Smart Converter is the fastest, easiest to use video converter on the App Store, thanks to it's Smart Conversion technology.

Smart Converter handles 100s of file types including MKV and AVI, and converts so they play on your favorite devices. It will also add your converted file to iTunes automatically. Just drag your file into Smart Converter, select an output preset and click convert. It's really that easy.

Why So Smart?
==========

When you drop a media file into Smart Converter and choose a conversion type, it immediately analyses your file and works out what needs to be converted.

In many cases neither the video nor the audio need converting. In some cases just one or the other need converting, and in a few cases both will need converting.

Smart Converter only converts the parts of your movie that need it and leaves the rest alone. This makes Smart Converter faster that every other converter while maintaining the highest possible quality video an audio in the converted movie.

Slow but great

I would highly recommend this app. I used it to convert a file from avi to mp4 and it worked great. However, it did take some time (though it was a 2 hour long file so it’s understandable for its length at the same time). My experience with this app is that it converted the file to amazing quality and even sends it to itunes afterwards! But like i said it does take a while for it to convert (took about 2 hours). But I would most likely be using this converter over any other since it converted it to what seems like 1080p quality. Sound quailty is amazin also. Overall, if you want a converter that works great, and you have some time to kill, this one is the one to choose. Compared to another converter that took half the time and produced horrible sound and picture quality.

Works great but extremely annoying flaw

I really like this app and it works great; it allows me to convert any file into nearly any other type of media file I may need quickly and efficienty.

There is, however, a terrible flaw with this software. When files finish converting, the software automatically sends the file to iTunes or AppleTV (depending on if its music or audio). Since this feature can not be turned off, it can be quite annoying as it causes my computer to glitch when converting while simultaenously running my production software suites. Additionally, I often need to convert MP3 to WAV files and MOV files to MP4 files, so it automatically sends the new file to iTunes or AppleTV and then the file gets synced across all my iCloud enabled devices. This is exceptionally frustrating as the converted file is only needed for a piece of a larger project so I dont need it sent across all my devices.

Please fix this issue or reply with a solution and I will update this review to 5 stars.

Long list of devices to convert to but...

The device list for conversion is exstensive, but there are no file formats listed for those devices. I want to convert to a specific file format not just a particular device. Xbox one is not on the device list either, which is why I downloaded ths coversion program to bbegin with. I’m assuming that the 360 and Xbox One are not that different, but I have to convert a file than open the conversion folder to see what format it chooses for Windows vs Xbox 360. Very frustrating. I have not played the file I’ve converted so far and will return to edit this review upon doing so.
