Most people use Handbrake I believe.

FFmpeg

FFmpeg if you enjoy compiling and command line
FFmpegX if you want an easy to use GUI.

i didn't know you could use handbreak to just convert files. i thought it was only for ripping dvds.

I love VisualHub/iSquint. But handbrake works too...

As of version 0.9.3 it will work on most video formats, not just VIDEO_TS folders.

If you're converting the old MS AVI container ffmpeg would work. I'm not sure if Handbrake does the old AVI format from MS.

so you can take a video file from your pewter and reformat in hand break??
you dont have to mount it as a disk image or anything?
