Program to Convert avi

I am looking for a program to convert avi files to another format so I can watch them on my xbox's dvd player. My Xbox won't read the avi format for some reason.

So, what do you guys suggest?
 
I am trying MPEG screenclip, so hopefully it will work great. I just want to be able to convert it, so I can put it on a DVD to watch on my xbox's DVD player. I put the avi formatted DVD in a average DVD player, and the disc worked great.
 
for some reason, the convert started up really fast and then it really slowed down towards the end. It is converting about a 800mb avi file, so do you think thats the reason its so slow?

Will this solve my DVD player problems on my Xbox360? I just want to be able to burn this onto a DVD and then be able to watch it on my Xbox.

Thanks for the help.
 
For some reason after I converted the avi file into the Mp4, it won't even play on my computer anymore. Whats the deal!
 
Depends on computer and conversion program but Handbrake usually encodes at about 30-70fps depending on computer. My Air or older MB vs. new MBP for instance.
 
Same story with attemp #2. The mp4 was created, but when I try to play it, nothing plays. Black screen.
 
Maybe you are trying to encode with a codec you do not have installed ... 😕 Don't know why MPEG SC would do that but, install Perian.
 
You could also use VLC* (File > Streaming/Exporting Wizard... > Transcode/Save to file) & iSquint comes to mind but not sure.

*on a side note, between QuickTime & VLC I'm good for video playback...no need for flip4mac, et al.
 
I actually already have VLC, I just tried to Export it to MPEG and the program shut down. I don't know why I am having the worst time doing this. I promise I am not the dumbest member on here! I hope not at least!
