The download link on that site is broken, which doesn't really surprise
me; and I wouldn't advise it anyway. This is another in a long line of
simple GUI wrappers (typically Qt) around open source (ffmpeg, others)
video conversion tools. A search for "video converter" results in many
hits of copies of copies of copies of GUI wrappers like this. None of
them are written very well, and beyond a GUI, they typically offer only
a subset of functionality in the open source tools they use.

FYI, I used my default preset for Apple 1080p 60fps (optimized for
quality) when I converted the video for Patty. You could certainly use
less meaty settings if file size is a concern.
