I just got a new Sony Walkman NWZ-E436FRED 4 GB Digital player and I converted a few movies to it. I used Any Video Converter and it worked great but that was a trial program. So I was wondering are there any solid free programs that could convert vids to 320x240 mp4?
it works half the time. this is what I get when I try to convert a movie. ### Windows GUI 0.9.3 2008112300 ### Running: Microsoft Windows NT 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 ### ### CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz ### Ram: 2047 MB ### Screen: 1440x900 ### Temp Dir: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\ ### Install Dir: D:\DVD COPY TO PC\handbrake ### Data Dir: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\HandBrake\HandBrake\0.9.3.0 ######################################### ### CLI Query: -i "D:\DVD COPY TO PC\MOVIE\Capitalism.mp4" -t 1 -c 1 -o "D:\DVD COPY TO PC\MOVIE\Capitalism.mp4-1-1-1.mp4" -f mp4 -w 320 -l 240 -e ffmpeg -b 150 -a 1 -E faac -B 160 -R 0 -6 dpl2 -D 1 -v ######################################### [17:38:44] hb_init: checking cpu count [17:38:44] hb_init: starting libhb thread HandBrake 0.9.3 (2008112300) - http://handbrake.fr/ 4 CPUs detected Opening D:\DVD COPY TO PC\MOVIE\Capitalism.mp4...

FormatFactory is by far the best video/audio converting software I have found on the net so far. Give it a shot, that's what I use for everything. I even converted videos to 3gp and they worked on my crap LG Rumour phone
