Try FFMPEGX. It does everything this app does. I guess some people have to pay for convenience --or are too scared to install Unix binaries. FFMPEGX takes care of this for you and also does 3GP encoding. It reads Real, but doesn't encode. I suppose if you REALLY need that codec you're going to have to pay.

I threw out Cleaner LONG AGO -- there's no need to pay $395 dollars for MPEG or DIVX related codec compression, let alone mobile formats either. Luckily my firm paid for this stuff...

? Have you even tried the application? Do you know anything about pro encoding at all? FFMPEGX is nice. But this is another thing.

ffmpegX comparison - julianps_dotmac

This version of the software does not handle WMV v1/2. It only handles v3/9.

So you still need ffmpegX to do the little stuff at the margins. But ffmpegX does not convert WMV3/9 so ffmpegX does not do everything this software does.

And I'll bet 99% of VT viewers came here looking for a WMV3/9 converter.

And 98% will give up because of the cost. Did Popwire never hear what Adobe did with Photoshop?

Lets have an Elements/Lite for the rest of us.

Please.
