MPEG Streamclip- batch video conversion

Another quick article about a really handy free application. I needed an easy way to convert a whole set of video files from .avi to a format that would sit happily inside iTunes.

We’ve been using MPEG StreamClip for a little while at work now, it’s a great tool for converting video. But the reason I’m adding a mention here is because of the batch processing. Opening up the list view allows you to drag and drop all of your clips on to it, choose an output format and location (along with handy presets for iTunes), and set it to run until they have all converted. I’m currently typing this while my Mac processes 4 clips all at the same time, running nicely in the background.

Really nice piece of software for anybody that works with video, and it is available on Windows and MacOS. You can get your copy here.
