ZippyConverter uses the ffmpeg, mencoder and QuickTime engines to ensure maximum compatibility. For instance, ffmpeg has a ton of codecs built in but often there are files that may have a little trouble depending on how they were encoded in the first place. Installing the Perian plug-in for QuickTime ensures that any video that QuickTime can play, ZippyConverter will convert. ZippyConverter will run the file through the Perian codec and then output the file to your desired settings. Installing Flip4Mac will introduce Windows Media file decoding, the RealPlayer 9 codecs will decode RealPlayer files playable in QuickTime and easilly usable for DVD building. ZippyConverter uses auto detection methods to determine which files may have trouble. ?
The most exciting thing about ZippyConverter is that you can mix and match DVD’s from VIDEO_TS folders, mix and match and combine YouTube files, download direct from the web and manipulate the video the way you want without all the complication of intimidating controls.
