Need a free way to make h.264 files

I'm using PP2.0 and the built in compressor is terrible, so I need something else. Anything that can convert an AVI file into an h.264 suitable for lovefest. It would also be nice if it could crop the video as well, as I shot in 16:9 but cropped to 2.35:1 with black bars.

Any help is appreciated; specific links to programs and instructions would be great.
 
Check out a program called MeGUI if you're real technical.

There is also a program called RipBot h.264 if you're less technical.
 
just made this very post on dvinfo

update ..sorted it!
This may save somone some hassell to get a 2:35.1 H.264 QT file, like the apple trailers.

In Premier Export movie to file type >quicktime
In video tab, compressor=H.264 >fame size=1920x1080 >square pixels
Export.
Open the file in Quicktime select >file>export>movie to quicktime file
click the options button, click settings, compression type H.264
click on size button> dimensions select custom
1920x816
Preserve aspect ratio using crop

cheers Russ

you may need to tweek settings for SD not sure what the height is for 2:35.1
