    Hi, I just got my first mac. A brand new Macbook Pro. I'm still getting to grips with the mac way of doing things and so far I like it a lot.
    I'm looking for a decent quick video converter to change AVI files to ipod format. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    iSquint seems to get the general nod of goodness.

    Yep, iSquint for converting to iPod. It has a bigger brother, Visualhub, which is useful for converting to everything else.

    Check out MetaX too - it will edit the metadata on your movie files so they're properly organised in iTunes - it'll pull everything, including artwork, from amazon.

    Anyone using a hardware encoder?

    I'm looking at buying a Turbo.264 or an Instant Video To Go for the windows part of my iLife.

    Trouble finding them locally or available on eBay to Ireland.

    Don't forget MacTheRipper & Handbrake for your DVD collection.

    Visual Hub is my favourite.

    It can handle pretty much any format you throw at it and has settings built in for iPod too... I use it for my iPhone.

    ffmpegx is quite handy too. +1 for visual hub, Handbrake and MTR.

    I'm a longtime user of ffmpegx and can't fault it. Have to say I love these guys stuff:


    www.nullriver.com

    Basically connect360, movie2ipod, connectPS3, connectPSP all work a treat on the mac.
