best video converting program?

hi all, been using a program called FLV to AVI MPEG WMV 3GP MP4 iPod Converter for years now so i know abit outdated now and was wondering what would be the best replacement?
the primary use of this program is for converting films to mp4 so they can go on a tablet, but ive noticed more and more recently that as more films are mkv and with h264 im getting alot of problems when converting with audio not being in sync.
so any suggests on a replacement program would be much appreciated

Answer #7
I have been using Format Factory for some time and it is quite good. However, if you are particular about the output file sizes then go for Handbrake.
Answer #8
One that I found to be very good, very similar to but more versatile than Handbrake is Xmedia recode.
It offers you a whole stack of output formats besides mkv and mp4, including avi , mov wmv, and so on.
