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:

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)

Interesting little app. Please reassure us that you're not making money off of it (we hate spam here).

@ghporter hehe, i assure u i dont. its a free gui for guys who got annoyed like me trying to batch convert a bunch of directories with ffmpegX (which is a great app) and fiddeling with presets...

@chabig sure, though the iTunes will only add ipod/iphone atoms to the video file and the file itself has to be compatible with iTunes beforehand...
