how to convert video files to mpeg4?

does anyone know which program would be best suited for me as i want to convert a mixture of video files including Avi etc to mpeg4 format .

thankyou

I find that the free ffmpegX does a brilliant job of handling just about any video format

It basically opens up hidden conversion routines in Unix that usually need to accessed through terminal commands

Its a little confusing at first since you have to download and link 3 other files that provide some of the conversion, but once set-up it works a treat

also if you got spare money laying around (and if that is the case send some to me!!) try visual hub.

I think you posted in the wrong section (this is audio, there is a 'video' section too )

But I haven't been able to try that yet, but I sure will as soon as I can. Looks nice.

iSquint works like a charm. Only thing I've every used, very simple, but gets the job done. (It's not restricted to just ipod quality, but most people use it for that. I use it for everything and it's just fine.)
