+1 for Handbrake. I loves me my GUIs, and Handbrake is one of the best,
most flexible, and easiest to use.

Re VLC, I love it also, but the only way it can 'convert' a file is to
record it as you are playing it. It will work, but it will be slow,
taking as long as it take to play the movie. Sometimes that is the only
way to rip and encode a file, but there are usually better alternatives.

One of my favorite GUI apps is MKVMerge, mostly because it is
astonishingly fast. Note that 'merge' is not all that it can do. It can
also add subtitles to the same file, and many other things. I have
never tried it with a MPEG2 file, however.

And speaking of that, you should also check out AVIDemux and
OggConvert, among many others that I use from time to time.
