How do I convert video files for use on the AppleTV?

How do I convert video files for use on the AppleTV? How do I convert video files for use on the AppleTV? I've tried Handbrake but it crashes on a lot of the video files I have. Any alternatives that are free? I've got an Intel Mac running Snow Leopard.

My favorite free converter is ffmpeg.

"I recommend iSquint, it's been discontinued but still works great. It's free and will convert the videos to the proper format. You can even set it to add them automatically to your iTunes Library.
