I have a load of holiday video's taken on the parents-in-law's sony handycam(shakes fist at sony). Unfortunately it encodes them as mpeg-2, so bar using the sony software (which doesn't work under Mac OS X), I can't view them using Quicktime (VLC works of course). I'd like to be able to use quicktime (to play in front-row) and also iMovie to edit these films.

What piece of software will allow me to convert these mpeg-2 files to mpeg-4 or similar, with the greatest of ease? Does the mplayer for Mac OS X include the mencode utility?

Help would be greatly appreciated :)

p.s; Solutions must be free :D
