The interface can be intimidating, though, and you'll need some transcoding experience to get the best out of the program. HandBrake is an effective and highly configurable video converter. It's worth adding that HandBrake is 64-bit-only. HandBrake will automatically set all its other options, and all you have to do is click Start and wait for your new video or audio file to arrive. Please take note that is the only official place where HandBrake can be downloaded from. Download Handbrake 0.9.3 here, the last version with AVI output support. If you prefer a simple life, though, you can just choose one of the conversion presets like iPad, iPad or AppleTV. Download Alert and Convert here, it watches a folder and automatically converts the file using HandBrake. Videos can be resized or cropped, for instance, filtered in various ways (deinterlace, denoise, deblock, more), you're able to choose the destination frame rate, or even set a target size for the converted file so you can be sure it'll fit on your target device. You can then choose your output format (MP4 or MKV), and apply whatever additional tweaks you might need.

The program accepts video data in just about any source format, including DVDs (as long as they're unencrypted: commercial DVDs can't be imported unless you install extra libraries). And so while in theory something like an iPhone is great for watching videos on the move, in practice they'll need to be in something like M4V, MP4 or MOV formats, and getting your files converted can be a problem. It's a fundamental law of computing: multimedia files are never in the format you need.
