iPod Video Converter for Mac.

Nov 1, 2006 11:55AM PST

I'm looking for a easy-commanded software of iPod Video converter for Mac. I think it should convert audio and video files, such as AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, MP4, VOB, DivX, XviD, AAC, AV3, MP3, to the formats supported by Video iPod including MP4, M4A, MP3, MOV, etc within few steps and a few minutes. You know, sometimes you have to waste a lot of time to waiting for the entire conversion process without doing other things on your computer.

Just now, I found one software just released this year by mp4converter.net at http://mp4converter.net/products/ipod-video-converter-mac.html
It seems ok, but does anyone have tried it yet? Give me some advice on its advantages and disadvantages.

Thank you for your valuable suggestion.

Rex W.

Rex, I passed up on mp4converter.net because of spammers.

Some spammer spammed the forum here about mp4converter.net do I've never given them a second look.

Anyone that spams a product like that has me look anywhere else.

Hi, guys.
Long time no see. Wish you guys have good days.

How are you, Proffitt? Hope you good.
Actually, I'm a little bit confused by spammer.

Whatever, I don't think www.mp4converter.net is the one that should be missed.
Your know, PS3 as very powerful playstation is such a wonder sugared up by the new-comer PS3 Video Converter.

Maybe the HD dynasty is coming. People never stops to hunt a more clear screen.
Me too, a HD-dynasty fan.

iSquint

I use iSquint (http://www.isquint.org/) for video and it works pretty well. It handles most formats I throw at it, though sometimes it will hiccup with WMV files and doesn't seem to work on Real files. It's free, although it will hog your system while it's running. I'm not aware of any video converter that won't, it just seems to be a pretty intensive process. As for audio I'm not quite sure what's available, but then again all my audio comes in as .wav, .mp3, or .aac.

There is a possibility that the author of these fine applications will release the code as Open Source but nothing has been announced yet

Audacity works great - and is Open Source... and free if you can't afford it.

how to add pic here?
Dec 10, 2006 6:08PM PST

hey, pals.

Actually, I love the pics there at mp4conveter.net relating to PS3.

I would like to share it with you guys here, but I don't know how to stick a pic here.

Sorry about it. If you are interested it too, maybe you can go to see it yourself, and I feel so regret that I can't share the happiness with you together.

Oop, I seems to forget the cnet forum function. Here will be exectly where we could share our happiness and your brain/knowlege-storm. Happy
