Indeed Media Coder is very useful but when it comes to transcoding between formats, it’s interface is unwieldy and confusing. A better interface is provided by SUPER © (http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html) which includes mencoder and ffmeg: encoding between different formats is easy and the site provides ample instructions on how to get the right results. Another tool is SimpleDivX (http://www.simpledivx.org/main/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1)
which can also incorporate mencoder.
er, that should be ffmpeg!
