I want to load some video files onto my iphone, and have been using AVS video converter to change .avi files to .m4v. It works great, but you can't make a queue of files, and I have a lot that I want to convert. Any suggestions? Don't mind paying a little if it's a quality product.
 
Handbrake's queue system is awful. You can try MediaCoder, though you may also try iPodME. iPodME has an excellent drag-and-drop interface that's perfect for big queues, but don't expect much in the way of tuning.
 
They're both containers, so.. just get an MP4 muxer and avi demuxer and you're golden. ffmpeg comes to mind. Something like 'ffmpeg -i input.ext -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.mp4' should do.
 
HandBrake, of course, but that'll always be my blanket recommendation for video conversion these days...
 
I have been using WinAvi for years, it works well, but it is starting to feel out dated. I might buy the newest version (10), but I think I will give EncodeHD a shot first.

Thanks
 
I believe Super can convert to m4a.

I know it's queueing setup works well.

iPod/iPhone/iTunes converter Convert any supported input file to an iPod/iPhone/iTunes. Convert iPod/iPhone/iTunes files to any other format.
The rendered MP4 iPod/iPhone/iTunes files are created using the most advanced H.264/AVC, MPEG-4 or XviD video codecs.
When selecting the "Apple - iPod / iPhone (mp4)" profile, check the "Disable Video" switch to render a valid "Apple AAC audio for iTunes".

Can't you just remux the avis to m4vs. Those aren't codecs.. encoding wouldn't be required.
