Kigo Video Converter
Kigo Video Converter is a free utility for macOS designed to convert video files between different formats and codecs. It offers a straightforward interface for batch processing and supports conversion to formats suitable for playback on various devices and platforms. The app was intended for users who needed to re-encode video libraries or prepare videos for specific playback scenarios without learning complex command-line tools.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionKigo Video Converter has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer supported or maintained. While an older build of the app may still run under Rosetta 2 on Intel-based Macs today, the app will cease to function entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). There is no native Apple Silicon build, and the developer is not issuing updates. If you still rely on this app for video conversion, you should migrate to an actively maintained alternative. HandBrake is a free, open-source video converter with a native Apple Silicon build that handles a wide range of formats and devices — it is the most direct replacement for Kigo's core functionality. FFmpeg (via command-line or a GUI wrapper like Permute) is another powerful free option. For a more polished graphical experience, consider paid tools like Compressor (part of Final Cut Pro) or Encoder from Adobe Media Encoder if you are already in that ecosystem.
