Bigasoft iTunes Video Converter Compared: Best Settings and Formats

Overview

Bigasoft iTunes Video Converter converts many input formats (AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV, MOV, MP4, 3GP, WebM, AVCHD, etc.) to iTunes‑compatible outputs (MP4, M4V, MOV) and audio (MP3, M4A, AAC, AIFF). It includes presets for Apple devices, basic editing (trim, crop, merge, subtitles), batch conversion, and adjustable encoding parameters.

When to choose which format

• MP4 (H.264 + AAC) — Best general choice: wide device compatibility, good quality-to-file-size balance. Use for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and most desktop players.
• M4V — Use when preserving iTunes metadata or for some iTunes workflows; functionally similar to MP4.
• MOV — Useful when preserving QuickTime features or for macOS editing workflows.
• Audio outputs (MP3, M4A/AAC, AIFF) — Use M4A/AAC for better quality at lower bitrates; MP3 for maximum compatibility; AIFF for lossless/uncompressed needs.

Recommended encoder settings (presets → custom tweaks)

Use an Apple device preset when available; otherwise apply these recommended custom settings:

• Video codec: H.264
• Container: MP4 or M4V
• Resolution:
  • Phone: 1280×720 (720p) or device native (e.g., 1334
