punc Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 hi guys. i just wanted to share this one with you. since i got my iphone i've been busy finding free video converting software for osx that converts anything to iphone video in good quality and preferably small filesize. the only thing i came across was ffmpegX so i fiddled with it and found pretty good settings that work for nearly any video and come out with 3mb/min. so a 30min series comes in as 90mb with full iphone res (480x320). problem i found with ffmpegX was the unneccessarily cluttered gui once u've found your favorite preset and the lack of batch encoding a directory full of vids with the same settings. so i quickly put together a casual javagui for doing this, works like a charm for me and with everything (needed) here being free i thought i'd share with you guys. get it here: http://pyronetic.net/nConvert.zip read the 1-2 instruction on how to use it in the readme. feel free to comment. /punc p.s. i should add this is OSX only... (because of the bashscript i use) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88741-video-converting-for-iphone/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunLizard Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 HandBrake works okay. VisualHub works well better and its a measley 25 bucks. Well worth it. I'd be interested in seeing your front end (post screenies) as its always kewl to see what have built for functionality.

punc Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 its nothing but a window with a listview showing the directories addes, a button to add directories and a button to start converting those directories. simple as f*** :-D Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88741-video-converting-for-iphone/#findComment-636038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
viktike Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 HandBreak has iphone/ipod touch profile, for dvd ripping, including chapters support. For other video I use the Free iSquint, with advanced settings.

nameless2k Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 You could also just use VideoLan Client (VLC) and following this guide (http://incomplete-news.metaparadigma.de/?p=48). Very simple imho and available for several operating systems... give it a try and tell me your experiences.
