Could download every video from YouTube I wanted and the auto converting is a very nice addition.
Still free and hoping it will stay free. ;-)

- It actually works
Nothing more to say except do a make over of the interface. :)

iVideo Converter
AppleJack78 reviewed on 29 Aug 2009
- Very nice and easy to use interface. Best of the three I tested.
- Enormous amount of options to dig in. No documentation though and only some help tags.
- PSP presets actually works for my PSP3000. Great!
- Default settings gave good to very good quality.
- 2 pass encoding works like it should.
- Very good preview feature. Not seen in other converters. It actually shows the end result.
The only issue I got with ivideo converter : it has no stitching option.
For me this is clearly the best of the three I tested. The interface is really fantastic. The results are very good.
If you need a free converter you certainly need Handbrake. But if you want just that bit more ivideo converter for 7eur is a steal!

HandBrake
AppleJack78 reviewed on 29 Aug 2009
- Interface is out dated.
- Good amount of settings to dig into.
- Quality is from average to very good
- PSP preset only plays well with H264. The default MPEG4 settings doesnt work with PSP3000
- 2pass encoding works like it should.
- Couldnt select aspect ratio.
- Not a real preview. Only a frame-shot of the source. This should be at least a shot of the destination result.
In the end it actually works very well. Good tool

Downloaded it anyway because I like the screenshot interface.
Things I noticed:
- The screenshot is not how the program is looking. In fact it is plain different and not very good.
- Dragging has a strange behavior. After you dragged a file it sweeps back to the folder.
- PSP converted files do not play on my PSP3000.
- Even on good to best quality mode it still produce mediocre movie quality. Why can I not choose a bitrate my self?
- Only 16/9 and 4/3 aspect ratios.
- 2 pass encoding doesnt work correct. In fact it gives the same result as 1 pass.
- Stitching 2 files didnt work either. Got a applescript error.
Possible there are other issues to be solved also.
At version 2.x this is not convincing for me.

This is by far the best for osx imo.
Clean, simple and it works without a problem.
Must have tool for torrent freaks.
