Can anyone suggest a good mov (Quicktime) to Mpeg converter other than TMPGEnc. It will be a bonus if it's Freeware

I downloaded the freeware TMPGEnc from http://www.tmpgenc.net/en/e_about.html
"TMPGEnc converts *.AVI file to MPEG1, the format which is used in VideoCD. Using variety of option in TMPGEnc, you can compress your video file in high quality."

And also

" QTReader.vfp - This is a plugin QuickTime reader for the TMPGEnc mpeg encoder. You just copy this file into
TMPGEnc's folder and you should then be able to read any QuickTime movie."
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/4942/svcd.html

After that I installed Quicktime 6.5.1

I could convert a Quicktime mov file to MPEG1. Everything looks OK except the Audio does not work.

I tried converting the sample movie that was included in the Quicktime version 6.5.1 to MPEG1 file. Similarly there was no audio after the conversion even though I checked the audio settings to ensure that I set TMPEGEnc to convert both video and audio.

Does anyone have any idea why this is so ? Thanks

Or can you please suggest an alternative.

in trying to convert some quicktime files to play on my dvd player i had good results with:
http://www.aone-soft.com/quicktimeconverter.htm

Note i did have to do a lot of experimenting to get the format right for my dvd player, like setting framerate and size (the program does that too).

ConvertXtoDVD is my converter of choice

Sothink DVD EZWorkshop (which i haven't tried) pretty much does the same thing.

if you have vlc player installed, you can try it, open the file in vlc, then go to file>wizard>transcode, but it doesnt always work. :D

KMPLayer is free and will allow you to encode as you watch your video. this has the handy feature of being able to record the entire video or just extracts that you want to keep during playback.
