TESLANAUT  Can we get the ability to change some encoding settings? I mean, when you say iPod, do you mean Nano? Touch? Classic? A little more control would be nice.

BIKEHAM  AppleTV setting doesn't work for me. I use iTunes instead, seems to work ok. I upgraded from earlier versions and something went amiss along the way?

FORMICA  This is a MUCH better version (compared to my attempt with v. 0.94b, listed below). Conversion of Underworld - Rise of the Lycans (720p. .mkv) this time was far, far better, though it took nearly 3 hours. The audio is as good as the conversion I made with MPEG Streamclip, and the video was very good too, though somewhat brighter and with a small amount of attendant pixelation in the bright areas. Impressively, the Evom 0.95b conversion came in at only 1.91 GB, compared to the MPEG Streamclip conversion at 3.98 GB from the 4.37 GB original. Making very good progress, and with seemingly appropriate settings for the m4p converter. The developer said s/he would fix the audio problem, and by golly s/he did! Kudos.

FORMICA  Actually, I realize now that it was not MPEG Streamclip that I used to make that first conversion of Underworld - Rise of the Lycans (720p).mkv, but rather Handbrake. Oh well.

BIKEHAM  I am having a problem with 0.95b. It keeps downloading new video components every time I initialise it. I've tried deleting and re-installing, deleting the plist files but still I am thwarted by this cantankerous problem.

Apart from that, it works very nicely.

D-ROCK!  Great smooth little app. I haven't tested it extensively, but as far as I can tell, it does what it's supposed to. However, I would like a little leniency as far as final file formats go. I realize this is still in beta, but could you consider putting in an .m4v option in there?

STANLEY MARCHAL  User it for some iPod conversions. Although they work the quality is not on par with other converters. Sometimes the result is messy and blocks popping up everywhere.

A lot of work is still needed to make this converter useable.

Too simple for me. Too few options. Too preliminary.

FORMICA  Well, I tested Evom 0.94b by using it to convert 3 different video files into all of its available formats and comparing those to conversions of the same videos made with the latest versions of QuickTime, HandBrake (free) and MPEG Streamclip (free). The video quality of Evom's conversions was comparable to those of QT and HandBrake, but was substantially poorer than the conversion I made with MPEG Streamclip using the free x264Encoder QT plugin. The audio was another story -- it was substantially poorer in all cases. In fact, the audio was so poor that it completely overcame any advantage Evom accrues from its simplicity; so bad even that I removed it from my computer. If the developers of Evom can dramatically improve its audio conversion then I will again consider it for my super-simple conversion jobs (which is what it's made for). For now I will stick with the many other free alternatives that do a much better job, like HandBrake, MPEG Streamclip, VisualHub, iSquint, Prism, Video Monkey, The Exporter, etc.

HERBERTKORNFELD  Works as advertised. Brilliant in its simplicity. This is a very no-nonsense approach.

And whatÂ’s most amazing to me is that these guys just spent a small fortune advertising on Daring Fireball. I came here ready to spend money, only to find that theyÂ’re giving it away. I canÂ’t say that I've ever seen an independent freeware release promoted like this before.

I look forward to seeing how this app develops. I donÂ’t want to see it bloated with features, but IÂ’d love to see some scripting support. That, I'd definitely pay for. A scriptable version of this used with Hazel would be an impressive combination.

JOHNSMITH  Great app! It makes a difficult job extremely easy which is basically what the Mac is all about! None of the other programs are even remotely simple or intuitive! Free cannot be beaten either!
