Seeking for some easy tool to convert mjpeg to x264

Hello.
I personally encode my videos from the camera, with x264 cli in crf mode , and prepare scripts from templates. Than I mux everything with mkvtools.

I bout a camera for a friend, which is similair to mine. It shoots 640x480@30 avi video in Jmpeg (about 10000kbps) and pcm audio (11khz). I would like you to recommend me _easy_ tool to make an x264+mkv out of this. The most important for me is that this tool/method would be easy (possibly, at the expense of some quality) , without understanding of scripts, bitrates, etc.

You may want to give Avidemux a try:

I tried you advice, and actually liked avidemux pretty much. I used to virtualdub, but recently dropped it due to lack of support of mp4 and mkv containers. Applying filters and choosing codec is pretty simple and straight forward. I will be able to explain to non-experienced person with ease.
But one problem i haven't figured out yet - is audio. Latest avidemux 2.5 would immediately close, once i try to open my .avi file (simply disappear w/o any errors)
Avidemux 2.4 seem to handle fine my .avi, but it cannot produce sound, Either way, if I choose to copy sound, or choose mp3 audio codec, there is no sound in the resulting file, only video. (I used mkv+x264)

Sorry, my mistake. Sound is working fine. I've somehow loaded wrong file. After resampling it from 11khz to 22khz i was able to use lam3 mp3 codec.
Looks like i found what i was looking for :-) Now I need to save all the settings to a preset, so that my friend would automatically load that preset and audio/video settings would be automatically loaded.

MeGUI handles it too As long as you have FDDShow_tryout setup to handle MJPEG ...

You can also include a MCTemporalDenoise(setting="low") in the Avisynth script inside MeGUI to get rid of alot of the MJPEG camera "grain" ...

Save the profiles and Email to friend to use directly ...

@junglemike:
If you don't here any sound in Avidemux, make sure you did set "Audio Output" to "Win32" instead of "Dummy" in the preferences.
And yes, resampling often fixes audio-encoding problems, especially when your source audio has some "unusual" sampling rate.

BTW: If you encounter any crashes, look at Avidemux' log file for detailed information!
