A full version number upgrade and they don't even explain what's changed? Clearly this is just an effort to get a little cash out of the halfassed effort these devs put in over the past 3 years that yielded exactly diddly squat.

I see version 2.0 on the App Store but there's far too little information. 8^(

And the world still waits for a successor to VisualHub...

I doubt anyone would have believed the wait would have been so long and painful...

Kind of like the Great Pumpkin, I've got my doubts that we're ever going to SEE this mythical successor arrive...

Love it. I only do one thing with it though. Convert divx/xvid avis to play on my iphone. I can cue up a whole directory of files and just let it do it's thing :)

Ugly app icon though. It lacks any form of padding, and is just too large to fit in with the other icons on the dock. Not very elegant at all.

The interface is almost perfect. There's just a few items that need a little more polishing;
The "save to" input widget needs to be separated from the "Edit" button.
The progress indicator seems a little bit misaligned.
The start button is a bit fuzzy. Up/Downscaling issue?

VisualHub you say? It got my attention and could not wait to give it a try.

Bummer ... I do not want to go into details here but this is just plain not usable in ANY way.
It gave me more errors then any other program I tried ever on my iMac with OSX10.6.1 installed.
Almost nothing worked like it was working with VHUB.
If the developer is using the old source he surely totally messed it up in a bad manner.

This is a joke right?
Come on, this tool doesn't even comes close to "becoming" a converter.
It is bad - unbelievable B A D.

Handbrake is also free AND it works. Period

I thought. Wow finally I get an updated version of "VisualHub", but hell now. The "converting" plain s*cks. Used a MOV File and wanted a MP4 - yeah I got an MP4, but out of 3:28 Minutes a 0:58 Minutes file was the result - WTF?!??

I then did the same conversion with VisualHub - smooth as silk.

Yeah its free - but if it doesn't work - why use it?!?

I've been having quite a bit of trouble with ReduxEncoder. At first I was experiencing the error noted below on Leopard ("illegal comparison or logical"). Now on Snow Leopard (10.6.1), the old problem is gone away, but new issues have popped up. First I tried converting an XviD AVI file to DVD. The conversion to the MPG file went fine, but it would not proceed past that point to authoring the DVD structure. Whether I selected burnable image, VIDEO_TS folder, or burned DVD, after the conversion was done, "Authoring DVD" (or something like that) would pop up for a about a second above the progress bar, then it would claim the process was finished, leaving only the MPG file. Next I tried converting an H.264 MP4 file. With MEncoder decoding, it ran for about 5 minutes, then claimed it was finished. The result was a 400 MB partial MPG file. Trying the same conversion with VLC decoding never got past the "Starting conversion" phase. I know that ReduxEncoder is a work in progress, but I do hope that it reaches a fairly stable and usable state in the near future. It looks promising in many respects and is free, so I'm optimistic that it will turn out to be a worthy successor to the venerable VisualHub.
