All these programs seem to be wrappers around Mencoder, I`ve found that audio sync is a recurring problem.

Format Factory?

Just downloaded. Works a treat and fast too.

Superb find!

Have a try of Leawo MP4 converter, the free cut down version does AVI's and it will also stack them up if you have a few to do.

It doesn't do AVI's.

Thank you. Thought I was going mad.

Another vote for this bundle of anyformat-to-anyformat fun. Windows only, if I recall.

[teclo]

is that the 3gp converter?

Yes it is, I stripped it down and used it to make batch files. I can now drag whole folders, drives or even just single files to it and it will convert to ipod or walkman format. I'm quite happy with it.

It says "no valid title found"

Tested his on several AVI.

Could be something alone the lines that AVI is not a format in itself a container of another format.

ffmpegX does the job well but has lots of fiddly little options so you can really fudge it up...

I use this wierd Japanese one which uses mplayer and some other things, but I've hacked about with it so I can have multiple versions to convert for my ipod or my walkman or whatever. Easy peasy

Handbrake.

++

It has presets to match the output codec to ipod processing power and screen resolution, so you'll get the best result without having to configure much.

I use that and it does the lot. Free and never had an issue with it

It works on mine (on Mac). Sorry, my knowledge is now exhausted

Edit: I also use MPEG Streamclip.
