Default A program to compress videos to iphone format?

So I have been looking around for a program that could compress some videos I have on my computer to ipod format.. but I CANNOT find one. (Why oh why did Apple make it so complicated to put a video on an ipod/iphone)

All I need is a software that..

1. Has to be for windows. (yes I run a PC)

2. Is free.

Thankya.

I used a program my son bought at Target to transfer movies to his handheld PSP. It changes them to MP4 format. I was able to just drag and click when it was done and had no problem putting my dvd movie on my iphone.

Default The Only Option

The only option for a free program is handbrake. It's slow like others if your decoding from encrypted DVD's but if your movies are already decoded it's much quicker and it's simple and reliable to use.
I also bought the Elgato Turbo.264, which is a dongle that fits into your USB. It has it's own processor with in the USB dongle that it uses to encode the movies, allowing yours to do other things while the movie is getting converted.
It can be super fast, around 50 fps but it only encodes movies already ripped from DVD's, it can't copy DVD's direct from a disk if there encrypted but it does convert a huge amount of formats and quickly.
Both these programs give simple and easy to use menus and they can format to other devices such as PSP, iPod same as iPhone and larger quality and resolutions like the AppleTV. Follow the links for more info on both of these.
