Finally posting an update. there's been over 2400 downloads so far. I was planning on making something just for the iphone when it comes out, but then realized no special codecs are needed.

There was an automator action on vallery.net about how to do the conversions from divx, xvid, etc if you need it.

There's been over 1000 downloads so far. Thanks for trying out my automator actions. I've been meanging to put together a screencast for those people who aren't familiar with automator yet. Look for that in the future. I haven't had time lately to improve the current software. I've got some other projects going on at the moment. I'll get back to it before too long though.

I uploaded a fix for the ffmpegaction. In order to install it you'll need to remove the previous action, which is located in $HOME/Library/Automator/ffmpegaction.action. It may not be necessary for everyone, but I had to do it, so you should too :).

There's been close to 700 downloads of the movie conversion actions. That's including qtexportaction and ffmpegaction. I appreciate any comments you may have to offer, and I'll probably keep working on these actions as long as there's some interest in them.

My next update will probably be to update the interface on qtexportaction to match the new ffmpegaction interface. I might also work on adding the preview movie to the 3G movies since there was a request for that. I don't really use that format, but it would be interesting to see if I can get some movies working on my cell phone.

The initial test release of the ffmpeg action is here. I'm not sure if it will work on the new intel based macs. I've only tested it on my powerbook so far. This action has the new interface that lets you choose frame rate information as well as size of the exported movies.

please leave feedback in the comments section as I'm not positive this will work yet.

There have been over 500 downloads of the quicktime export action (qtexportaction) and still counting. I was real close to finishing the ffmpeg action last week but didn't quite make it. I've been really swamped at work this week and haven't really had the time to work on it anymore. I've got most of my earlier issues resolved. I was having a problem with the destination not being set properly, I think that's mostly behind me now. Another thing that dragged it out was the new frame rate, and size options, which aren't present in the quicktime version. I need to do some more testing and figure out a proper way to package this thing.
