Hi everyone, I'm a new convert from PC, glad to be here!

So this may seem at first read to be another "what software" do i use to convert AVI, DVD, WMV to Mpeg4 but i searched hi and low and i don't think i saw a definitive answer.

I don't mind paying for a good, fast conversion software, but can someone please point me in the right direction?

I hear allot about Handbrake and other free tools, but are the good? I used to use Cucusoft when i used a PC.

Thanks

Never used handbrake. I use VUZE personally it can't possibly any easier. Just drag and drop any format to the left to to the icon of the ipod and bam you get a few options on quality and such and it does the rest for you. I also use it for streaming music/videos to my xbox360, ps3. Also a great torrent downloader.

I'm liking Handbreak, it's a wonder it's free.

LiveD83 also mentioned VUZE. That looks very interesting too.
