There are all sorts of video converters, but none of the good ones are free. The good ones are usually fully configurable and convert all types of video into another type as well as set up the screen parameters. I use one to put video, either from a DVD or from a Digital TV recording (MP4) onto my BlackBerry Storm, my iPod, or Laptop. They will also convert the FLV files from Youtube to play on an IPod or other device. I use the Daniusoft suite. I think that I paid au$39.00 for the whole suite, DVD & Video files.
