AUBIN.PAUL  I bought this software strictly for the iPod conversion and it does not disappoint. Anything I've thrown at it has worked beautifully - and in 640x480 h.264 to boot.

I can't comment on some of the other encoding formats, though there are many, but if you want to convert for your iPod, you can't do much better than this.

\The only thing that's missing is choosing the audio track from a VOB file with multiple languages. The developer promises this is forthcoming, however.

AUBIN.PAUL  There are a myriad of search plugins like this one, but I have to say that this one is my absolute favorite. It works very well, and the interface is both well designed and nicely integrated directly into Safari.

The one time I needed to contact the Developer he responded quickly and sent me a fixed copy in his reply.

AUBIN.PAUL  A great little editor; I've been a registered user since 2003 and while I've tried editors like BBEdit and TextMate, I've always come back to SkEdit because it's well-designed and makes it remarkably simple to work.

Besides a solid featureset, the editor costs far less than most other HTML editors on the Mac and accomplishes what most people will need.

The developer is highly responsive and puts a lot of work into addressings concerns (as the 3.6 update will show) so I'd highly recommend checking it out.
