Matt, Welcome, I hope your new found computer becomes one you can't live without. Over the years I have moved dozens of folks and not a single one has returned nor do they have any desire.
I use Handbrake on a MacPro and it works flawlessly, however it also has to have VLC to work. http://vlc-media-player.en.softonic.com/mac Maybe in the Windows world Handbrake did it all but on my first install and boot I was directed to the VLC website and in unison they do the job well. Hopefully some of the more informed folks will be able to shed more light than I can.
