Free software for Mac to convert video files.

Westvleteren

Can anyone recommend some free software for my Mac so I can convert a .m4V file to MPEG1?

Doesn't convert m4v files.

This will convert M4V to MPEG but doesn't say which one, though you can probably use something else to do that after it has been converted from M4V

Try video-monkey . I have not used it but it seems to do what you want and is OS 10.7 compatible.

Why do you want to encode to MPEG1? It is obsolete. MPEG2 (DVD, HDV) or MPEG4v10 (just about everything else incl Blu-ray, H.264, XDCAM, etc). Nothing has used MPEG1 in the last decade - are you sure you really want it?

What are you trying to achieve?

Kt26 is my sister. I ripped a DVD using handbrake for her but then found out her TV which has a USB port on it would only read MPEG1 files from the USB stick.
