I use Super, which is free, although not to convert to MP4. Although it does
this, apparently.

There are loads of video conversion programs for the PC (just put "AVI to
MP4" in your search engine).  Looks like you'll have to pay though, unless
anyone knows a free one.  Some have a free trial version though.
