Can anyone recomend a converter that wil take files from most media types to mp4 for ipod use?
The one in Itunes is ok, but takes ages.
Who’s having a bet one of the reply’s will not be a TPR member and have the words apple & convertor in their SIG link

tends to be the best one Ive used… I know its not free but at current exchange rate works out at £13 bargain 
I am using nidesoft ipod video converter which provides an easy and completed way to convert iPod video, iPhone video from all popular video files. It can convert almost all kinds of Movie/Video format, such as MP4, MP4 AVC, H.264, WMV, MP3 , WMA, AAC.etc.
given this thread has been resurrected i can heartly recomend total video converter… does exactly what is required 
Have several programs we use, but by far this is my favorite:
VideoStudio Pro X2
