Video Monkey: Convert Video Files with Ease
Video Monkey is a comprehensive video converter that allows users to easily convert video files into multiple formats. Developed by Chris Marrin, this free software is available for Mac users. With Video Monkey, you can convert videos to various formats, including DV, DVD, Tivo, AVI, MP4, and Quicktime formats. It also provides presets for popular Apple devices like iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV.
The interface of Video Monkey is user-friendly, allowing you to drag and drop multiple videos for conversion. Before converting, you have the option to adjust the bitrate, frame size, frame rate, and audio quality. Additionally, Video Monkey provides an estimation of the output file size, giving you an idea of the resulting file's size.
While Video Monkey offers a wide range of conversion options, it does have a limitation. It doesn't support all video formats, such as DivX and Xvid. However, for most users' converting needs, Video Monkey is more than sufficient. The software also includes features like file preview, progress bar for conversion status, and the ability to pause encoding for long conversions.
Please note that the latest version of Video Monkey includes a new version of ffmpeg, but it is only available in 32-bit.
