Product Description:

iSquint is an iPod video conversion app. It's up to 5 times faster than Apple's method, works well with AVIs and MPEGs, and it's infinitely free-er.
It's also really easy.
Drag in your file, click "Start", and away you go. You can even set Screen-size and quality preferences.
On a 1.5GHz G4, iSquint can convert most video files to iPod-screen-sized videos in realtime. Depending on a few factors, a 20 minute video will take up anywhere from 50-150MB of disk space.

What's new in this version:

New in 0.9m
  • H.264 SUPPORT!
         ...and I mean it this time! H.264 gets the same 5 quality presets tailored for iPod compliance.
  • Resizable interface!
  • TV-sized files that are iPod-resolution-kosher don't get resized while converting.
  • I now rename all files to end in .m4v.
  • Made some improvements to time-remaining estimations.
  • Fixed some weird aspect-detection problems with some weird clips.
  • Wow. I did a lot today. I don't even remember half the things I did...
  • Figured out the weird AppleScript number variable issue. Affected users are informed.
  • There is no 0.9l. Sans-serif lowercase L is a wimpy, stupid letter. Imagine living in Illinois. Doesn't that look ridiculous? I deal with it every day.
New in pre-1.0 Branch:
  • Overhauled interface!
         Bigger, easier, better.
  • Batch processing!
  • Majorly improved conversion of QuickTime and Windows Media files!
     All QuickTime files supported...even reference movies. If you have Flip4Mac installed, all WMV files are supported!
  • Advanced settings drawer!
         Do it all yourself. See if I care.
  • Automatic aspect ratio discovery!
  • A Cancel button!
  • New build of ffmpeg!
  • More exclamation points!
  • Window stays responsive during compression. Can be hidden, etc.
  • Files with weird names more likely to work.
  • Made the Easy Settings easier. Drag and click. Done.
  • Multiple 10.3.9 fixes.

iSquint ReviewTemporary Fix for Transcoded flv to mp4 Files! - Version: 1.5.1, 2/26/2008 03:43PM PST

The nice folks over at iSquint have a Temporary Fix to the videos that were transcoded last year before the newest QuickTime decided not to play them!

Just change the suffix from .mp4 to to .3gp and they play fine.

I have no idea of the ramifications of this, but at least these vids will play in QuickTime again!

iSquint ReviewNo Video On Any Mp4s converted by iSquint - Version: 1.5.1, 2/8/2008 12:00AM PST

All of the .flv videos I used iSquint to convert to mp4 (before Quicktime started playing .flv files)... ALL of them do not play the video any more... really a drag.
