Jeez, even the 2 ways to download it on the developer's website don't work. Way to go, Shedworx.

Freezes randomly when converting on OS X 10.7.2
Didnt produce one converter file.

Free but worthless.

Handbrake is the way to go if you need a free converter.

I don’t quite understand Jazzguy’s comment because Smart Converter has proven to me to be anything but stable (or smart, BTW). It crashes every other time I ran it on my Mac OS 10.7.1 iMac and 10.6.8 MacBook — both new-ish and immaculately maintained.

Additionally, Smart Converter doesn’t make DVDs, MPEG2 or Matroska (.mkv) files, and there is no ability to select, change or adjust anything at all, so it’s ridiculously barebones and utterly useless, like most of Shedworks software.

To be fair, I gave it a 5-star Ease of Use rating simply because it’s never used by anyone I know, therefore extremely easy. Nice that it’s free, though.

Smooth and Perfect application. NOT unstable in any way. I tried it with a wmv movie and it converted it to mov and moved it into iTunes. I love it and it is free! Great GUI and it does exactly what it says it does.

Simple but not stable program. Crashed several times.

A sound start, but still has a ways to go for a free converter compared to others out there... and there are plenty for those who know how to look for them. Even for those daunted by HandBrake's settings, using it straight up with just some basic features, is still better. However, for those who use their Mac as a "magic box" that just does things for them, and are satisfied with not having to make choices, this app has a strong place in the community. Still, it could be more without losing that appeal.

The UI is kinda nice and simple. But it lacks advanced features.
Didn't produce a working movie for my iPod something many converters doesnt seem to do anyway.
But it is already much better compared to Vidconvert which is the main competitor for simple converters. Free is great too.

However, still some work to do but promising nevertheless.
I will keep an eye on this.

Pretty fast. I would even say a bit faster than Handbrake, but lacks a few options like choosing destination folder, etc. In any case, this is a very good beginning.

Smart Converter is quite simply the smartest, simplest and most efficient converter out there. Smart Converter will provide a faster, higher quality conversion than most existing converters.

Drag your video or audio file to Smart Converter, select an output format and convert, it's as simple as that. Smart converter will analyse your file and preserve as much of the original as possible, optimising conversion speed and quality.

Smart Converter handles hundreds of file types and converts to all your favourite formats, it will also add your converted file to iTunes.

Need more convincing, get Smart Converter and try it for yourself, it's FREE.

Why So Smart?

When you drop a media file into Smart Converter and choose a conversion type, it immediately analyses your file and works out exactly what part of it needs to be converted to achieve the desired output.

In many cases neither the video nor the audio need converting. In some cases just one or the other need converting, and in a few cases both will need converting.

Doing this analysis ensures Smart Converter only converts stuff that needs converting, and leaves the rest alone. This has a two-fold advantage over many other converters; it's usually very fast and maintains the highest possible quality of video and audio.
