Mac multi media converter

Hello,

I just bought a Network Hard drive an want organize my media to most commun format, what would you consider the best all around multi media converter for MAC ?

MPEGStreamclip
Squared 5 - MPEG Streamclip video converter for Mac OS X

thank you. do you know if, iskysoft imedia converter is any good?

If you are looking to move video to a single format that is the most "Mac Friendly" (whatever that means) I would say the format would be .m4v. For the converter I would highly recommend Handbrake over any other media converter available for the Mac. It's free, constantly being developed (nightly drops allow you to build newer versions regularly if desired) and is easy to use.

I've never used iSksoft but I haven't read anything particularly good about it.

FYI, it's "Mac" not "MAC". If you want to understand the difference, consult Google or wikipedia.

I favour Video Monkey, Handbrake, FFMpegX or MPEGStreamclip

I wouldn't touch iSkySoft stuff.

I'd go for MP4/M4V as a format. Just about every device (Apple and others) supports that now

Just for the record, iSkysoft is spamware and their minions spam the same software across the web under at least a dozen different names.

Agree with bobtomay. I recently purchased iFFmpeg (for a measly $12) because it was the only video converter program that would properly re-encode JUST the audio on some video files I wanted to put on my iPad. It does a nice job with whatever I give it, but yes, depending on your needs MPEG Streamclip (free) or Handbrake (free, needs VLC which is also free), or Video Monkey (free) or Miro Video Converter (free) may do the job for you. I also like the look of Permute ($10), which does batch encoding with a beautifully minimalist interface.
