Hi guys check out XMEDIA RECODE:

XMedia Recode 3.0.6.0 - VideoHelp.com Downloads

I think it is the best for newbies... lots of profiles for different devices and great quality ( based on ffmpeg and x264 ), small download size ( 6.9 MB Only )and full freeware ( no ads nothing ). Portable version is also available.
Comes with a lot of user friendly filters ( sharpening, denoising etc). As good as any commercial ones out there.

Yes it supports. I always use it, actually, there's not a single format which I came across that doesn't works with mediacoder. :)

What about stability, I have heard it has a lot of bugs..
And Advertisements..
Speed Compared to Unpatched x264 and Handbrake and other GUI's , MeGUI etc... ??

^MediaCoder is good but FF is the best far better than AVC (any Video Converter) even beats SUPER

FF seems little bloated, SUPER is a shady program, AVC is too user friendly for us geeks, what about

AviDemux, Handbrake: Very User Friendly, Open Source :)) :))
Ripbot: Crippled but good :))
Staxrip, Xmedia Recode: Good balance between settings and user friendliness. :)) :)) :))
MeGUI: Ultimate, most comprehensive, tough, stable, geeky.. w00t! :)) :)) :)) :)) :))

Badaboom(CUDA ENCODER): CRAP
ATI Encoder: CRAP
INTEL QUICKSYNC: CRAP ............ ( Quality Wise )

x264 CLI: Same as MeGUI, looks more geeky.... :)) :)) :)) :))

another good one is XiliSoft Video Converter Ultimate (the fastest converter I have seen) uses all quad core to encode :razz:

FF seems little bloated,
I don't agree..it has plethora of features which many converters lack...

I never faced any unstability issues. Speed is fine at least far better than Super. Rest I haven't tried.

^MediaCoder is good but FF is the best far better than AVC (any Video Converter) even beats SUPER

Haven't tried FF mate, but I'd say Mediacoder>>Super (in every way).

OP is asking for converter & not player...:-D

Yes Bro, even i meant the same
from VLC, i have converted many videos viz. flv, avi to mp4 and vicecersa

Steps i usually follow:
1. Goto Media->Convert/Save...
2. Add the file to be converted then click on the Convert
3. Then set the destination file path with extension(appropriate selection to profile option below would be better)
4. Finally it converts the file!

I guess streaming is nothing but converting in VLC! If not, sorry for misguiding!!

I am not into designing, so i have little knowledge on pixels, resolutions etc.

^^Steaming means to deliver media directly from source to client via your service provider. Like you watch video on youtube.

Format Factory (again). it won't lower size to ridiculously low level but if you have time to play around with the (easy to use) settings, you can get your desired result easily.

Seems good with lot of applications - but size ? 68.57 Mb :confused:
The requirement was just to convert flv to mp4...I think..?

Pazera tool seems better option.
