Have you ever wanted to keep a video you find on the web and play it on your iPod?

If so, you'll enjoy Cosmopod. This effective little plugin lets you download and convert web videos in seconds. The addon supports all sorts of web formats, including FLV and Divx and can convert them into high quality iPod-ready videos thanks to H.264 and MPEG4 encoding. You can even drag and drop videos from your Mac and convert them with Cosmopod.

The plugin features an embedded player, so you can preview your encoded video and make sure it's what you want and that the quality is OK. Although it's a shame that Cosmopod only works with Safari, the plugin integrates perfectly with the Apple browser, thanks to a cleverly designed interface. You can also activate Growl support to get notified when conversions are finished.

Cosmopod is a little Safari plugin that will allow you to download any encode any web video to an iPod ready format.

With a plethora of portable music players around and the different type of audio file formats they each play, you're bound to have to convert your tracks every now and then. Switch has the advantage of being free and allowing you to quickly batch convert audio tracks. We were impressed by the number of output formats, more than a dozen, with all the common file types like mp3, wma or aac available. You'll also be able to set the bitrate, once again choosing from more than a dozen options and more importantly with a choice of variable or constant bitrate. Switch also features an error protection feature to enhance your recordings.

The toolbox feature is supposed to help you perform any audio task, but all it really does is automatically install extra software from the developer. We suggest using it only if you know precisely what you want to do and are ready to install a new application. Switch also has a feature to add CD album details from the freeDB database. Even though we tried it on a few well known tracks, it didn't really work.

Despite these drawbacks, Switch is a speedy audio converter with many features.
