Convert anything that lands on your desktop

Sometimes a file arrives and your Mac just stares back at you. Wrong wrapper, weird codec, or a DVD that thinks it’s still 2003. That’s where a decent converter sorts things out — a torrent video converter you can trust to chew through whatever you throw at it.

What goes in this drawer

We’ve rounded up twelve that still pull their weight. Some are workhorses like Adobe Media Encoder and Compressor. Others keep it simple — Permute does one job with barely a window. GraphicConverter 12 sneaks in because it handles ancient video formats nobody else remembers, and DVDFab still deals with stubborn discs. Grab a cuppa, pick one, and get that file playing.
