Looking For A Video Converter

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.

Nope. Let me look into it.

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 is what I use:
Evom - Convert and Download Videos to iTunes

Thanks

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.
