STARBARK  why? is visualhub a better conversion app? details will be very much appreciated  
(Version 2.8)

SMTIPS  No ability to specify WHAT avi format to output. There's only sevaeral standard formats one could use. This only gives cinepak compression, or DV formats or BMP..BMP? Windoze? Where's the XVID, DIVX, DX50 or other common avi support? Why would this app have a problem with outputting avi format if Flip4Mac is installed, which allows viewing of Windoze Media on a mac? Why would I want to disable Flip4Mac to output an avi?

No format or codec info given about current movie - Video Track, Audio Track? What's that mean?

No progress time indicator. Just a bar.

Impossible to HIDE this app or even to minimize it to the dock...it just pops right back up!

Three basic types of audio compression formats to output. Alaw, IMA, or uLaw. Or None. No mp3 or other common audio support offered in every other conversion app.

The interface and view window look nice...LOL...otherwise it appears to be just what it is...a pre-version 1 program. Should be called a beta.

TACHY0N  As of version 2.9 it couldn't handle .MOD files from a JVC camera. MOD files are actually a kind of MPEG-2.

I had to use VisualHub instead.

MERRY BOY  Converts to 3gpp so im happy i dont have to buy QT pro, Woo hoo!!!  
(Version 0.95)

SMTIPS  Hmmmmmm...wonder why the authors want my computer to connect to host142.ipowerweb.com on TCP port 80 (http) when I launch this program. There is no prefernce for checking for the latest version or not. I hate when people just want me to send (whatever) information without my express consent or knowledge.

Thanks again, Little Snitch, for tattling on authors who don't tell you the "whole story".

ORION MK. V  Works like a charm for conversions. Has plenty of options. Still seems to be free and this is Mar 06.  
(Version 0.91)

JEDIK  Not really free. The dev's site says it will start costing $10 on january. =\  
(Version 0.63)

RSMORPHY  Would be nice to be able to change window size, playback speed, pause, start, stop and loop by way of keyboard commands like VLC and Quicktime players. Not a standout for my needs.   
(Version 0.63)

DINKOARUN  A excellent interface. Plays almost all common formats. Also, provides the ability to export media files into varoius other formats. Would love to have preference options that would allow us to use either Quicktime or mplayer for playback.

MPYRE  for conversion use visual hub.
