Miro Video Converter
Miro Video Converter is a simple, free video conversion tool based on FFmpeg that converts nearly any video format (AVI, MOV, WMV, MKV, FLV, etc.) into MP4, WebM, or Ogg Theora files suitable for playback on iPhones, iPods, Android phones, and other portable devices. It offers no granular encoding settings or editing capabilities — instead it provides preset profiles for specific devices and relies on automatic optimization. The app also supports basic thumbnail generation. It has been popular with casual users seeking straightforward, no-frills format conversion without complex configuration options.

1 suggestionMiro Video Converter has not been updated in over a decade — the final release (version 3.0) was published in November 2012, and there is no record of any native Apple Silicon build ever being released. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs today, but Apple is removing Rosetta entirely in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point this Intel-only build will stop launching. Rather than wait for an update that may never arrive, consider switching to HandBrake, a free and actively maintained video converter that runs natively on Apple Silicon. HandBrake is more powerful than Miro — it offers far greater control over encoding settings, supports more formats and devices, handles batch processing well, and is regularly updated. If you need something closer to Miro's simplicity, FFmpeg command-line tools (installed via Homebrew) provide the same underlying conversion engine without a GUI, but do require some familiarity with terminal commands.
