From 3ivx: Designed for professionals, 3ivxCrush converts MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files to the MPEG-4 format. Create your own templates or use the bundled ones for encoding audio and video for the iPod, Sony PSP, 3GPP or web distribution.

3ivxCrush is a video compression application that converts MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and DV video to VBR MP4 or QuickTime MOV files using the 3ivx MP4 plugin (or any QuickTime codec installed on your machine, including H.264)

Files compressed with 3ivxCrush play back in the standard QuickTime install on Windows or Mac OS and can be viewed with VLC Media Player on Linux.
The application allows you to balance your needs between compression speed, output quality and smallest file size.
3ivxCrush creates files with awesome quality that are as small as possible for the quality level you desire.
3ivxCrush plays nice with all your processors! Do you have a Dual or Quad processor Macintosh? 3ivxCrush will encode as many simultaneous videos as your computer has processors. No per processor tax. You can even continue to use the application (and all other you are running) while it is compressing a batch unlike other popular compression programs.
MPEG-2 compression is often wasteful with regards to file size. Most MPEG-2 files converted to VBR MP4 with 3ivxCrush will end up at half to third the original size with virtually no quality loss.
Filters such as de-interlacing, frame rate adjustment, scaling, cropping and normalizing are built in.
User notifications with Growl.
Compatible with the QuickTime Streaming Server and Darwin Streaming Server.

3ivxCrush is FAST!

720 x 480 video can compress in real-time or faster on a G5.
