iVI
iVI is a video conversion utility for macOS that converts video files into formats optimised for Apple devices including iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs and Macs. It supports a wide range of input formats (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV and others) and can produce output in multiple resolutions from 4K and 1080p HD down to 480p SD, as well as modern codecs like HEVC/H.265 and H.264. Beyond basic conversion, iVI automatically fetches and applies metadata such as movie posters, episode descriptions, cast and crew information from services like MovieDB and TVDB, so converted files integrate seamlessly into iTunes, Plex and other media libraries. The Pro version also supports DVD import. iVI is used by people building and maintaining personal video collections for playback across multiple Apple devices.

Download the current version from the official iVI website (southpolesoftware.com) and install it to replace your Intel build. The app's conversion engine and metadata handling will run natively on Apple Silicon, delivering faster video processing and improved battery life on M-series Macs.
