What is the best conversion software for videos. I have videos in all types of formats cause I use VLC for my HTPC, but I have no idea what software to use to convert them so that I am able to watch them on my apple devices while traveling.

Thanks

Handbrake is good, however I use an all in one programme called iFlicks which adds metadata to the files too.

I will see how Hankbrake works right now, and if it doesnt seem good enough, I will try iFlicks.

Thanks guys.

VLC also exists for Apple devices so there's no need to convert

VLC is entirely software based decoding, which will just murder battery life

Hardware decoding is much easier on the battery, so native formats will be better

I use smart converter pro. It works perfect and plops it into your iTunes library. Fairly quick and very simple to use.

I also recommend handbrake. Works perfectly for me.

Still on original, not gonna buy iFlicks 2 until it's absolutely necessary.

If you are happy with VLC for other uses, most likely you will happy with Handbrake in terms of resulting video quality.

VLC is a requirement for Handbrake as the latter uses the former for transcoding.
