One of the few converters that creates well encoded results. No timestamps problems - playing smooth all the way.

A bit expensive though.

I have been long looking for one solution that does it all and that just works - Roadmovie is the one.

As a non-english speaking person I very much appreciate the ability to include soft and hardcoded subtitles.

And whenever there is a problem, the developer answers almost instantly. Definitely recommended !

The program claims to export to "popular devices", but exporting to MPEG-2 DVD (which is a very popular device) is UNsupported. The program claims "SSA/ASS subtitles support", but font styles and text positions (specified inside SSA/ASS subtitles) are UNsupported.

CatherineB, you're absolutely right, at $29 RoadMovie is pretty halfassed comparatively. I inherited it at work, and it's been on my computer for two years, during which I have not used it even once because it's just so weak.

Thanks for stimulating me to nuke it from my Mac to make room for something of value, like iFFmpeg — which has become the best video encoder/transcoder/re-/muxer/etc. app available in probably the shortest development time in the history of electricity — and for only $10 !!! Finally we have an even more capable replacement for VisualHub. iFFmpeg can do almost anything and is easy peasy to use. However, if you're shooting for professional quality encoding it's not quite as much a no-brainer as VH was, but it can achieve video quality that VH could only dream of — if you know what you're doing. And if it doesn't have a feature you need, just email the developer and he'll usually add it for you within a few weeks.

I always try to remux a vid into a more appropriate container for my needs before going down the transcoding route, and for that there are a couple of easier apps (primarily remux, ps3muxer, Vidconvert, Permute, or for Matroska files there's MKVTools, among others). Finally the Mac has some options for dealing with Matroskas.

It does what it suppose to do. Subtitling movies. And does a good job at it too.

Should also mention that soft subtitled movies when viewed on my Touch (4th Gen) have weird line spacing. On a two line subtitle the top line is where you would expect it but the bottom line is right at the bottom edge of the screen.

I'm using RoadMovie 2.1 and soft subtitled movies just show up as black screens in Front Row. Audio works though. But I can't understand what they're saying.

Unfortunately this is an old bug in Front Row. It has been reported to Apple several times over the years but they seem to have stopped the development of Front Row.

This is a great update to RoadMovie. The ability to use ffmpeg and to create your own presets witht the ffmpeg command line is a real plus.

Overall a great update to an already excellent application.

I recently bought Roadmovie for mac. not only the app integrates really great in mac environment, but it's also great at what it is supposed to do : translate movie for macintosh devices like ipod, appletv, adding subs etc ... It really works like magic.
And if like me you unfortunately have a problem with the app due to the configuration of your mac, the developer really does an amazing job at correcting the bugs, in a very short time, so you can keep going with the app with fun and ease... So in the end the bug correction is really personalized ... Frankly I didn't expect so much. Greta app ! great developer ! Great reactivity ! A must have !

I really like roadmovie as it has everything all in one and support for the turbo.264.

I love the auto tagging, awesome.

But I can't seem to export to mp4 only mov, that seems a bit weird to me.

If you could export to mp4, I would have given 5 stars.

Make sure you have the latest PSP firmware. Mount your PSP memory stick using USB or a memory stick reader. Make sure you have a folder named VIDEO at the root level of the memory stick. If not, you need to format your memory stick. Export your movie using the PSP preset and save it to the VIDEO folder on the memory stick. Done! You can also create a Destination that points directly to the VIDEO folder on the PSP so you don't even have to move them in there manually ;-)

Ignore my previous comment please.

I've solved the problem.

Here is some feedback (if someone else should have the same issues)
-First of all, I had the latest version for the Elgato Turbo.264. Version 1.3 is the most recent one (today)!
-Since I own this stick for some time I updated the Elgate software via the build in software update function. I was always up to date this way.
-But it seems there is a "small" problem when you used the build in auto update function from Elgato's software regarding RoadMovie.
-The solution is to manual download the most recent version (today version 1.3) from the Elgato Web site.
-Quit & Trash your current version from the Elgato software, even when it's up to date and version 1.3!
-Install the latest version (today version 1.3). That's simply drag & drop from the image into the Programs folder.
-Launch the new downloaded version from the Elgato software (make sure your Elgato USB stick is attach to your Mac).
-Depending your hardware the Elgato software will launch as before. Or you will guided to the process.
-You can Quit the Elgato software now and you will see that the Elgato Turbo.264 will work again with RoadMovie.

It seems that RoadMovie was the only program that did not worked (on my hardware) with the Elgato software (version 1.3) which was updated with Elgato's build in software update!

The solution is plain simple ;). Dowload the most recent version from the Elgato Web site for your hardware (Turbo.264 & Turbo.264 HD)! Trash the Elgato software you use & install the version you just downloaded. That's it ;).

Many thanks to the 'Support Team" from RoadMovie! They are, as written before, great & very helpful!
I give 5 stars "+" now :-D.
