QEMU is quite nice.  I used to use it extensive before the KVM 
imtegration and am getting back in to it.

It comes with a nice format conversion tool.  A couple of times I've used 
the QEMU conversion tool to convert formats between two other emulators 
because their tools were inadequate.

Cheers,
