Converting .avi to .mp4 whilst keeping high quality/suitable aspect ratio?

Converting .avi to .mp4 whilst keeping high quality/suitable aspect ratio?

What do you all use? I've been trying to convert an episode of My Name Is Earl for about an hour now but each time it changes the aspect ratio. I've tried Xilisoft Ipod Video Converter and Videora Ipod Converter so far with no luck..

Fullscreen videos are fine but widescreen is causing problems

Ahh I sorted it. Used Videora

Incase anyone else has this problem, I used the following settings:

Cheers- I've just been downloading the ones that were already converted for psp but some of the apect ratios are a bit dodgy

I dunno if those settings will convert all videos properly but it's a start. U can also up the bit rates to improve quality although the same I did with the lower settings looks perfect.

Anyone know any MPEG converters that'll allow aspect ratio changes?

I've tried Cucusoft, Main Concept, WinAvi, Xillisoft etc but the closest I get is with WinAvi but it keeps tearing the video

wild guess here but does TMPGenc not do it?

Oh my god.. and I call myself a nerd.

I think it may well do.

parties all round then

Well scrap my method for converting full length films. I get an annoying audio/video sync problem half way through the movie :evil: Same happens in Xilisoft only it's a lot faster to convert. I thought the extra time taken by Videora must be due to sync corrections or something

fuck all those, canpous procoder is what you need.

and ive used em all
