Cool Mac Software--MoviePod Converts .wmv Files for iPod with video

MoviePod is another simple application designed to convert various video file formats to a format that works on an iPod with video. Like Podner, MoviePod automatically adds converted files to iTunes but to a playlist of your choice. One key advantage of MoviePod over Podner is that it converts Windows Media Player .wmv files without the extra-cost QuickTime plugin Flip4Mac Player Pro that Podner requires. One drawback to MoviePod is that it only converts to MPEG4 and not to the scalable H.264 video format in single-pass or multi-pass modes like Podner. Some may prefer MoviePod's GUI but we think that the choice is more a matter of "taste." MoviePod is $10 shareware. [Bill Fox]
