iSquint Publisher Description

iSquint is an iPod video conversion app for Mac OS X. It's many times faster than QuickTime Pro, works with almost all popular video formats, and it's infinitely free-er. It's also really easy. Just drag in your file, and click Start. You can also choose "TV" or "iPod" size, set your quality, or even go all-out by playing in the Advanced drawer.

On a 1GHz G4, iSquint can convert most video files to iPod-screen-sized videos in realtime. Intel Macs are up to twice as fast, and can convert videos upwards of 5x realtime! Depending on a few factors, a 20 minute video will take up anywhere from 50-150MB of disk space.

Features:

Fast MPEG-4 and H.264 conversion from almost every popular video format, from 3GP to XviD.
QuickTime Pro and DivX codec not required.
DivX and XviD AVIs, all forms of MPEG video, and many other formats QuickTime chokes on are supported.
Batch Processing of multiple files. Save in-place, or to a different folder.
Automatic aspect ratio detection. Anamorphic MPEG-2 and HDV detected too.
Quality slider. Leave it as is to trust me, mess with it if you know better, or completely ignore it and play with the...
Advanced settings drawer. Change every aspect of the conversion process.
Multithreaded for multi-processor computers.
Just a few of the supported formats: .mov .mp4 .avi .dv .mpg .vob .3gp .asf .wmv .flv .m4v

OS: PPC/Intel
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
Whats new:
Version 1.5:

New 640x480 H.264 Low Complexity Support!
Crazy confusing name!
Higher quality than QuickTime/iTunes. Faster too.
Select "Optimize for TV" and "H.264 Encoding" for this new feature.
Flash 8 video can now be converted!
iPod videos are now created in such a way that tagging in iTunes is much much faster.
Files in folders with two-byte characters now convert correctly.
"Multiple of 2" error gone.
Log files are now archived at ~/Library/Logs/Techspansion/
Rare stability problem on 10.4.8 Intel worked around.
