1. HandBrake

Originally only a DVD ripping tool, Handbrake evolved into more of a universal video converter with its most recent release. Now it can handle pretty much anything you throw at it and then spit it back out in a new format. It's well-polished, solid, reliable, and just an overall pleasure to use. Yes, I'm groveling so go and check it out.

2. ffmpegX

The great thing about ffmpegX is that it's based on a large collection of Unix tools which give it excellent power and flexibility, plus it's wrapped in a simple drag and drop interface. The variety of formats it supports is quite extensive and the level of customization it offers is almost too much. That is, if there was such a thing.

3. MPEG Streamclip

Drag your video clip into the window and export to your chosen format -- that's all there is to it with MPEG Streamclip. If you require some extra control over the final product, there are a ton of options for that too. Is it a pretty program? No. Is it functional? Oh yeah.

4. MediaCoder

If you're willing to delve headfirst into the software, MediaCoder is a capable program loaded with terrific conversion features. The interface, though bewildering at first glance, is relatively straightforward once you learn your way around, offering a boatload of customizable features for converting video to a specified output format of your choice. Whether you want to batch process a number of AVI files to MPEG or compress files for a reduced memory footprint, MediaCoder can handle it (albeit with a throwback design).

5. iSquint

Sadly, development on iSquint has been discontinued, at least in its current form. The good news is you can still get your hands on this helpful utility and it continues to work great at converting videos for iTunes. Eventually a new version will be released under a new name (it's in open source development at the moment), but in the meantime you can enjoy all of its current benefits.

Above are 5 five free video converters for you. While, searching online we find there are still many users are looking for a professional video converter for Mac OS X.
