KOSOVAR1  To Jeff H., chances are you won't know what will happen when you install VideoDrive because the bums who make it routinely refuse to include release notes. That's because the developer wants us to do their dirty work for them and this is really annoying. OK, if VideoDrive were free, I'd have no justification for complaining, but those of us who bought this program, we deserve better! By the way,since I updated to Snow Leopard, the last two or three updates absolutely refuse to convert a movie. I use VisualHub, a program that hasn't been developed in well over a year, to do my conversion. This is a testament to how crappy VideoDrive has become.

JEFF H.  Just got a brand new mini today running Snow Leopard and Video Drive won't work.

Keeps saying it needs to update Quicktime 7 and then quits.

Stinks...I really love this app.

Anyone have any ideas? Are there alternative apps for SL?

Thanks

TOM08  Works great on my 64bit Snow Leopard installation. Online metadata did work anymore, but an update was released the same day. Nice customer support!.

My only complaint is the quality of the downloaded images: they are ok, but not the best.

KOSOVAR1  To the mental muppet in the room, I expressed annoyance with developers who release tiny, incremental updates to their software practically every week (or twice a week), listing one or two "improvements" like "rounder buttons and other superficial interface elements, without making any significant usability or stability improvements. My complaint about VideoDrive last week is that it simply STOPPED CONVERTING MOVIES and I would like the developer to make it work again--because I paid for it-- not just to announce new shiny buttons or color scheme refinement. Developers like this produce frequent meaningless update announcements just to get more free exposure for their product, but they often won't do the hard work necessary to make a good product that was worthy of what I paid for it. In contrast, I gave the example of the noble VisualHub, which hasn't been updated IN YEARS because the developer discontinued work on it for personal reasons (and who very nobly stopped accepting payment for it because he was no longer doing the work), but IT somehow manages to convert my movies for me, whereas VideoDive will not. In contrast, if VideDrive is supposedly improving their software constantly, why doesn't it work anymore?

I'm sorry that you seem incapable of understanding my point or is it perhaps that you have some other agenda to defend a company's business model and practices or software that you want to refute as being defective for some, just because (you say) it works fine for you.  
(Version 1.10.1)

KOSOVAR1  Here's an update: Since the last ten times (at least) I've tried to convert a movie, VideoDrive 1.10.2 has failed miserably every time AND THIS IS WITH CHAPTERING TURNED OFF as the developer recommended. As described below, I have all components of MacOS 10.6.1 running in 64-bit mode. Nothing has changed in the last six weeks except that VideoDrive stopped converting movies. Amazingly, VisualHub has converted movies just fine and IT has not been updated in years. So as the months pass, apparently there's still no functional version of VideoDrive available for people running Snow Leopard in full 64-bit mode. It's getting to be a real bummer.  
(Version 1.10.1)

KOSOVAR1  The new beta of VideoDrive STILL DOES NOT seem to be compatible with Snow Leopard, at least not if you boot your Mac up with the 64-bit kernel enabled (as I do). I tried a few .avi to .mp4 conversions, formatted for AppleTV and they all hung within seconds. I have the new Apple QuickTime Player installed, but I retained Version 7 of QuickTime Pro during the 10.6 installation.  
(Version 1.10.1)

KOSOVAR1  The new VideoDrive beta still does not work with Snow Leopard.

I installed the today's beta of VideoDrive for Snow Leopard on my new iMac, exactly as Aroona software recommended here on MacUpdate's web ie and on Aroona's own website. I already have the QuickTime 7 components installed as part of Mac OS X 10.6. However, the beta doesn't work. After trying to import two .avi files, I got the following error messages: "QuickTime could not process your video. Please try again: QuickTime Player 7 got an error: Can’t get every chapter of document... (error: -1728) The second error message was "Import of [moviename].avi failed because QuickTime could not process your video. Please try again: QuickTime Player 7 got an error: Can’t get every chapter of document [moviename].avi. (error: -1728)"  
(Version 1.11b)

KOSOVAR1  I can confirm that VideoDrive no longer works now that Snow Leopard has been released. The problems seem to be related to QuickTime and Applescript. Either I get "stack overflow errors" or VideoDrive informs me that QuickTime is busy and that I need to "Quit QuickTime and try again," which I do, but to no avail. Under Leopard, VideoDrive was usually reliable, although slower to process avi files than VisualHub.

AROONA, can you please advise when a fix will be released and thank you in advance for a reply. Without a major fix, VideoDrive is dead in its tracks for those of us who have upgraded to MacOS 10.6.

2SHAE  Just a heads up for those experimenting with Snow Leopard...Videodrive currently doesn't work with Quicktime X.  
(Version 1.10.1)

MC_SHIZZEL  Just updated to version 1.10 and noticed that my copy is no longer registered. I remember reading somewhere when I purchased my license a couple of months back that all updates before version 1.9.x.x would be included for free so does that mean I have to purchase another license since it's no longer 1.9.x.x?

I can't find much information concerning licensing on the developer's website. If I need to buy a new license then I might as well go back to using version 1.9.8.07 because it does the job and I'm not interested in spending more money on features I most likely won't use.
