Well, everything depend on what you want to do exactly. VLC has some
encoding capabilities indeed, but these are mainy aimed at streaming
transcoded streams. VLC will not allow you to author a DVD for instance.
You can have a look in the stream output panel of the open dialog to
access transcoding options. This should be described in our doc too (or
will be soon).

Other altneratives on OSX include FFmpegX
