Last week we brought you some amazing software tools to change the way you watch video on your iPad, iPhone, and Mac. Digiarty’s MacX DVD Ripper Pro Streamer Edition software is being given away free to all Cult of Mac readers until May 2nd. Not only can this easy-to-use software package rip your DVD collection and put the movies on your Mac, but it can also stream the files to your iPad or iPhone.

But wait, it gets better. Digiarty has also decided to throw in their MacX Video Converter Pro software as well,  so you can convert any video file into something that will play on your iPad or iPhone. MacX Video Converter Pro will convert MKC, M2TS, AVCHD, AVI, WMV, and YouTube FLV videos files into to MP4 & h264 files that are friendly with the iPad and iPhone.

Another sweet feature of MacX Video Converter Pro is that it can download website video from YouTube, Vimeo, MySpace, Metacafe, etc. Now your favorite viral Internet videos can be saved on your computer for you to use whenever you want. Remix your favorite cat videos. Create new Rebecca Black and Madonna GIFs. Or just do something crazy amazing like mashing up the Lion King with The Dark Knight Rises. What you do is up to you, but you have to enter the giveaway to get your free copy.

Here’s how to get your copy:

We’ve been giving out free stuff all week via Twitter, and while today is no exception we’ve decided to spice things up by having a Twitter Trivia Giveaway. If you’d like to join our two other winners and receive a free iMainGo X we’d be happy to have one sent to you as long as you play by the rules.

Feel like you’re always playing catch up with your techie pals when it comes to sporting the latest Apple mobile devices? Now it’s your turn to take the lead by initiating warp speed. Enter the CLEAR iSpot^(TM),  a 4G speed personal hotspot, that takes your mobile experience into hyperdrive.

Exclusively for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch users, the iSpot can connect up to eight WiFi-enabled Apple mobile devices in any Clear^(R) coverage area. Password protection keeps pesky outside users out of your hotspot so you’re ensured a secure connection.

Because style is important to you – you’re part of the Cult, after all – the small, sleek, all-white look syncs well with Apple designs. As for practicality, it fits in your pocket, so you’re always guaranteed a connection, and a super fast one at that. Plus, the battery life and rechargability guarantees you hours of continuous use. Think of the iSpot^(R) as bringing balance to the force of iPhone’s notorious low battery issues (sorry, Steve, but it’s true).

And how’s this for on-the-go awesomeness — you can even connect from the car! Just don’t surf and drive! Streaming Pandora^(R) music or live sports radio, though, now that’s totally acceptable. Other cool uses include streaming unlimited video and staying connected with work and social media contacts.

The iSpot is available nationwide from https://www.clear.com, and available in CLEAR^(R) retail stores and authorized dealers.
