iSquint 1.5.2

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 rather easy.

On a moderate Mac iSquint can convert most video files to iPod-screen-sized videos in realtime.

Give it your file, choose "TV screen" or "iPod screen" size, set your quality, and away you go. Depending on a few factors, a 20 minute video will take up anywhere from 50-150MB of disk space.

It's many times faster than QuickTime Pro, works with almost all popular video formats, and it's infinitely free-er.

It's also really easy. Just drag in your file, and click Start. You can also choose "TV" or "iPod" size, set your quality, or even go all-out by playing in the Advanced drawer.

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.

Note: The program has been discontinued.
