Video convertor help

[Greyfox]

I need a program that converts video. Mainly to MPEG -4 but every program i have looked at you have to buy. Is there any free programs out there that do the job or any er cough cracks to get paid programs for free?

Atube catcher or SUPER will both do this, for free.

Im probably just beign thick but i just tried to convert a saved avi video to mpeg 4 and selected the 'source' as the video i wnated to encode. I then tried to select the 'save to' to just a folder on my desktop but atube is having none of it and wont let me select that folder. infact it wont let me save it anywhere. The only thing i can select is the video itsself that i want to encode or anything else of the same file type. what am i doing wrong?

The "save to" field should be exactly the same as the source, am I right? If so, just change the extension to mp4. Or use SUPER, it's probably better

winavi mpeg4,ipod,psp3gp, will do it no problem fast as well

thats what i thoguht but whenever i go to convert the file all i get is '(name of folder im trying to save file to)does not exhist the file may have been moved or deleted do you want to create it?'

and also 'the file name, directory name or volume label syntax are incorrect'

any ideas? will give super ago instead now.
