I like all-in-one solutions, myself, whenever possible. :)  I've taken
a look at Handbrake in the past, and it just never clicked with me.

Well, give Pavtube a try.  The trial version does put an ugly watermark
in the middle of the video, but it does give you the chance to see how
well it converts.  If you don't need Bluray support or the ability to
stitch two videos together, they have cheaper less-featured versions,
too. :)

I know that feeling...
