    I want to convert some shows I'm watching and put them on my ipod. What's the best program to do this?

    I haven't tried any of these, but they are the NoNags favorites. (NoNags is my favorite site for finding good legitimately free software)

    Movavi Video Converter

    Quick Media Converter has FFMPEG at it's core.

    WinFF, a gui shell for FFMPEG

    If you don't mind a command line utility, then just use FFMPEG itself, and I wish you luck in command-line-switch hell...

    Does that FLV to X convert from formats other than FLV to formats other than FLV? The site doesn't say, and the title of the post mentions AVI to MP4...

    My apologies. Yeah they do, just need proper codecs. Just earlier i converted avi to H264. The sub and the video worked fine on the phone. I have also tried iphone mpeg 4 format. That worked fine. As for the rest not sure since i havent tried them. I mostly use it to convert FLVs and avi to fit my phone res.

    You can always download the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 trial and use that...
