This little tidbit of OS X iPod video conversion goodness comes compliments of a convenient reminder by Roberto on our Automated YouTube download conversion post. If it weren’t for the reminder, I would have completely forgotten about the handy utility. I guess I should have noticed it the last time I ran the Todos application [which provides a giant icon collage of all installed applications / utilities].

iSquint [donation-ware] is a lightweight video conversion tool for OS X which successfully manages to convert a slew of video formats – .mov .mp4 .avi .dv .mpg .vob .3gp .asf .wmv .flv .m4v – into a suitable form for importing into iTunes or your iPod. Simply drag your video into iSquint and hit ‘Start’. Sit back and relax as iSquint – depending on your machine configuration – converts the video (often in real-time).
