ANDYMOONAR I kept an eye on this tool for some time now. Waiting for a merge option. And waiting has paid off and I registered immediately. Already merged some H264 files with no hassle and the final result is clean and crispy. It is really mind blowing how many options you get to play with. Just amazing stuff really. Simple - easy - nice UI - advanced options - lots of video formats - flexible. This is truly a winner in it is play field. No doubt about that

KILLER KLOWN KAR I suppose my complaint are with people salivating over this app. Good it is, perfect it is not. Although the Developer has put a considerable amount of time and effort into it, there are things that could be better. http://yfrog.com/0nvisualhubtestp This is three screen captures, from an original VCD, VisualHub, and iVideo, notice slight color shift or a "washed out" look on the iVideo. I'm sure this can be tweaked, but the test was done using stock settings. Also, iVideo represents itself as a Audio tool also, yet can't convert a audio file to a Apple iPhone ringtone. And finally, the developer as added a join feature, yet I'm guessing expects us to generate a few 1:59:00 files to test it out. So everyone stop slagging off VisualHub. It still does the job just fine for most peope. This like I said is a good tool, but misses the mark as far as the slobbering platitudes that are being heaped upon it.

IVC DEVELOPER Yes, it took some time to implement. I only wanted to do this when it is possible with all codec iVC knows. As far as I know no other converter can stitch any codec to any other codec. I am quite pleased with the result. Said this, the only file format that cannot be stitched is .m2ts. Because of several format issues it is just not possible for the moment. All other codecs are ok. I will post a new update very soon with many improvements. Like a dedicated button on the main window for stitching, faster preparing of files, 2pass bug fix, .. If you find any issue concerning the stitching feature please mail me at info@ivideoconverter.net | |

IVC DEVELOPER Please note the stitching feature is not available in the trail version. This is done merely because of some technical issue and a two minute trail time is too little to stitch some videos anyway.

SAMCURBAIN It is safe to say this has become the leader in video converting. OK, VisualHUB was good but the interface is so awful it is a pain in the eye. It shows it ages now. VisualHUB also has problems and issues with several codecs. Besides the stitching feature it is not that good anymore. Anyway, iVC has clearly made a enormous progress and it is very stable and delivers high quality when you need it. Yes, the only negative thing I can think of is the lack of a stitching option but in general most people do not need this. This is a top notch product for audio and video converting purposes.

GAVIN CUTSHALL This is definitely the program to buy if you are still mourning the loss of VisualHub. The interface is great, and it can be expanded to allow for advanced user setting. The only feature I would suggest is automatically adding the file to iTunes post-processing. Or, alternatively, post process in MetaX. My apologies if the ability is already there and I'm not seeing it. Also note that the developer is very quick to answer questions or e-mail serials post-purchase. For the $10 US, there's just nothing better on the market.

TOKYOJERRY Gavin, greetings from Tokyo. I suggest communicate directly with the developer. I've communicated several emails with him already referencing suggestions I would like to see. He has been very communicable and enlightening as he continues to evolve this excellent swiss knife for conversions. A couple of the ideas I proposed already to him and he will place them on the 'todo' list are: 1. drag and drop a folder of video clips onto to IVC dock icon say, and launch the program as well as load the clips. 2. Create a short video tutorial on his website explaining very shortly, the myriad of advanced and advanced+ settings which go way over my head (and perhaps most people's heads). By having just a short explanation, and perhaps demo how to implement will go a long way. As the old saying goes, "A Picture says a 1000 words". :-)) Tokyo, Japan

STEVEN GOODHEART What a fabulous program - a Swiss army knife not only for video, but audio, as well. I found this looking for a program that would do good and quick conversion of those .flv files you get at some many sites when you want to grab a video. When I looked at all the kinds of audio and video files this program would convert, I was totally blown away. It handles dozens of common and obscure file types. It's got to be a power-user's delight, but it's great for simple stuff, too. For example, it gives you a much faster way than iTunes to convert batches of MP3s to m4as, and of course, can quickly turn your m4as to MP3s if you need to. Change a .wmv file to a .mov, or vice versa? Piece of cake. The interface is simplicity itself, but if you look "under the hood," there is incredible horsepower here to change all sorts of settings for video/audio conversion -- stuff that goes way beyond my understanding of how these files are put together, but if you're a power-user, the settings are there for you. With iVideo Converter, I am now confident that no matter what video or audio format I come across, I can find a way to convert or modify it to suit my needs. What could be better? A previous reviewer called this the "Graphic Converter" for video and audio files -- that's a real compliment, and in this case, well-deserved. Best of all, all these features and functions come for a little less than $10! I'm now a delighted registered user and recommend this program without reserve to anyone needing to manipulate and convert video and audio files.

DLWHITE I think the DEV didn't add the iso feature due to legal issues? But iVC also makes VOB files, which Toast can burn to DVD. Does anyone else have a better solution for how iVC can replicate VisualHub's super handy ISO creation or a simpler way to prepare files to be burned onto DVD?

ROBOTANK I'm aware of a couple possible solutions. There's an app called ReduxEncoder that's being developed based on VisualHub's code, and it also offers the ability to convert a video file into a burnable ISO image in one step. However, ReduxEncoder currently doesn't work very well. It's really buggy, and I haven't yet gotten it to properly complete a conversion to an ISO image (I've gotten it to create the MPG file, but it just stops before it creates the DVD structure and the disk image). It is a work in progress (and it's free), so it may be worth keeping an eye on. There are also two little shareware apps I know of, MovieConverterStudio and MovieGate, that convert video files then create menus and burn to disk. Though neither app creates ISO images directly, I imagine it would be simple enough to make a disk image with the VIDEO_TS folders they create using something like DMGConverter. I'm currently using MovieConverterStudio, and it generally works very well for me.

MAULRAT To the developer: Thanks very much for adding the higher bit rate selection for the audio ... bravo! I don't know if anyone else has this issue but when the program upgrades through its interface on startup it shuts down after it upgrades but it doesn't restart as I would expect it to like many other programs do ... its really not a big deal to restart the program manually but it would be a "niceity" if it rebooted on its own.

KILLER KLOWN KAR Kinda the GraphicConverter for Video. This has promise, but I have to agree a join video is needed. Also, while it's nice to have all the advanced settings a simpler method would be nice. As an example, if I want to crop 10 pixels off the bottom to get rid of the head roll, but still have my video at 480x360 there is no simple way to do it. Yes it can be done, but simple way to do it is the operative phrase here. Also, maybe I missed it but no video preview. :-( It's amazing how good Visual Hub really was, you don't miss your water until the well runs dry.

VisualHUB stitching doesn't work very well as far as I know. For example if the source video files are short, lets say -15secs, it just overlaps the movies instead of adding them. And it also seems to work good with avi output, other codecs have several issues. In short, if you know a good way to stitch video files with ffmpeg -> please send a mail to info@ivideoconverter.net

KILLER KLOWN KAR And of course the cat command. duh! CAT(1) BSD General Commands Manual CAT(1) cat -- concatenate and print files cat [-benstuv] [file ...] The cat utility reads files sequentially, writing them to the standard output. The file operands are processed in command-line order. If file is a single dash (`-') or absent, cat reads from the standard input. If file is a UNIX domain socket, cat connects to it and then reads it until EOF. This comple-ments complements ments the UNIX domain binding capability available in inetd(8). The options are as follows: -b Number the non-blank output lines, starting at 1. -e Display non-printing characters (see the -v option), and display a dollar sign (`$') at the end -n Number the output lines, starting at 1. -s Squeeze multiple adjacent empty lines, causing the output to be single spaced. -t Display non-printing characters (see the -v option), and display tab characters as `^I'. -u Disable output buffering. -v Display non-printing characters so they are visible. Control characters print as `^X' for con-trol-X; control-X; trol-X; the delete character (octal 0177) prints as `^?'. Non-ASCII characters (with the high bit set) are printed as `M-' (for meta) followed by the character for the low 7 bits. The cat utility exits on success, and >0 if an error occurs. will print the contents of file1 to the standard output. will sequentially print the contents of file1 and file2 to the file file3, truncating file3 if it already exists. See the manual page for your shell (i.e., sh(1)) for more information on redirection. cat file1 - file2 - file3 will print the contents of file1, print data it receives from the standard input until it receives an EOF (`^D') character, print the contents of file2, read and output contents of the standard input again, then finally output the contents of file3. Note that if the standard input referred to a file, the second dash on the command-line would have no effect, since the entire contents of the file would have already been read and printed by cat when it encountered the first `-' operand. head(1), more(1), pr(1), sh(1), tail(1), vis(1), zcat(1), setbuf(3) Rob Pike, "UNIX Style, or cat -v Considered Harmful", USENIX Summer Conference Proceedings, 1983. The cat utility is compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'') specification. The flags [-benstv] are extensions to the specification. A cat utility appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX. Dennis Ritchie designed and wrote the first man page. It appears to have been cat(1). Because of the shell language mechanism used to perform output redirection, the command ``cat file1 file2 > file1'' will cause the original data in file1 to be destroyed! The cat utility does not recognize multibyte characters when the -t or -v option is in effect. BSD March 21, 2004 BSD

I bumped into iVideo Converter today (I'm glad that MacUpdate users suggest other apps!) and after trialling it for 10 minutes, purchased a licence. It's quick, relatively simple, and I've already converted over 2GB of video files with little to no loss in definition. There are enough settings available to allow for the conversion of tricky files and formats too. Oh - and it can convert AVCHD (+Lite) files without breaking a sweat - something I've also beenon the look out for, and so it's a win-win for me, and five stars for the application. Well done Christopher!

Best of the three I tested. - Enormous amount of options to dig in. No documentation though and only some help tags. - PSP presets actually works for my PSP3000. Great! - Default settings gave good to very good quality. - 2 pass encoding works like it should. - Very good preview feature. Not seen in other converters. It actually shows the end result. The only issue I got with ivideo converter : it has no stitching option. For me this is clearly the best of the three I tested. The interface is really fantastic. The results are very good. If you need a free converter you certainly need Handbrake. But if you want just that bit more ivideo converter for 7eur is a steal!

By accident I discover this video converter. But it actually has audio converting possibilities I did not see in other audio converters. You can convert nearly every audio format to another audio format. No advanced Metadata support though.

I can assure you that they are Xvid files (VLC and Perian also shows them as Xvid). However, FFMPEG marks ALL Xvid movies (not only the one converted with iVC) as MPEG4. Don't exactly know why. That's why iVC is marking all Xvid files as MPEG4. FFMPEG isn't perfect :-)

I was really impressed by the beautiful interface. Nice I converted the same movies with the iPhone preset and the quality was much better then Handbrakes result. Cranked the output a bit with the high quality settings and I was very happy with the end result. Lucky for me most movies did not surpassed the 2 minutes limit of the demo so it was a free ride for me. But I surely would register for longer movies. As of now, this is my favorite converter. O-yes, only one minor issue I found is the estimation size doesn't always display a correct size.

(will post them later) Converting the same 50Mb video mpeg file to H264 was almost halved in converting time using version 2.0 Did you enabled 'Multi core support'? The most important difference is the optimised FFMPEG file. It is not the GUI of iVideo Converter doing the converting! Converning the OS X 10.6 readiness. The develop says it is the GUI is more geared at OS X 10.6. Not the core code. Apple dropped PPC not the developer of iVideo Converter so shoot Apple instead. :-)

MACTECHHEAD Some peculiar things said from the developer makes me wary of the program now! Developer claims to have changed the coding to make it faster. In reality there is no difference to the 32 bit Intel coding in version 2.0 or version 1.3.7. The only difference now is the newer ffmpeg file used and no more PowerPC code. I did a test a run on version 2.0 and version 1.3.7 on my iMac and there was no noticeable speed change. The developer says this new version is ready for 10.6, no it's not because where is the 64 bit coding???? Previously I would have given this tool 4 stars across because VisualHub even being defunct beats the snot out of iVideo Converters converting speed. But for this really odd claim to drop PowerPC support to make the program faster when in reality it doesn't make the slightest difference. I now give this tool a bad rating for sheer laziness and for misleading people!

A 64bit compiled app is not by definition faster then 32bit compiled app. On the contraire - it is mostly slower because of the larger chuncks of memeory it has to deal with. And a OS X 10.6 is also not by definition 64bit. Xcode still lets you choose 32bit or 64bit. As of the speed issues. I got really faster converting times but you have to enable multi core support in the prefs. I have send the developer a mail to make this enabled by default. It beats me why he/she didn't do this before.

MACTECHHEAD You can't read too well . Ho hum. Nothing new. Try reading my review carefully before spouting about gibberish. 10.6 is gearing the Mac community towards true 64 bit coding, there is none in this software. I couldn't care less if it's slower or faster because that wasn't my point earlier. You also proved my point that VisualHub still does a much faster job. Considering the source for VisualHub is freely available and a new project has adopted the source. I think I'd rather wait for that project instead of wasting time on this slower shareware program. And just because Apple discontinued support for PowerPC computers with 10.6 doesn't give developer's the excuse for dropping support for them too. That's just an insult to all the people that paid for software only to be slapped in the face. There is no reason why to drop support for them. How hard is it to download the specific ffmpeg file for the computer it was being used on. An optimized ffmpeg file for PowerPC and one for Intel. Or is RealBasic that hard to understand considering that was what iVideo Converter was written in. But you are right about one thing. I didn't bother to check the preferences options where I found the multi-core support checkbox you mentioned. Had I known of it's existence earlier I would have used it. Which proves another point about laziness on the developer's part for not having the software prompting me when I launched the program if I wanted to use more than one CPU to speed things up.

I have stated that the GUI (read: looks) is more geared at OS X 10.6 and never said the front-end is 64Bit compiled code. OS X 10.6 is all about HUD windows and therefore I opted to implement this. I also mentioned very clear the FFMPEG is Intel optimized and not the GUI. After all, FFMPEG is doing all the hard work not the frontend. The FFPMEG binary is compiled with several x86 optimizations (like enabled MMX etc..) Tests of several beta testers reported speed increases for all codecs. About Multi Core disabled by default. If you know some two bits about video encoding you surely know when using multi threads with encoding can result in artifacts. This is a known problem with all video converters. That's why it is disabled by default. I have never wrote I will abondon PPC users. Support is still valid for those users and there will be bug fixes if needed. I will release 1.4 for PPC only very soon. This will also have the new GUI. Why I do not make a synchronized UB version? Well, there are a lot of problems with the latest source and compiling it to PPC. If anyone can do this .. I will regain PPC support. But as far I know this is not doable. Hopes this clears some thing.

Without unix- or terminal knowledge you can't do much without learning some basic stuff (I did that...) . Also, this is a graphical user interface to that 'ffmpeg' and created with RealBasic. Meaning: all the hard work is done by the people who make 'ffmpeg'. You found that people at http://ffmpeg.org/. Don't forget that, please.

LAMPOON After using iVideo Converter for some days now I can do a proper review. The first time you launch iVideo Converter it asks to download some video libraries. This only takes about 3 seconds so it is no hassle. I got prompted with a registration request afterwards. Not yet mister. . not yet . . . :-) With the two minutes limit I could not test full length videos but it was not needed for some quick testing. Dragged in several different movies files. And clicked on the Convert button without any changes to the settings. Converting started and after some minutes it was finished. All converted movies played with QT and VLC without a problem. Quality by default was generally good to very good. After this I changed some options like 2-pass encoding, resolutions, bitrates and more. Converting was again flawless but iVideo Converter sometimes prompted me with a message saying the selected bitrate was too low. It seems when the bitrate per pixel is lower then 0.15 it gives you this warning. Actually this is a good thing because lower values gives poor quality anyway. It is a pity it didn't ask me to change the bitrate at this point. You have to stop converting and change the bitrate and start converting again. A minor issue. At this point I registered iVideo Converter. I was already convinced :-) I have converted a lot of full length videos with Ivideo Converter and never got big issues. The X360 presets also works perfect (yes - I am a X360 fan shame on me). It gave a very good quality and no hiccups. FYI VisualHUB and Handbrake could not deliver me good X360 movie file ones. There are so many options to deal with you get lost some how. A good documentation is a must! This needs to be taken care off asap Ivideo Converter is a very decent converter lacking some documentation. Quality is by default high but you can create very high (and very low) results in no time after tweaking some options. The developer told me the next release will be Intel only. Bummer, because I am using PPC at the moment. But I do understand his point of view. A Intel optimized version will have a hugh speed increase and to be honest . . . ... PPC is game over when OSX10.6 finally hits the streets. For me it is time to go out and buy a Intel (bwaaaaak) iMac. :-/

JOHN566 I found this program when I discovered that my much loved VisualHub wouldn't create compatible files for my new Sony Walkman X-1000. Not only did iVideo Converter's PSP settings work on the X-1000 but the extremely responsive developer of this program even created a specific profile with the proper resolutions for me and other X-1000 owners the very next day.

MAULRAT This is easily the best of all the myriad of video converters that I've used for the Mac ... where the others such as Handbrake, ffmpegX, SimpleMovie, Road Movie, iSquint, and the now defunct Visual Hub came up short in various areas (namely the ability to convert mkv's) this one was able to do it for me AND at roughly 15 times the speed to boot. Where do I get 15X the speed from? Because of the three 720p 1280x528 movies I previously converted in Visual Hub took 15 hours whereas it took just an hour in iVideo Converter. Why not 5 stars (I would give it 4 1/2 if it was possible)? The audio conversion has been muddy sounding at best ... thankfully this program has the audio passthrough option. But this defeats the purpose if you want to convert the audio track. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem but I certainly have even when I've converted a movie's audio source from simple stereo (L R) to stereo (L R). The high end seems to be stripped in the conversion for some odd reason. If not for this anomaly I would easily have given this 5 stars.

LAMPOON Indeed, the default samplerate for audio is a little too low (set to 128kbps). When using multi channel audio streams it is simple not enough. Luckily you can change the samplerate very easy. I mainly use 196kbps and that does the trick very well indeed. Audio passthru is not needed when you you do this. @ Developer: please upscale the audio bitrate to at least 196kpbs as default. This is much better.

TOMMIDDLETON I like this converter. Many codecs and options - actually I never saw so many options in any converter I used. Preset for iPod and iPhone works perfect. I cannot test the other presets (PS3, X360, Wii, ...) but if they are on par with the iPod and iPhone presets it should be good. The preview functionality is awesome ! Incredible handy for cropping. Pity isn't free like Handbrake. But iVideoConverter is by far the best converter for OS X. And as a bonus it is running fine on my OS X 10.6 setup. (.. don't ask ;-)

TOMMYMAC For my blog site I need to convert many video files on daily basis. It is fair to say I used quite a lot of converter both os x and windows. ATM I did not find any converter that does all my jobs nicely. Ivideo Converter doesnt either. But for most of my converting tasks it is clearly better then any other available. I keep reading comparisons with visualhub and in some extent it is fair to compare both. But be honest, the interface of visualhub is not very user friendly. Note: The new preview feature added recently is highly usable ! Is it perfect? No ... but very close to be perfect and I am sure it will get perfect in time. It is surely a masterpiece in the works

26CAB40 There are several reasons why this is still inferior to VisualHub, an application that has completely ceased development. 1. Visualhub can detect the aspect ratio and resolution of the input video and passes this to the encoder, unless you wish to change it of course. Ivideo utterly fails to detect either and you will have to manually adjust every job. 2.output: The output using standard settings for a range of codecs is jerky and suffers from poor iframe encoding, unforgivable in 2009, barely acceptable back in 1999. 3.Channel resampling: detection and conversion varies from codec to codec, not so with VisualHub, virtually regardless of format it just silently handles multichannel audio, even if it only converts it to stereo. In summary, input codec handling is poor, encoding is poor and some aspects are simply not stable.

ANONYMOUS Thank you for your 1 star rating (not that I care but maybe you should test iVC before complaining) 1. iVC does detect everything (also resolution and aspect ratio and it use it to encode - for example for 'Keep Original' options. ) 2. The default settings for every codec are without any optimalisations. This is done deliberate to start your own settings. However, there is a simple dropdownmenu with presets( Low, Med and High). I am sure you didn't see this in your test trial. 3. iVC handles every multichannel video as it should and it works perfect. If the codec support multi channels it works like it should. However, FFMPEG doesn't support resampling. So, if your source has 5.1 audio it has to be converted to 5.1 audio. Again, I do not give a sh*t if people dislike iVC but it does bugger me if someone is writing a review after he didn't test it more then 1 minute. (I can only assume you didn't because all three issues you mentioned are invalid) BTW don't bother to answer to my reply though ... just delete iVC and use VisualHB instead. Everybody happy.

BTW I am not sure CAB40 even tested VisualHUB because it gives more errors trying to convert surround audio then any other converter on the market. Nuff said .. ..

26CAB40 I'm a registered user of VisualHub and have been for several years. I have tried your app on several occasions now, in fact, since you first posted it. I generally work with HD Matroska files and a few other various formats. Ivideo may be ok for converting youtube videos to your iPod, but not for serious encoding duties. Insults and your gaggle of fanboys aside, Ivideo does work, just not very well. It is not, and will not be a replacement for VisualHub for some time to come.

TOMMYMAC A comment of a fanboy (rotfl) @CAB40 : I really cannot believe you are giving this software a one star rating. You surely did not test this at all. "Keep Original" is the first in every menu you find. Surround movies are converted almost automatically for every codec supporting it. The quality of the converted videos are flawless and of a high standard.

SPOOKER This seems to be a pretty good / average front end to ffmpeg much like VisualHub was when it was still around. The presets are nice and the interface is almost the same, which is good. One thing though: this really needs a decent preview feature ( I'm thinking of Handbrake's ) VisualHub's preview was slow and clunky. This one seems the same. As far as I can tell this doesn't have one. It doesn't even need to be a video preview. no one wants to sit and wait for a 5 second clip to encode when all they want to do is check the cropping. This is where Handbrake's preview wins. It takes frames at set intervals and lets you resize in real time to see what the image will look like, even with filters applied. Any and all video encoding applications need something like this. Apple's Compressor does this almost perfectly. I hope this app can become my main encoding tool, but right now it seems like it picked up right where VisualHub left off. And now that Handbrake can accept sources other than DVD, it's way more easy to use and has more features than most paid apps. Like this one.

The vast series of options you get to improve convert quality is just amazing and not seen in other programs I encountered. But still there are some missing features like 2 pass coding and muxing. I have only tapped the presets and they do seem to give very good to outstanding results. But it is comfortable to know you can still do some tweaking with the advanced features. Documentation for all the advanced functionalities is a must! ! ! This needs to be added ASAP by the dev In my opinion this will surpass the popularity and above all usability of ffmpex - the former leader of the pack. Top of the bill when you are needing a excellent converter for osX.

It does not give you access to all the various codecs you may have installed in your QuickTime build, despite the fact that several free converters do. There are many other apps available for free that do the same thing this does and way more, but they've been around a long time and so are PROVEN to work well. Check out any of these: Handbrake, VisualHub (no longer supported, but easy to find on the web), x264Encoder, xvidEncoder, mp4vEncoder, MPEG Streamclip, iSquint, Prism, VeescopeHub, ViddyUp!, Video Monkey, and others.

Yes, there are other converters but for me this one is clearly the best suited for my needs. It has support for almost any codec known (at least for quicktime codecs). So my guess is you didn't test this program to the bottom. It is not because a program is new it's automatically bad compared to old stuff. That is short sighted to say the least.

Infact ... it would more fair to NOT review this software until its Final release. Yes, the final version will NOT be free. It will only cost 4,99eur. IMO this isn't much for this application. Sorry for the misguiding and I will update this in the next release. Hopes this clarifies some issues.

ANONYMOUS It's 90secs and not 90min. :-) BTW if you think 90secs isn't enough to BETA test this .. please let me know!

TICE I only can say FORMICA is right: "Keep in mind, that the progressbar will stop after 90sec video/audio have been converted." Yeah, great "freeware". I hate that too. One star for that!

ATARI69 I am always a little bit eager to try new video converters for OS X so I couldn't resist to give this a spin. Although this beta version has some features missing, that's why it's a beta I guess, it is already very well crafted and didn't crashed ones. Has a well layout and nice looking UI. I did some tests and it seems to do the job very well indeed. Apart from the 90 seconds limit for the Beta version this is highly usable for converting small vids and to get a general idea what the final version will become. If the developer adds some more pre-sets and extra advanced options it will be a major contender for other expensive and FREE converters. This is definitely a good start. Hopes the developer keeps going. And 4.99eur for the final version is indeed a bargain. A must try !
