Wanting to convert some avi files to mp4 to watch on my ipod on the plane.

Formatted my computer since the last time i done it, any recommendations for what program to use?

Want it to still be in sync.

Cheers
 
It could be Handbrake,

http://handbrake.fr/

It's the best freeware program to encode a DVD to mp4 and mkv.

Judging by this note here

Supported Sources:

  • Any DVD-like source: VIDEO_TS folder, DVD image or real DVD (unencrypted--protection methods including CSS are not supported internally and must be handled externally with third-party software and libraries), and some .VOB and .TS files
  • Most any multimedia file it can get libavformat to read and libavcodec to decode.
I think that means (the second) that it will read and re-encode an AVI.

It's a good program to have anyway if you don't already. Use a ripper to copy the protected DVD to your hard disk and use Handbrake to encode it to mp4 or mkv.

I'm a Mac user, so QuickTime Pro using the free Perian QuickTime plug-in for avi playback does that. Handbrake, with VLC Media Player installed should also work for both Mac OS X and Windows. The free MPEG Streamclip, again using Perian (also free) does it for Mac, and the Windows version of MPEG Streamclip will also work when using the basic K Lite codec for avi playback.

There are plenty of other options I'm sure, and this photo is of MPEG Streamclip for Mac using Perian for avi playback, which would be the same for Windows when using the K Lite codec...
