• 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.

Hello,

I use iMovie which produces films in .m4v format.

I need to convert these films into different formats that will be supported by different web browsers, preferably OGG and MPEG (possibly also WEBM).

Can anyone recommend software which which enable me to do this please? if it's free then all the better but would like one application that can support all the above formats.

I run OS 10.5 on a PowerPC (ie not Intel architecture) which limits what software is available to me.

Many thanks

Give Miro Video Converter a try. It can easily do OGG and WebM and it's free.

EDIT: Oops, didn't see that you were using a PPC Mac. This older version might get the job done. It doesn't look like it does WebM though.
