If you're not anti-non-free codecs, consider the Medibuntu project:

http://www.medibuntu.org/

Guides are on the site to add the repositories to your software update
sources, and from there install new files for
non-free/proprietary/binary-only codecs.

Other useful tools for converting video include AVIDemux, mencoder,
transcode and VLC.  All are available in the default repos.
