VOB\MPG to AVI conversion

Anyone out there got a good freeware file conversion program they can send me or link to? I want to convert some VOB and MPG files to AVI to reduce the file size but I can't find one that works.

I downloaded AlltoAVI from www.videohelp.com and it converts the file to avi but I just get the sound no picture, grrr!

So any help and recommendations would be appreciated.

 

have a look on http://www.download.com/ there is loads on there that are free.

 

The Gordian Knot. It's an open source suite that'll do just what you want. I'd start with AutoGK which is an easier version. There are downloads and tutorials here

 

I've had a lot of success with avi.net which can be found at www.clonead.co.uk.

 

thanks guys. i've tried svinet so far which has def worked, took a 190MB MPG file and converted it to 34MB AVI, fantastic.

I will try the Gordian Know when I have some more time to see how they compare on conversion quality.

Thanks a lot guys!

 

Handbrake?
