which is the best video converter???

I recommend Blaze Media Pro.

It's definitely one of the best I have seen. It's a shareware. Checkout its features:

Simply the best.

if u need to convert dvd to divx/xvid...i bet autogk is the best.

i use AVS Video converter.did anybody try out that.i feel its best

AutoGK rules. But it only converts to DivX and XviD.

blaze media pro, surely the best, you get a lot of choices in it...

Dr.Divx is best.... and if u want to use for personal purpose not for corporate then every s\w on earth is free

If you want to convert from DVD to any other format, go for InterVideo DVD Copy.

If you want to convert AVI files to MPEG1 or MPEG2, the best software available is CCE SP (CCE : Cinema Craft Encoder). CCE SP is a shareware and if you want to buy it, you will have to shed about 1 Lakh from your pocket...But no doubt, it is the BEST encoder available.

For more information on stuff related to Video, go to www.doom9.org or www.afterdawn.com

@go4saket..... yes , i solely agree to that, but its just an adobe premire plugin...oops forgot ...its a standalone plugin too...

but very very very effective

Blaze Video Magic does a good job though

go for the Xilisoft video converter software...i just recently downloaded it and it has the ability to convert into any format imaginable
.rm
.mov
.3gp
.mp4
.avi (divx)
xvid
and so on....it also supports the formats for ipod etc...truly super
for 35$ its not bad

or else you can choose total video convertor too...
