Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: YES

Does what it's supposed to do. Nice to have so many options (so many Mac apps are dumbed down to the point where you don't get any meaningful options) but not being an expert on what's hot on video codecs, I found the options a bit overwhelming. A few presets for the most popular option sets would be very helpful, such as:

- preset to encode it for the video iPod
- preset to encode a movie down to 1.37 GB (don't know what settings they are, but everyone seems to encode movies the same way so that they end up 1.37 gb with decent quality)
- preset to encode a movie at near DVD quality

Something along those lines would go a long way to making it more user friendly for non video codec geeks. Thanks for a great application!
