Hey

Hoping someone can solve my dilemma, on PC I use ConvertXtoDVD religously.

I was hoping that there is something of the equivalent for OSX as well?

iSquint (.org) will at least get you to mp.4...then, Toast? iDVD? iMovie?

Actually, iSquint is the light & free version of a much heavier-weight parent app called Visual Hub...and does exactly what you want.
iSquint is so reliable that I'm probably going to buy it.

VisualHub: The Universal Video Converter for Mac.

Is that the Square 5 program? I think I tried that once and don't you have to purchase some of the components to make

ffmpegX for Mac OSX

No, it's a collection of 20 unix tools all rolled up in one nice GUI. They don't include the mpeg2 encoder for legal reasons, but they point you to the names of a few free projects that will provide you one (and the application works with them).
