New: How to convert video to iPod MP4 using MPEG StreamClip (free) This guide will show you the basic step how to convert video(MOV, AVI, MPEG2, TS) to iPod mp4 format using free tools.
If your video runs longer than 20 minutes, is larger than 3 GB, or is in an obscure format that SmugMug can't process, you'll need to format it. Here's how: View any ip camera.
- Open MPEG StreamClip and drag your video file into the main window of the MPEG Streamclip application.
- In MPEG Streamclip, choose File > Export to Quicktime.
- Choose Compression: H.264 for the setting.
- Check the 'Limit Data Rate' button, which will override the quality slider. This is important, otherwise, you'll create an unnecessarily bloated file that will slow down or stall your upload.
- Leave the 'Frame Size' setting at 'unscaled' unless you want to change the size of your video. The application defaults to leaving the video at whatever resolution your video already is.
- If your video is Progressive (i.e., 1080p,720p, or 480p) deselect the 'interlaced' checkbox.
- Make sure you use the following settings for Sound: MPEG-4 AAC, Stereo, Auto HZ, 128kbps.
- Click the Make Movie button at the bottom right and, when it's finished, you'll have a video file ready for SmugMug!

And then I downloaded wondershare, but it left me with a watermark on video which was too big. I am wondering if there are any MPEG streamclip alternatives Mac which make it possible for me to convert and edit them in imovie, hopefully without any watermarks.' – From YahooAnswer
Using Mpeg Streamclip
'The Mac MPEG streamclip's interface was so difficult and makes users confused. Unfortunately, there were no instructions easily available. More specifically, the cluttered and technical bottom toolbar would be especially troublesome for more novice users. If you have more experience with different video formats, conversion settings, and options available, the lack of guidance would not be a problem.' – Feedback From some users
