Now i'd like to convert these files to mp4. I've seen a number of examples online about how to do this using either ffmpeg or mencoder. I'm using FreeBSD 9.2-p2, and i'm just wondering if anyone can recommend which program to use for best results. I haven't done this before so advice would be really helpful. Cheers, Jamie.
