Whatever software you choose, you have to accomplish the video conversion in three steps: I have tried several free alternatives and at the moment, the one I liked is HandBrake, which is the open source video transcoder available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Until recently I was using Free MP4 Video Converter, but with the current version available (november 2017), the software is not that good anymore as it doesn't give you much options on how to convert the movie. Even if the software says it is free, some of them will give you limitations while converting either by adding annoying watermark, slower conversion, or limited video length.
