"Worked fine to convert from mov to mp4"
Version: Flv Crunch 1.5.0
Pros
It worked flawlessly, easily, quickly on the 3 videos I needed convert
Cons
None but should mention I didn't test change of resolution or frame rate.
Summary
Worked fine to convert mov to mp4, though I didn't change resolution or frame rate so can't say anything about those capabilities. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that I didn't test these capabilities.

"AWESOME, simply awesome!"
Version: Flv Crunch 1.5.0
Pros
Does exactly what it says, audio, video - and outputs in nearly every format. Very simple, and where do I send my donation? Output is flawless.
Cons
Can be slow, but depends on file types, and slow=quality.
Summary
I would pay for this application. I can not tell you how many BS apps I have downloaded from CNET in the last 14 years that have just turned out to be pure trash. This thing is a full fledged utility workhorse, and they should be charging for it. Leave a comment where to send the money and I will send it.

"Works even better than VLC"
Version: Flv Crunch 1.5.0
Pros
Plays all kinds of video files. Lots of different conversion options. Performs good-looking exports. And it's free!
Cons
The "Remove" button doesn't seem to work when you want to remove a file from the list of source files to be converted. This can be a problem if you accidentally put the wrong file in the list and want to delete it. The workaround is to quit FLV Crunch, re-start it with an empty source files box, and repopulate the box with the files you do want to convert.
Summary
My compliments to the creator. I had two files downloaded from the internet which had an odd problem. In QuickTime, Movist, MPEG Streamclip and other programs, the two clips played for five minutes each -- but in VLC they turned out to be 30 minutes long each!
I wanted to export them to another file format so I could play them in QuickTime or any other program for the full 30 minutes -- but of course VLC doesn't do file-to-file conversions. I tried all kinds of other programs. FLV Crunch was the first and only app that would both play the full movies and export them to another format as well. I converted my two files to .mp4s, and they look great.
Many thanks! -

"Not as good on my new iMac"
Version: Flv Crunch 1.5.0
Pros
Works well on most formats.
Cons
Some WMZ files did not convert well into other formats no matter what format you try to convert to.
Summary
I just got my brand new 27 inch iMac, with all the trimmings. I switched from a PowerPC Mac laptop. It worked fine on my laptop, but on my new iMac after I've converted the video but I tried to open up the video it opened up the conversion program, instead of video. I tried reopening it several times but the same thing kept happening. I tried with other videos that I recently downloaded and converted, but it did the same thing on all of them. I wound up deleting the program, and I'm going to try downloading again from my new Mac to see if that makes a difference. I will keep you posted if I have better luck.
