  11. Geoff Gerhardt on September 6th, 2007 4:37 pm

    You missed iPodifier for video converter tools. iPodifier is much like Videora for transcoding video for the iPod, but it takes it a few steps futher. It works with DVR apps like SageTV, WMCE, Vista, BeyondTV… and allows the user to select shows they want to automatically subscribe to and be transcoded whenever they are recorded by the DVR app. They will be automatically transcoded and added to iTunes by iPodifier. Check it out at ipodifer.com. Free too.

  12. Yoav Ezer on September 6th, 2007 4:46 pm

    @Steve - thanks for pointing me to movavi.com I’ll check it out.

    @Geoff - It sounds like iPodifier is an excellent tool. I’ll check it out. I might do an update round for the article, but until than, please drop the link in a comment so that anyone can enjoy it.

    What an impressive list! Well done.

    But there are many applications missed for PowerPoint to video converters (#63).
    I will mention just my favorite one (best user interface). PPTmovie
    It converts PPT to AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MP4 (!you can watch your presentation on the go on iPhone, iPod or Pocket PC!)

    But the rest is awesome. Thanks for sharing this with us!

    YouTubeRobot.com today announces YouTube Robot 2.0, a tool that enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert it to various formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC, PSP, or Zune.

    YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time.

    Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.
