If you just want to extract audio from video on Mac OS X, choose audio format (MP3, WAV, AAC)

If you want to resize video, you can change video and audio settings manually, say, set a lower bit rate to compress the video. To do so, just select a format and you'll see a Gear button that appears at the top right corner of the format icon. Click it to open the settings dialog and customize the output settings as you want. Note that Smart Fit technology ensure the best settings are used for the selected format. Only change it if you know what the option means.

If you want to join several video files into a single file on Mac, just drag and drop all your files to the app, and then switch on Merge mode at bottom, or head to File menu > Merge > to merge all files into one. By doing so, you will get only one output file instead of multiple separated files.

If you convert lots of video files in one go, you're suggested to set the option "When all jobs finished" to Shut Down My Computer so the app will shut down your Mac automatically for you.
