With the surge of the iPod, plenty of new applications for video conversion have appeared in the market. A good example of this is Aigo Video to iPod Converter. This light but powerful software will easily convert into the iPod video format, any DivX, XviD, AVI, WMV, MPG, MPEG, ASF, RM, RMVB, MOV, ASX, SVCD or VCD file.

Underlying objective with Aigo is simplicity. Software’s interface is aimed at making the conversion process as easy and fast as possible. It is therefore a highly recommended software for beginners (in video conversion). Indeed, changing proprieties of output files such as size, definition, bit rate or frame rate, is as easy as following a simple configuration process.

Among its many features, we can mention the automatic switch off after format conversion (recommended for big video files that require a lot of time), bulk conversion, and the possibility of creating video clips from a bigger video file.

Technical requirements are consistent with software’s overall simplicity. 500 MHz and 128 Mb RAM are more than sufficient for a great performance. Optimal productivity is obtained with Dual Core, Hyper-Thread and AMD chipsets.

Output video files offer excellent results in terms of image quality, with no loss if compared with the original file. Probably license limitation is the biggest issue of this application, as it allows only for converting 30% of the video file.
