The easiest way to convert a large number of files is with HandBrakeBatch.

I couldn’t find Handbrake in the App Store. Is that any reason to be cautious about downloading it?

Nah. It's widely used, if there were a malware issue with it that would be very well known almost immediately.

I've been using Handbrake for about 8 years now on may different machines, nothing to worry about.

Another vote for Handbrake. It's good. It's been around since the days of the Aluminum PowerBook G4. It's safe.

Handbrake is a senior citizen in the Mac universe — completely safe to use.
