Current 2007 Best Video Converter?

I'm completely new to the world of encoding essentially, and I'd love a program that could convert pretty much anything to/from anything.

Ability to convert swf to a workable video format would be a plus.

So, any idea as to what the current leader in conversion software is?
(I'll just torrent it, so feel free to recommend expensive ones).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Probably the best movie encoding possible can be done free with MeGUI from http://www.doom9.org , but in terms of anyfiletype to anyfiletype? I would say I havent heard of a do-all program, but AnyDVD by Slysoft is awesome.

Gordian Knot for ease, MeGUI for efficiency. And FYI, the new cool thing is to encode video with H264.

How ya doing, buddy?

If you happen to be using a Mac, the best I've been using is ffmpegX. It's also free which is nice.

It's not free or open source, but I've found that WinAVI Video Convertor can do everything I need it to do. From the website:

Quote:
# AVI to DVD
# AVI to MPEG
# AVI to VCD
# AVI to MPG
# Flash SWF conversion
# It can convert all formats to MPEG1/2, VCD, SVCD, and DVD and burn to VCD, SVCD, or DVD disc.
# It can convert all video formats to AVI/WMV/RM/ASF/Divx/Xvid
# QuickTime MOV conversion.
# Real DVD Navigator encoder included.
# DirectAC3 technology supports AC3 5.1, which is state of the art technology. It is up to 20% faster with AVI files including AC3 audio.
# Real Dolby AC3 audio encoder included.
# Burning VCD/SVCD/DVD.
Theres a free trial available, not sure what the limits are. You probably will want to just torrent it right from the start. If you can't find a torrent, let me know and I can send it to you.

I was speaking idiomatically.

As a last resort I found playing the movie while recording that part of the screen works too. I used Camtasia for that and it's great for making short work of recording movies with interactivity in them a converter wouldn't know how to convert; as long as your computer is fast enough not to lag. As I say it's really a last resort when all else fails method so I'd try the above first

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
