Hi guys,

I've recently moved to Leopard and need something that comes close to xvid4psp as you can't run it in Wine cause of .NET 3.0 requirements.

Anyone know of one that'll convert avi's etc to MP4 for iPhone? Google isn't helping much. All points to costly wizard like app **rolls eyes**

I prefer to use apps with more than just "Low" or "High" quality and a Go button...

Cheers

I normally use ffmpegX

Quick and easy for 1 off file conversions

Othewise I just have a small shell script that does bulk conversions for me using ffmpeg

Thanks.

Yeah anything that gives me control over quality, passes, audio rates etc. I'll check it out. Its usually for the odd episode or movie I wanna watch on my iphone.

try handbrake

Nah I've got HandBrake for DVDs. It doesn't do normal file to file conversions. Actually FFMPEGX is exactly what I wanted. Has everything I was looking for. Straight forward with lots of settings.

whoops, i had it on my comp and assumed that it did more than just dvds :P

If I did this sort of thing often, I'd get an Elgato Turbo.264 (hardware h.264 encoder).. and of course make sure codecs are covered with Perian and Flip4Mac WMV.

Do you have one? How fast are we talking for say a 90 odd minute XviD dvdrip?

No idea, never looked it up. I just have an Elgato TV tuner+software and it rocks. Here's the graph from Streetwise - its no-where to be seen on the official Elgato site though, so I donno what the go is there.. probably good to check reviews.

Note: The 'compare performance' graph is based on the following;
Encoding time in minutes. Test conducted on a MacBook 2GHz Core 2 Duo with QuickTime Player Pro 7.1.5. Test file: 10 minute DV 16:9 clip. Export setting: Movie to Apple TV.

Awesome proggie...

Buy? Pfft...

iSquint is the free one.

Yeah I had a look at that program.

Its funny how they fully pay out their own program and suggest getting VH with lots of arrows and stuff in iSquint dialogs. Nice marketing haha.
