Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


Any Mac / iPad people here who can advise?

I downloaded an episode of Play School using (Windows GUI downloader) iViewNapper, and the resulting MP4 file is about 5Mb.

Using a trial version of a video converter for iPad (Daniusoft iPad Video Converter), I set it to a profile "iPad Video H.264 (*.mp4)", and the result was a 22.4Mb file.

That seems a huge bloat in file size.

I assume it works on an iPad (yet to send it*). It plays well on VLC Media Player (Windows), apart from the watermark imposed because the converter is a trial.

The MediaInfo description is available, if this helps. I would prefer to be able to use ffmpeg to do the conversion (though the Danuisoft GUI application is very nice).

* The email account (Hotmail) that I sent it to bounced it, message: "552 #5.3.4 message size exceeds limit"
