DESCRIPTION
CosmoPod is an extension to Apple Safari that helps you save videos to an iPod friendly format. It downloads almost all web videos (FLV, Windows Media (mms) and Real Media stream (rtsp), WMV, DivX, ...) and can import them (after conversion to MPEG4 or H.264 encoding) to your iTunes in one-click.

Additionally, you can also convert videos you have on your hard drive (ie: your DivX collection) at anytime with a simple drag & drop.

Take YouTube, Google Video, Daily Motion, RealOne and many more with you... everywhere.

WHAT'S NEW

COMPUTA-TUTA  I paid for and installed CosmoPod in May 2009 and it worked for a few months. I upgraded to SL in September and CosmoPod would not work with standard 64-bit Safari. Now this guy wants more cash for a program that should have been SL compatible when I bought it 4 months before.. I don't know what agenda he is running here but unless he gets his pricing sorted out, reviews like this are gonna finish his development on the Mac platform! This guy will not be getting any more cash from me until he can prove that he's not gonna bill me every 4 months to get his software to work! CosmoPod is getting removed from my Mac as of NOW!

GARY W.  Will not work for me on 10.4.11. Installs fine, takes registration number, but icon stays grayed out in the presence of videos being played.

Reinstalled 3.1 and that works fine.

ALIENDUDE  I had the same problem. Notified dev. via email and got a prompt response. He sent me a

link to a fixed version that works better with 10.4.11. Now Cosmopod recognizes all the

sites it always has in the past. But, I crash alot ever since I installed it. Just waiting for a posted update.

TRANQY  Bought this from MacUpdate Promo in April.

Developer decided not to provide upgrades to the snow leopard compatible version.

My purchased software worked for less then 6 months before being orphaned by the developer and asked to pay for an upgrade.

Using a free firefox extension instead now. I'd rather stay in safari, but I will not support this company since they did not support their customers.

Here's the email thread from the developer for anyone interested.

SHMK  I second this one, I bought it on its one around the beginning of May as well. I think am upgrade fee within six month is bollocks especially considering there aren't any new features. and 3.9 euros where I am is closer to $10. Bollocks the 3.1 he talks about doesn't even work in Safari running 32-bit it completely crashes Safari. How do we go so quickly from 3.1 to 4 anyhow... I know looking for more $$$ for a compatibility update. Lame.

DRZOOM  I installed cosmopod but is not working on my MacBook with Snow leopard...

since after I had install the Snow Leopard, just when it came out, I made a copy of the Safari on 32 bit to get Cosmopod working, before to install this version of Cosmopod I erased the 32 bit Safari... therefore:

I opened the Cosmopod installer I clicked uninstall and after I did the Install but it doesn't show in the Safari's bar

I'm using Cosmopod since June 2007, I think the version was 1.9, but now what I should do to get it working?

F451  Open Safari. Go to the toolbar at the very top of your screen (not the one Safari window) choose View / Customize Toolbar. A dialog window will open, and you will see the CosmoPod button. Drag the button to where you want it located in Safari's open window toolbar. That's it!

DRZOOM  today I realized that I don't have anymore Cosmopod on my Safari...

I tough maybe after Installing Leopard Snow it was erased, I downloaded again and reinstalled it, but even if I got " the Install was successfully" it is still not showing on Safari.

It is not compatible with Snow Leopard?

MACSOLU  Just installed this update, along with TabExposé and SafariTabs -- now I cannot use my mouseball/wheel to scroll up or down web pages while viewing them in Safari. I have yet to troubleshoot, but at least one of these three plug-ins is the culprit.

MACSOLU  Looks like TabExposé is the culprit -- I will be contacting the developer. CosmoPod is functioning just fine.

GARY W.   I'm experiencing a problem with Cosmopod and 10.5.8. Certainly not a big deal in the whole scheme of things, but annoying in that it conflicts with years of learned behavior.

The problem is that with Cosmopod installed, (paid and registered) when you hit the Safari icon in the dock or elsewhere, (with Safari already running but windows closed) a new window does not pop up, contrary to normal behavior. Uninstalling Cosmopod fixes the problem.

Unless I'm missing some setting or something, I assume this is a bug easily fixed, and that the next revision will address it. Otherwise, I love the application, as it makes it pathetically easy to download and convert video.

GARY W.   My apologies. After further consideration, it appears the problem with the new window not coming up is still cropping up even after deinstalling Cosmopod. It seems like you can get a new window perhaps 2 or 3 times, but then nothing. With Cosmopod, it would only come up once and then no more.

I therefore cannot say that Cosmopod is necessarily my problem, although it seems like it somehow affects the severity of it. I suspect the root of the problem is elsewhere, like with me perhaps. :-)

GARY W.   Cosmopod completely innocent! Sorry, Cosmopod. The problem was the search add-on "Glims", which needs to be updated to address conflict issues with latest Safari updates.

Uninstalled Glims and put back Cosmo. All working fine now.
