STANLEY MARCHAL  Always in search for a good converter it is fair to say I used a lot of converters (dare to say every). iQuint and ffmpex mostly suited to my needs but they both have some issues (quality wise and stability - especially ffmpex is unstable and not update to date regarding the GUI)

iVideoconverter - a new kid on the block and oh-boy is this a winner or what ! ! !

The vast series of options you get to improve convert quality is just amazing and not seen in other programs I encountered. But still there are some missing features like 2 pass coding and muxing.

I have only tapped the presets and they do seem to give very good to outstanding results. But it is comfortable to know you can still do some tweaking with the advanced features.

Documentation for all the advanced functionalities is a must! ! ! This needs to be added ASAP by the dev

In my opinion this will surpass the popularity and above all usability of ffmpex - the former leader of the pack.

Top of the bill when you are needing a excellent converter for osX.

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.  
(Version 1.5.2)

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.
