Hey Everyone, I just released my 4th non-game app, Video ASCII Art. After a long battle with Apple's approval process (a simple phone call could have saved 4 weeks of waiting for them to copy/paste the wrong auto-response) it was finally approved today. The app takes any video file and converts it into an ASCII Art video file. Check it out here, description below. Any feedback is welcome, if it gains any traction I'd love to add new features and work on the app more. Thanks!

EDIT : It may take 15-30 minutes to propagate through Apple's servers, it looks like it's not loading for me yet

Video ASCII Art is a powerful video generator that converts digital movies into amazing looking text art videos. In addition to processing a wide variety of video files, Video ASCII Art also processes still photos. Multithreading uses all of your computer’s processors for blazing fast conversions on all types of video. Output art to both black/white text and full color, with the ability to export plain mp4, text, html, tif, and rtf files. A user editable character set adjusts the available characters to be used, while the maximum character width option controls the finished product size. Real time still image previews make for easy source image tweaking, allowing for the best possible results to be obtained.

Compatible source videos include, but are not limited to, mp4, m4v, mov, avi, mkv, mpg. Compatible images include jpeg, png, gif, bmp, psd, tif, tga, jpg, tiff, and more. Output quality greatly depends on the input file. Often images such as clip art work better than sources such as digital photos. High image contrast and a clean white background always helps. Your milage may vary, experiment!
