I have a bunch of HD movies (.mkv, 720p) on my desktop computer, but I'd like to downconvert them to standard definition to play on my less powerful netbook.

Are there any free programs that are able to do this? The resolution on the netbook is 1024x600 if that makes a difference. It definitely struggles when trying to play full 720p video, so my main concern is getting these files into a format that will play smoothly and without using 100% of the lightweight Atom CPU.

Thanks in advance, media gurus!
