    The best alternative with all Format Factory functions(All format factory functions can be done here. Which is unable to do by other software here). Also, it is lightweight and open source. I really like the features which only required a right-click to do convert

    XMedia Recode is really free. It is a bit too complete/complex but does a really good job for video and audio format converting once the interface is understood.
