The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.
Therefore to clarify:
- You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
- This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
- You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
- You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

- 20" Intel iMac 2.4 Ghz/3G Ram/320HD, Snow Leopard. PBook G4, 1.5Ghz/1.5 Ram/250 HD, Leopard 10.5.6.
From what format?
Handbrake handles most codecs, so I would say get that, it's free.
A bit more info about what you want to convert would help though.

VisualHub is definitely worth the money. ffmpegX is good, but tricky sometimes. You can use VLC to convert as well, there are instructions on my site www.osxtechtips.com

I never had trouble with Quicktime Pro - perhaps try re-installing it and see if it fixes the unexpected crashes?
Also I think Roxio Crunch or Popcorn offers similar functionality. I never messed with any of the free programs though, I have Final Cut Studio 2 through work so I use that for all my video projects, big and small.

The OP doesn't tell enough information for a good response. First, does the movie play all the way through in QTPro? What is the codec (file format) of the movie and what codec are they trying to convert it to? Oh, and my favorite, what version of QTPro are they using?
Changing software may or may not help. But start with the free ones mentioned above.
