Try XVid4PSP, it's free and so far I have never even needed to change any 
advanced settings.  It has presets with names for each format.  If you 
choose the format as plain AVI, under video encoding you can choose options 
like "FFV1 Lossless" or "xVid HQ Ultra" or "x264 HQ Ultra" etc.  Under 
format you can also choose MP4 Mpeg1 Mpeg2 etc, it really is quite easy to 
use.

It also accepts a huge range of input formats, including VOB if the "open 
file" dialog box is anything to go by.

And of course if you feel like tinkering (I have never needed to), you can 
go and edit the details of each preset.
