    Free Audio and Video conversion software

    So in 2014/2015 I used Freemake's software for the job, which was fine until I needed to reinstall. Now they instated a 1 min or something demo on their software, rendering it useless unless I fork over money.

    What do you all use these days? Ideally free.

    Looking for multi convertors types so if I wanted to I can turn my WAV into mp3, m4a, ogg, etc, and likewise video to mp4, mkv, youtube, etc

    My google search is weak on this one.

    edit: forgot to add, ideally user friendly. I'm not technical these days :D

    avidemux and handbrake are go to for video conversions, they can handle batch jobs as well.

    Can't remember why exactly, but I'm not using Handbrake that often any more. Switched over to MediaCoder. The free version works absolutely fine, it just nags you to please consider buying/donating if you run several videos in a row, so unattended batch conversion doesn't work that well.
    For audio conversion/re-encoding I usually use Foobar2000 since it already has a wide range of supported formats on board and many not so common ones can be added via plugins.

    Reminds me that I wanted to reboot the "useful software/tools" thread xD

    Thanks Gryffes, I forgot about handbrake, didn't use it for a while!

    @Niya foobar worked perfect! I'll keep MediaCoder installed in case of special needs
