Our Review of Cucusoft iPod Movie/Video Converter
With a blazing fast MPEG-4 video conversion rate of 300X [a 90 minute movie/avi is converted in 25 minutes] the Cucusoft iPod Movie/Video Converter is at the top of the speed category. Expect an H.264 video conversion to take twice as long as MPEG-4 but be about half the file size.
The Cucusoft iPod Movie/Video Converter converts every video file format out there - no questions asked
The preview display for video conversion is not much bigger than a postage stamp and the layout of the interface could use a skin update to this millennium, but that’s not why you own this baby. The Cucusoft iPod Movie/Video Converter converts every video file format out there - no questions asked. And it does this for more devices beyond the iPod - a lot more.
This is one of those programs you’ll use for your iPod for all your movie conversions. Sweet.
