How to convert videos to be imported in iMovie for free

Hi,

these days I'm preparing a funny video to be shown at the wedding party of one of my best friends. For that, I asked all our friends to send me short clips of greetings or jokes.

But then I received clips in whatever format...and iMovie does not accept many formats actually... :-(

So I started to google to find free tools to get them converted in Quicktime .mov easily.

After many trials I ended up with this list:

- mpg (muxed) --> mov : "ffmpegx"

- AVI --> mov : "ffmpegx"

- wmv --> mov : "HandBrake"
