JON_ATLANTA Does anyone know how to uninstall CosmoPod? It keeps bugging me to upgrade, even though I never purchased it after trying the demo, and I'd like to uninstall it but can't for the life of me figure out how... | |

MACUPDATE ADMIN Just checked, from the Pacific coast of Mexico, the developer site is accessible and the file is downloadable. The problem appears to be at your end, try another browser, clear your browser cache, restart your Mac, whatever works.

GARY30 CosmoPod is the most useful utility for the money of all the web related video utilities I have. If you are a Safari user and like to view some video content offline, this Application Enhancer makes is a one click solution. The developer stays right on top of Safari updates and I have never had a hang or other glitch involving CosmoPod. There is an "equivalent" free plug-in for Firefox, FlashGot. It is frustrating for me in that is wants to download each and every flash animation on a given web page and preserves the often bewildering names. In my view it not as useful as CosmoPod.

WILE E. Although I am a recent convert to CosmoPod I have been very impressed and bought a license immediately. The cost of a license right now is too good to pass this by. Smooth, fast, and seamless to both download and convert virtually any video. The ability to edit metadata is a powerful addition. Works perfectly under the recent release of Safari 4 Beta for me. | |

MAC4MYLIFE I have been using Cosmopod since its birth and I have never found better than this. Though, there is a feature that drives me nuts and I didn't find any thing that could help me. Each time the file is converted, it generates "cosmopod" at the end of the file name and I don't want that. IE: What hurts the most from a dog's Eyes-CosmoPod.mp4 I tried to get rid of it with the preferences but so far, couldn't make it. I have to erase manually one file at a time that generated name. Anyone knows how to get rid of it automatically?

this version should fix the error encountered in the previous comment. Also, you can get CosmoPod for €4.90 until next year. Merry Christmas.

TICE Well this thing "detects" just nothing. Even on YouTube(!!) no green button. The only plus here: It has an Uninstall-button.

GARY30 Looking closely I noticed pixelation on the H.264 (best quality) conversions I was doing from some flv files using version 2.7. In experimenting with the preferences I discovered that unchecking the "Use original bitrate when converting" preference eliminated the pixelation i was seeing. I don't know if this was an artifact of the particular flv files I was working with, but if you see pixelation you might give this preference a try.

OZZPOT I have used CosmoPod for ages, and would hate to be without it now, but ever since updating to 2.5, the format conversion has stopped working. The MPEG-4 file produced is damaged and cannot be played by any application, and when inspected, appears to be 0kb in size. At the moment I'm having to convert the downloaded flv file using iSquint. This is the case for every video I've downloaded since 2.5, from several different websites.

SCHUBERT I have owned CosmoPod for quite a while, and I must say with complete confidence... If you want the best video downloader, buy CosmoPod. I have tried almost everything available, and CosmoPod simply works best in every category. It's fast, the interface is easy to use, the software installs quickly and the developer stands behind the product second to none.
