According to my opinion, Wondershare Video Converter is the best software for converting any types of videos. It can be used to convert AVI, MP4, MKV, MOV, FLV, 3GP, and more.

Almost all of the video converters out there now can convert just about any video container. Wondershare makes some fine apps, but you got to pay. There are a few good free ones out there. Just depends on how technical you want to get.

WinAvi video converter for me.

Avidemux is fast ,easy and free

Thanks:)

Handbrake is very good and free. Lots of preset profiles to choose from. https://handbrake.fr/

all the software are good which are available online and free on the google search engine

I like handbrake due to the lack of bundled crap that comers with some of the others I've tried. It doesn't support graphics card acceleration buy it's incredibly quick with the Intel CPU acceleration.

Wondershare Video Converter Free. It is recognized as the fastest video converter for Windows.

Handbrake. Handbrake is available on different platforms Windows Mac and Linux.

Format Factory.

Freemake Video Converter.

MPEG Streamclip.

AVS Media Converter.

Ffmpeg.

Mcfunsoft video conversion guru

Anything good for Windows that can use Intel Quick Sync Video (hardware-accelerated x264 encoding)? My processor supports that, and I tried Handbrake, but wasn't able to make it work after configuring it. Encoding would get stuck at 0% and never output anything.

I very rarely convert video nowadays, but it'd be nice to take advantage of that capability if possible. In the past, I used viDrop (a mencoder frontend) to transcode TV and movies for my portable media player, but that was nearly a decade ago. I remember the thing required AVI with XviD video at 320x240 and MP2 audio, and absolutely no other combinations would work... thankfully this isn't something most people have to worry about anymore.

There are many software that can be used to convert video files. But for you, I would suggest using Wondershare Free Video Converter, Format Factory, and MediaCoder. Using them aptly can help in converting your files with ease.

Format Factory best software to convert video files

Format Factory is a free multifunctional converter software that's able to convert all types of video, audio and image files. Complete, powerful and free, it's a must-have conversion tool.
Conversions galore
Before transferring files onto a mobile device (like iPhone, iPad, or Android), console (PS3, Xbox 360 and PSP) or burning them onto a disc for playback on a TV or sound system, it might be necessary to convert them into formats that are compatible with the device in question.
Format Factory is a comprehensive piece of software that lets you convert almost any file format. For files featuring multiple media formats, Format Factory can handle it all, including audio, video, and images, as well as offering a multitude of choices for the output format. It also lets you adjust the encoding quality of your files between low, medium and high.
With Format Factory, you also get some bonus features, including extracting the contents of a CD or DVD onto your PC, as well as an option to merge video and audio files.
How does it work?
To convert files with Format Factory, everything happens in a column on the left-hand side of the interface. This allows you to select the destination type (audio, video, and image) and which codec you'd like to use. For video conversions, we'd recommend using the "Mobile Device" option, which guides you in choosing the format according to the device you own.
Format Factory lets you add files to batch convert for convenience. Few advanced options are available, and as a result, only minimal adjustments can be made, although this means that it's easy to use. Complete help for beginners is also available, which explains the features of the software.
Format Factory is also available in 62 languages, and you can customize its interface with 4 different skins. For those who don't want to install it on their PC, you can download the mobile version, to use with a USB key, for example.

Best: AVStoDVD with HCEnc.
Easiest: Freemake Video Converter.

I like Acrok Video Converter Ultimate.

Handbrake gets my vote.

I would have to agree Handbrake has worked great for me also.

viDrop and Handbrake, though I can't get the latter to use my processor's hardware-accelerated encoding for some reason :ermm:

I'm a big fan of AVIDemux (http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/). It is open source. It is light in features though and I only use it to convert 1 format to another.

If you pay (or use dodgy adware utils) you are doing it wrong. Years ago french uni students wanted free 'cable' and designed computer software systems that went on to become ffmpeg and VLC- the defacto open source video methods that do everything. X264 and X265- entirely free and open source- became the best encoders on the planet for MP4 ASP and HEVC. It's all free guys- the best vid stuff in the world is all free.

The codecs and libraries don't do the GUI stuff- which is where for the naive it becomes a minefield. Paid or free, the devs are using the same free codebases- and the paid solutions are usually techniaclly ILLEGAL (breaking the open source license which, yes does have full legal validity). Worse, the paid solutions are usually horribly coded and limited. They sell to fools on supposed 'simplicity'.

Smart people get that video/sound work has a bit of a learning curve- but the advantage of climbing this curve is that you will handle sound and video much better, for free, with better tools.

VLC player itself can encode , but the interface is the pits. Handbrake is a good start (remember, handbreak is just a shell around the same code used by VLC player and all the other open source and paid solutions).

Sadly the open source video editors are mostly very limited or crap. If you are doing complex editing work, a paid tool is probably needed. But encoding, re-encoding or simple editing, and free will be fine.

You wanna go to a resource site like doom9 for advice and a list of good tools. No proper free tool has ads. No simply encoder/convertor should cost even one penny. But forums like this one will contain many posts that are really ads for solutions I would never use.

Remember, it is the lazy that gets conned the most. Everything worth doing is worth investing a little time for learning and research. Google and find one of the many resource/advice sites. Do not trust sites that push single solutions- not until doing further research.

PS I know this is sound not vid, but a proggy called fre:ac should be on everyone's list since it not only does all music/sound ripping/conversion, but the dev has coded multi-core versions of the main codecs that can give insane boosts to re-encode speeds on new multi-core AMd/Intel CPUs. Got a new Ryzen CPU- try fre:ac (which is a true free project) to watch your cores get a real work-out. Tho the same 3000 series Ryzen parts are vid encoding monsters thanks to their AVX enhancements over my gen one Zen.

Handbrake is the only program I use

Xvid4PSP5 (The old good free Xvid4PSP5) or Handbrake. Both have worked well for me.
