Incredible app for converting TV series (it can convert any type of movie, but for TV series it is perfect).
I have a workflow where Automatic finds every new episode, downloads the torrent file and opens it in Transmission, which downloads it to a specific TV folder where iVI Pro picks it up, converts it and imports it into iTunes. ¡Everything without user intervention!
I did compare iVI Pro in terms of ease of use, convenience and encoding quality with other solutions (Miro Video Converter, Media Rage, DVDRemaster, Handbrake, etc...) and I think this is the best software for TV series that arrive every week.
I hope you

This is an incredibly useful tool. It does everything I want while working in a hands on mode. BUT, it is most amazing when it runs unattended. …

I have set it up with Transmission, and Catch, for unattended download, conversion, and import into the proper, movie/TV section go iTunes, which is shared to my AppleTV2. …

Now I only need to check the AppleTV, to see what is new.

Overall its good value. It does as specified, and has not at any time failed me.
I'd like to see a better interface and a faster import/conversion time for movies.
Compared to the many other similar apps I've used over the years, this one would be the easiest to use, but its not quite drag and drop..

I find it suits all of my needs: runs unattended, does conversions while updating metadata, and puts the results in my itunes folder. What else can you expect?

VisualHub continues to be an amazingly useful and simple conversion app, but I was looking to replace it with something that pulls metadata from the internet to streamline my video conversion and importing workflow. This app 'technically' does the job but there was one issue I could not look past when using this app, and that's the most horrible non-Mac-like user interface ever. It's just painful to use, and there are many vague options and commands that only exist by control-clicking or other non-obvious methods. Do yourself a favor and check out the free app Video Monkey (among others) before pulling out the credit card for this clunker.

Are you nuts? This runs totally unattended, does a fantastic job and is intuitively Mac-like. What version are you using? VisualHub s the most un-Mac-like app in the universe. Its one step above command line. It does a great job, but is no comparison.

I am sorry if I was too enthusiastic for your taste. As for the details I provided, I was simply following macupdate's guidelines for writing good reviews (i.e. "be detailed and specific").

I have tons of old videos that I have wanted to watch on my Apple TV but could never figure out how to convert to iTunes format. I found iVI on MacUpdate and am so excited about how it works. It couldn't have been more simple for me te use (gotta love drag and drop!) I have videos in avi and wmv that I haven't been able to watch in ages adn we were able to enjoy some old family videos when we got together for a family BBQ on the 4th! Thanks South Pole Software.

One recommendation...it'd be nice if you could resize the drop window.

This software fills a gaping hole for iPad/iPhone/Apple TV users. There is nothing like it. If you want to use one of those Apple devices for video then this is a must have app.

Why do I say that? It will convert any type of video and load it into iTunes in formats for iPad/iPhone/iPod and/or Apple TV. Before getting iVI I tried using Handbrake, VideoMonkey, etc. One problem with them -- they do an OK job of converting video files ..... and that is where they stop. iVI will download metadata for TV show episodes. It will automatically load converted files into iTunes.

In short, iVI just works and saves you time and effort!!!

For me, the key driver here is the iPad. If you want to use iPad to view video outside of your home -- like on plane trips, or waiting for your wife while she is shopping -- then you will want to get this app. Other tools let you stream video in your house, but they don't load into iTunes so you can take it with you. And they don't reate versions for Apple TV or iPad/iPod/iPhone. And for a medium collection, getting/checking meta data like title, episode number, etc is essential.

Don't take my word for it. Download the trial version and see for yourself.

Why not use AirVideo for iPad?

It will let you stream media on your home network BUT also (batch) convert video files to import them on the iPad for example. The conversion process is very quick: it usually takes 20-25min for a 45min 720p video file.

It costs only 3$ for the iPad app on the AppStore and the Mac software is free.

(I am not affiliated in anyway with AirVideo. Just a happy customer.)

I don't know exactly what do you mean when you say that my review is "baked". I was just presenting JOEYPERRO an alternative to iTVI, which does more (regarding his needs) and costs alot less.

I meant that it is way too effusive and hits all the important marketing points to have been written unprompted by just a 'satisfied customer.' If I'm wrong, my mistake and I'm sorry. Nevertheless, you might consider writing more critical and less obsequious reviews.

Sorry, SEVAN, I forgot to mention that my comments were aimed at JOEYPERRO's review, not yours. When anyone clicks 'Reply' to a review their comments are placed in the 'Replies' box beneath it. Is that not obvious, or did I click the wrong 'Reply' link?
