While testing this app, I looked into (on MacUpdate) another product by this developer called K-Kitchen. I was disappointed to find that one of the app's developers had unethically posted a review of his own product that was at some point deleted by MU Admin. There was also an accusation that the app violated the ffmpeg license agreement (I don't know if this is true or not). While neither of these things say anything about the quality of software this company produces, I suggest proceeding cautiously with a developer that has generated complaints of unethical practices.

As mentioned by the previous reviewer, the price is certainly affordable. It would be a bargain if it worked as expected.
Yesterday afternoon I downloaded the software and began converting a 900 MB file. The progress bar quickly showed 20% progress, but after that it advanced extremely slowly. I quit my other applications, including many background applications, and left KandaluLite running. Even though the program is a CPU hog progress was still EXTREMELY slow so I left it running overnight.
I followed the instructions regarding the optimal settings for their codec, and my 900 MB file became a 2.06 GB file. I then exported this file using their Exporter and the file size was greatly reduced. It went from a 2.06 GB mov file to a 1.22 GB m4v file. Still, both were larger than my original avi.
Ideally I would try this again, use other settings, and play with it until I was satisfied with the results. On the other hand, my time is worth more than $6.99 so I'll pass.
It's interesting that 5-star reviews both here and at VersionTracker are from people who have never reviewed another applications. I'm not even going to rate it since I only tested it with one file and the suggested settings, but I will definitely uninstall it.
