If you want to convert movies then ffmpeg is an option. It can also be
used to convert audio only.

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.
Programs should be written for people to read, and only incidentally
for machines to execute.
