Looking for the best video converter to convert an AVI file to the MP4 format.
I'm facing an issue of compatibility with AVI files, and now I want them to be converted into the MP4 format so that the problem gets solved. plz recommend me an effective converter.
Earlier, I used to use (link to expensive software removed), which is good, but I need a new software.

Please do not post spam but video is a subject of interest.

Both avi and mp4 are just wrappers around the video "flavour" - the codec used can vary widely.

If comfortable with command line then FFmpeg is the tool. Lots of how to's if you search,  https://ffmpeg.org/
It can be as simple as: ffmpeg -i input.avi -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mp4

If you want a GUI then I use AviDemux for most things https://avidemux.sourceforge.net/
