video to MP4 coverter (open source/free)

[KleinBoontjie]

I need a AVI/video to MP4 converter. Free/open source.
I need to free up some space on my HDD and understand that MP4 gives better compression.

Any suggestions

I use handbrake, it doesnt tax my system resources, use it on my work pc while im at work to convert all my AVI files to Mp4.

Another plus for handbrake - and there's a Linux version too (or maybe that should read there's a Windows version).
