MPEG Streamclip Video Converter …
It is rare that a professional level software tool designed to handle advanced media conversion is made available for free. MPEG Streamclip by Squared 5 is an exception. This production tool is packed with a vast array of useful features, and the most recent update includes enhanced support for the current trends in video editing and encoding.
Before I mention supported formats, it is important to stress that MPEG Streamclip is much more than a standard conversion tool. For example, incorporated videos can be edited with user defined in and out points. Time-code break correction is supported, and the conversion/encoding engine is extensive in terms of customization options.
The software supports playback and editing of just about every common video format, including Quicktime, DV, AVI and MPEG-4. Also, VOB files [video objects], and transport streams with PCM, MPEG and AC-3 audio. Installing additional Quicktime Components [Perian, DivX and QT MPEG-2 for example] will expand compatibility. Subsequently, all formats can be exported as DV, AVI[DivX] or MPEG-4. A vast array of parameters are supplied for unique conversion work-flows.
Additional features include Batch Processing, DeMuxing, Muxed MPEG-2 conversions, and poster-frame/still frame export. The player/previewer can be customized as well.
As previously noted, this incredible piece of software is avaialble for free for both Windows and Mac, and it is highly recommended.

Have you had any success with YouTube downloads after installing the latest version of MP Streamclip?

Connor,
So you need to convert a previously encoded DivX file into an ipod friendly format?
Try this: File/Export to MPEG-4. See if you can convert the movie. If so, you should be able to use one of the iPod presets. If this MPEG-4 output test is unsuccessful, the DivX source file may be problematic.

Hi.
I am trying to convert an .mpg file into .mp4 so that I could put it into iPod.
Every time I try to convert it, I face the same problem.
It seems that the output file’s frame rate is really low. When the time keeps going on, the picture seems to be moving really slow.
Could you suggest the best configuration for the converter from .mpg to .mp4 so that the result would be best?
