converting mp4 video file

Post by Bob Garage »

I've got a number of mp4 video files that i'd like to convert to avi or mpeg2.

Anyone know of a good tool that could do this for me?

I'd already tried pazera but found I lost far too much picture quality no matter what settings I was using for conversion.
