convert movies to divx format or xvid to play on this player, i used to have a PC and used pocket converter. I have a G4 running 10.4.11. I am also going to get an iphone 4 so could do with something which would convert movies to play on this too and realy need something which can hardcode subtitles into the movie too. Thanks.

I think your better option would be to convert to mp4.

According to this faq: ARCHOS

MPEG-4 SP with B-Frames with stereo sound. Near DVD quality up to 720x480 @ 30 f/s (NTSC), 720x576 @ 25 f/s (PAL), AVI file format (including WMV9 SP protected files) up to 352x288 @ 30 f/s and 800 Kbits

you can get higher quality it seems with mpeg 4 files, so I don't know why you would want to convert to avi... Plus, the iPhone 4 plays mp4 and not avi, so you'll have to convert it to mp4 anyway.

Thanks, will try but still need something to hardcode subtitles. I am now trying to convert to mpg4 with mpeg streamclip but this has no option (which i can find) to add subs.

Take a look at:

Submerge 1.9.3 - VideoHelp.com Downloads

and

AviDemux 2.5.3 - VideoHelp.com Downloads

and

ffmpegx

One of those should be able to do it for you. I'd probably start with submerge since it's specifically designed to hard sub.

Thanks but already tried submerge and this as well as AviDemux wont work on 10.4.11? and can only find pc versions of older versions

ffmpegX a DVD, SVCD, VCD, CVD, VOB, DivX, XviD, H.264, PSP, iPod, MP4, MOV, FLV encoder for Mac OSX

How's ffmpegx? It's pretty versatile. Should be able to do what you want I think
