DESCRIPTION
iSquint is an iPod video conversion app for Mac OS X. It's many times faster than QuickTime Pro, works with almost all popular video formats, and it's infinitely free-er. It's also really easy. Just drag in your file, and click Start. You can also choose "TV" or "iPod" size, set your quality, or even go all-out by playing in the Advanced drawer.

On a 1GHz G4, iSquint can convert most video files to iPod-screen-sized videos in realtime. Intel Macs are up to twice as fast, and can convert videos upwards of 5x realtime! Depending on a few factors, a 20 minute video will take up anywhere from 50-150MB of disk space.

Features:

  • Fast MPEG-4 and H.264 conversion from almost every popular video format, from 3GP to XviD.
  • QuickTime Pro and DivX codec not required.
  • DivX and XviD AVIs, all forms of MPEG video, and many other formats QuickTime chokes on are supported.
  • Batch Processing of multiple files. Save in-place, or to a different folder.
  • Automatic aspect ratio detection. Anamorphic MPEG-2 and HDV detected too.
  • Quality slider. Leave it as is to trust me, mess with it if you know better, or completely ignore it and play with the...
  • Advanced settings drawer. Change every aspect of the conversion process.
  • Multithreaded for multi-processor computers.
  • Just a few of the supported formats: .mov .mp4 .avi .dv .mpg .vob .3gp .asf .wmv .flv .m4v

ALBABE  The nice folks over at iSquint have a Temporary Fix to the videos that were transcoded last year before the newest QuickTime decided not to play them!

Just change the suffix from .mp4 to to .3gp and they play fine.

I have no idea of the ramifications of this, but at least these vids will play in QuickTime again!

EZRABBIT  For the most part, this app works great for converting flv (youtube) files into ipod compatible files. There is one issue, however.

It seems that if an flv file doesn't quite match the ipod's screen dimensions, iSquint makes up the difference with what appears to be rows of estimated pixels at the bottom of the display. It's like adding a poor quality water reflection at the bottom of the video.

Surely it should default to a letterbox format if the dimensions are slightly off, rather than sticking rows of unwanted fuzziness at the bottom of the screen?

The advanced options confuse me a bit, so does anyone know if it's possible to get iSquint to do this?  (Version 1.5.1)

JON55  I got an error saying "Unsupported codec (id=0) for input stream #0.0" when I tried converting a .wmv

I've never had any problems before. :(  (Version 1.5.1)
