Anyone know a good, free video converter for a Mac?

These boards have gotten very PC centric. Anyone know of a good free ipod video converter?
Thanks!

Anyone know of a good free ipod video converter?
In the "free" category I would recommend:
MoviesForMyPod -- simple non-muxed QT file conversions
iSquint -- handles AVI and MPEG1 formats in addition to non-muxed QT file conversions
MPEG StreamClip -- Muxed (MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB), as well as normal QT file types and includes limited but nice editing features. 2-pass H.264 mode is a bit loose but I would recommend it for any experienced user
HandBrake -- already recommended by previous responder, this application is limited to DVDs, DVD images, and VIDEO_TS (VOB) files and has a few minor "bugs" which may catch the careless user off guard, but is generally a quite functional program.

    I'm traveling to London for the summer, does anyone know a good power adapter/converter for my MacBook Pro? I know there's the Travel Adapter Kit but it's only for iPhones, iPods, iPad, etc.

    Apple World Travel Adapter Kit
    The World Travel Adapter Kit includes the Apple USB Power Adapter, USB Cable and six interchangeable AC adapter plugs for use with iPod, iPhone, and iPad. The adapter plugs can also be used with Apple MagSafe Power Adapters, Portable Power Adapters, and AirPort Express, so you can plug your power adapter into most electrical outlets around the world.

    thank you
    I've never heard of a good, current book on PHP which is
    free. You'll find
    hundreds of free tutorials and articles, but usually when
    information gets
    collected into book form, people need to be paid and it's not
    going to be
    free.

  • Does anyone know any good free games or apps?

    It all really depends upon what you want. Since you are asking for free games, just download them and try. It does not cost anything.

  • HT4543 Does anyone know a good external CPU fan for macbook pros?

    Whenever I attempt to play games on my macbook pro, mid 2012 edition, it heats up to an extreme temperature in the top-left hand corner of my computer. I recognize this isn't safe for the computer. Do you guys know a good mac cpu fan, if that is indeed the heated piece of the computer, that I can plug into my mac via USB port or something of that nature?

    It's good that you're looking into something to cool down your MBP. Unfortunately, even good fans will only moderately - maybe 5•F at best.
    Also, download this free software:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/articles/keep-you-and-your-macbook-pro-cool
    And use your machine so that the temperature is never above 160•F at any time.
    Post with your questions!

  • HT1645 Hello, does anyone know of good DVD burning software for Mac?  I've got two 8 min 25 sec mov files to put on a DVD with title and a menu for the two.  I've tried it with iDVD five times, each time waiting over an hour and then getting an error mess

    I have a short film I produced and I need to burn off copies however I am having no end of trouble with finding a simple DVD burning programme.
    I tried a few but no luck.  I am trying with mov files and I can't see where the cog is happening.  If anyone has any good and relatively inexpensive solutions, please let me know!
    Thanks so much!
    Cheers

    Welcome to the forums.
    If you'd like to continue trying with iDVD, one of Apple's resources shows HT 1645 to be an encoding error (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645), so I would suggest starting a new iDVD project and set the iDVD Preferences to make sure they match to your project.  In particular, you should be using the Pro encoding setting or Best Performance for projects with a total length under an hour (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5417). 
    Roxio Toast is an excellent burning tool and part of my work flow after I've used iDVD to create a disk image.  Toast will not have the nice iDVD menus, but can do many other tasks besides DVD creation.  (Disk images can help in the DVD creation process -- here's one of many discussions:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/15469221#15469221)

  • Can anyone recommend a good Password manager / safe for iPhone & Mac?

    Looking for a combination of an App and an Mac application that can safely encrypt all of my Passwords, memberships, bank details etc. etc.
    *I've found the following, but was curious in anyone can recommend one over another or a completley different solution altogether?*
    SpalshID

    1Password
    http://agilewebsolutions.com/onepassword/iphone
    eWallet
    http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/iphone/products_ewmac.php
    Thoughts & suggestions gladly appreciated.

    1Password has a very strong reputation among Mac owners--lots of people love it.
    I use and like Wallet on Mac and iPhone, but not really for the password manager aspects, although it is one:
    http://www.acrylicapps.com/wallet/
    For me, one really important issue is "will it sync without me having to think about it, or do I have to consciously open it and hit sync while on the same wireless network?" Wallet uses WebDAV or MobileMe (which works for me), 1Password has a Dropbox solution, not sure about the others.
    Download the trial versions for the Mac, see which one you are most comfortable with.

  • A Free Video Converter For Converting AVIs To Mov

    i just got a macbook and im having trouble playing avis in frontrow and i was wondering what converter/codec should i download

    HI, Mike.
    For complete information about viewing AVIs and DivX files on Mac OS X, including converting such to QuickTime, see my "Playing AVIs and DivX Files" FAQ.
    You can investigate other solutions by searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings can be helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff.
    Good luck!

  • Free video converter?

    Hey
    I am looking for a free video converter for my mac so I can convert DVD, AVI, MPEG, MPG, QT to iPod Touch format, I believe it is MP4... Can anyone help me?
    Best regards
    Jesper

    Hey,
    I would try http://www.zamzar.com It is a website that allows you to upload your files, give an email address, and minutes-hours later, they email you a link for you to download your file in the new format. It also works for such things as downloading web based videos (like YouTube videos). I hope this answers your needs,

  • IPhone Video Converter for MAC

    I have been looking everywhere and can't find a free iPhone Video Converter for the Mac. There is one but it is for windows.

    Depends on the format you are converting -- Handbrake started as a Mac app (although it's also available for Windows) and is excellent.

  • What is the best video converter for DVD to iMovie? Either free or to purchase.

    What is the best video converter for DVD to iMovie? Either free or to purchase.  And one that is 'fool-proof' and very easy to use.  Many thanks, anyone who can advise.

    You want to 'reverse engineer' the compressed mpeg2 DVD file back to something iMovie can use?
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
