HandBrake, though it seldom comes up in searches.

.mp4 and .m4v, but you could just use one of the presets in HB, the Apple TV preset for example.

Has anyone Tried Both HandBrake and VisualHub ?

Which one is better and faster ?

Thanks!

Hypothetically, they would be the same. Both are a graphic wrapper for ffmpeg that actually does the encoding.
