Use ffmpeg (free, open source). It will transcode to anything you

build that's included in FFmpegX or in Burn.app.
How about Fink or MacPorts?
Donno if available, and to be honest - *shudder* lol. ffmpeg is very
complicated to build, and has umpteen dependencies that would have to
be done too. Plus the other helper apps. It's just not worth the
effort, IMO, when there are sweet pre-built versions already
available!

Will handbrake not do this?
The OP is using Tiger. Current Handbrake requires Leopard or better,
and I think x86. Ancient Handbrake, that runs on ppc and Tiger,
would have an ancient build of ffmpeg in it - which won't deal with
the updated codecs as well.
Burn runs on Panther and newer and vers 2.5.1 was built 15 Jan 2011 -
very up to date ffmpeg etc.

FFmpegX runs on Panther or newer too (or maybe it's Jaguar or
newer?), and has that pretty GUI. Note that installing FFmpegX is a
bit complicated because there are other pieces you have to fetch.
See its download page for details.
