If you want to convert comfortably, use a good GUI. I personally use TEncoder (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tencoder/).
* Free, GPLed.
* Comes in 32 and 64 bits flavours.
* Uses both ffmpeg and MEncoder.
* Nice GUI for the common options (bitrate, frame size, audio format, whatever) and option to add advanced command-line options.
* Handles too many formats, too many codecs. Including x264.
* Multi-core support: do you have a CPU with 4 cores? TEncoder opens as many encoding processes in other cores as you want (configurable).
Forget about DivX. Xvid is the best codec for MPEG-4 Visual. Don't forget to activate "two pass" mode, it is slower but in some cases the result is much better (e.g. scenes with rain, clown pockets).
I don't remember if TEncoder includes the basic codecs; if it doesn't, you can always install a codec pack (I use K-Lite). For more control, I also use VirtualDub and Avidemux, depending on what I need to do. E.g. VirtualDub handles several different hi-quality resizing filters and cropping, I also use MediaInfo and Xvid's internal bitrate calculator extensively.
