Somehow I've managed to get myself included in my friends film project, and have agreed to do some video converting for him. Now I have had little experience with any media conversion tools, so something relatively simple would be good. I would like to convert mpeg to avi and visa-versa primarily, although being able to produce dvd burnable files would be useful too, anything else is just gravy.
Anyone have any suggestions? I don't mind if it's not free so long as it is worth it, though free would of course be better.
