Have you tried viewing them in mplayer? IMO ffmpeg or mplayer are the correct tools for conversion - my instinct says that Handbrake is not. In another comment you report some error messages. I think your video files are recordings created by a handheld video camera - it's possible there are bugs in the video it creates. At least if you use ffmpeg you'll be aware of these warnings - if the converted video plays, then fine, but at least you have the opportunity to tweak the settings and reduce the errors to the minimum. I think a GUI app like Handbrake will only hide the errors from you. Stroller.
