    Hi. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on good video file converters such as .AVI to MPEG-4 as I want to convert some videos and put it on my iPod. I'm currently running the latest version of 10.4. Thank you!

    Install the k-lite codec pack and use virtualdub.

    Isn't that Windows only?

    I've found VisualHub very easy to use

    I can't find Super! for OS X...I assume the program is created by erightsoft? If so, I could only find an install file for Windows.

    Visual Hub is a lot better than Handbrake. It's compatible with what you need and easier to use.

    FFmpegx is another option, which is also free - VisualHub is not. If you're willing to pay, however, I'm sure VisualHub suits your needs.

    Visualhub is great. But if you want free, you can't beat Handbrake.

    VisualHub. It is worth the price.

    iSquint is the free version of VisualHub but it's limited to only convert to iPod formats
