 | lillkax said 20/6 at 7:54am Seems really unnecessary. With automator you can convert most image formats and create droplets for the image formats you most often convert to. Audio you can convert within iTunes and then it support converting to MP3, AAC, AIFF, WAV, APPLE lossless. The input formats can be anything Quicktime support. You can also use that funtunallaty thru automator. The archive converting do not seem to be very reliable at all, most often producing archive that are corrupt or empty. |   +4 |
| antonyh said 20/6 at 3:30am A progress bar is a key feature? I'd say that's normal for a conversion application. Same goes for built-in self updates these days - so many applications have this. I'd be interested to see if this works with the latest version of Winzip - the zip files apparently use a new compression technique that isn't compatible with older versions. Archive conversion, ok. Image conversion - I use netPBM (free commandline tools) that are powerful if somewhat crytic to use. Sound conversion - not sure there is a need for this, Flash can load most types, as can most audio editors. In truth, I'm not sure how much batch converting I'll be doing in the near future. I'll consider it if/when the need arises. | +3 |

| kcii72 said 20/6 at 9:21pm this looks helpful but definitely not for a student on a shoe string budget - what i really wanted was the bundle - will it be offered ever again???? | 0 |
| David Dollar said 20/6 at 3:01pm Seems great if you need this niche, but a little too expensive for a rarely used utility. | 0 |
| mac808 said 20/6 at 1:32pm @JoeLee: I agree that ffmpegX supports many video formats, but it's not free; see http://www.ffmpegx.com/register.html for details. ffmpegX offers a lot of functionality in the unregistered version, but if you do a lot of video conversion it's worth supporting its developer. Also, ffmpegX uses Apple's QuickTime MPEG-2 Player component, so consider this added cost, too. | 0 |

If you need a specialized utility like this, it's a life-saver and must-have. For the rest of the world, however, it's still too expensive, even at $20, to justify having on hand.
