Convert VMware ESXi to Virtual Iron

We are in the process of switching over to Virtual Iron due to cost and features.  I have 10 ESXi servers and have looked all over for a free way to convert them over.  I tried the vmdktovhd utility posted on a blog and everytime it gives me a "invalid vmdk file" error.  I have uninstalled the VMTools and still no luck.  Please help!  Also is there a free P2V method to convert physical servers?  The license for Virtual Iron only gives 6 conversions.  I need a way to semi-auto or fully automated way to convert for backup and disaster recovery purposes.  Thanks

I heard of them as well as platespin and virtuosso.  But they are all very expensive.  Was hoping for a quick and cheap way.  But would that be your recommendation if I bite the bullet and spend the money? Thanks
