Best Free Video Converter for Touch?

[Solarpolitiks]

Title says it all, really. Was wondering what the best free converter is. Preferably not losing too much quality and converting from xvid, etc.

So far, the best I have found is called Handbrake.

Totally worth the $37 to get the AVS4YOU suite which would do what you ask and assloads more ... Heck, maybe you already own it

DVDFab works great also.

I use ffmpeg with the following arguments -

ffmpeg -i "video.flv" -b 300k -s 480x320 -vcodec libxvid -ab 128k -ar 24000 -acodec libfaac "output.mp4" -qscale 1 -vol 1024

free and reasonably quick.

Well you also got Super:

I always have trouble finding the download link but it is there....somewhere. (just grabbed the updated version, you have to click thru 2 links to get to the page with the download link).


And you also got Auto Gordian Knot: (which probably only does xvid but is useful.)

I second Handbrake, it's free and it has presets for iPod, iPad, and all that other iCrap out there.

Ughh.. I'd rather saw my hand OFF than use Handbrake. Horrible piece of software. I'm sure it does the job, but I'd rather recreate a Picasa with GIMP.
