Hai, so i got an ipod today and now i'm thinking about getting my library of downloaded films/tv shows onto it. It doesn't seem to want to copy onto the ipod in the current format, so i'm looking for a convertor program.

Most of my films are .avi with DivX encoded video, however a few are .mkv and a few are .mp4. So if you know of a convertor that specialies in those formats, please let me know.

Requirements:
1) must not be shit
2) doesn't have to be free

karmaz to good suggestions.

Bumping.

Videroa handles my .avi's fine (although it would be a lot better if it could convert files in batches, adding 100+ videos from different folders manually one by one is a pain), but now i need something that can convert .mkv (matroska) to iPod format.

Again, karmaz to the people who give me a good one

Also if you know of an avi converter that works well and has support for adding loads of files/whole folders at once, then i'd really like one of them too

I know this works because of the mkv films I have on my ipod.

I use Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate for putting videos on my Zune.  It handles just about every file type and doubles as an image and audio converter.  It's free if you know where to look.

Yeah the website is shit. Takes about 10 minutes to find the download link.

I've used Videora for everything. It can also customize the video for your particular iPod model. Check it out, holmes.

i strongly recommend handbrake if it does .mkv files.  i use it to make .mp4s of DVDs and it works perfectly.  a little slow...but perfectly.
