EDITOR NOTES
Posted at the developer's site, today, October 3, 2008:
"After much soul-searching (it's not you, it's me), for personal reasons, Techspansion is closing its virtual doors. The Support Forum and Support E-mail will be available for a while longer to take care of any remaining issues for you. Thanks for all your support. It's been a fun ride."
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

STEVEW  The video format/software/conversion world is a mess so I understand why the developer is dropping out but having just now (7/7/09) found iSquint I must say I'm sorry to see them go.

I had a video that nothing else (Flip4Mac, Handbrake, VLC etc) could handle but just for kicks I gave iSquint a try and - poof - instant perfect MP4 video. No settings - just drag and drop. Excellent!

Download this while you can!

Thanks for all your hard work and best wishes.

STANLEY MARCHAL  This is a great converter for non-power users. The result are good but not outstanding.

But in general I like this very much.

That said, it crashed on one of my avi video. It starts converting but somewhere at 50% of the complete file - 20mb - it freezes and doesn't to anything anymore. Other converters do not have this problem with the same file. All other videos I converter do work.

Easy to use. Easy settings. Good end results.

PROMAX  I have one question? Where are the options you need to increase quality of the videos?

It's also clear this has been programmed by a Windows user. He needs to take a look at the OSX programmers guide asap.

But in the end it works to convert to iPod movies etc... but lacks many important features found within other comparable converters.
