What format are the videos in to start with? You could try handbrake or super. If you have the DVD DVDfab works great but you can only convert from DVD.

handbrake
stay away from super

most are divx movies that have been downloaded.

I wasnt aware that there was different divx formats.
If theres anyway i can check what kind of format they are please let me know.

mediacoder is not only free, it's open-source too. It's great.
