PEnGUIn Encoder MP4
Dec 5 2008

CHRIS FAM  The only Mac app that can convert RM and RMVB format. Too bad it can't convert to AVI with DivX which I can watch on consumer DVD player with DivX certified. I did notice before the MP4 is created, Penguin actually convert the video to AVI (DivX 4) but later it merge with the audio resulting MP4.

Hope the developer can make it on next release. Also increase the conversion speed and reduced CPU usage. Like VisualHub does. Many thanks! :D

ALASTAIR (CORIOLIS SYSTEMS)  This isn't a support forum, so your questions are best directed to us by e-mail, but no you cannot merge partitions at present. It's quite a commonly requested feature, but it's a non-trivial problem to implement for various reasons so I don't think you can expect this any time soon.

MACUPDATE ADMIN  Then you should contact the developer via the developer's site:

http://jares.altervista.org/Link.html

The developer can't accommodate requests he does not know about. And he may well not be able to accommodate your request, he may be employing aspects of 10.5 that do not exist in 10.4.

SULEIMAN KHAN  This comment is a general comment, not one specifically targeting this software, which I am sure is fantastic, but I was under the impression that the Wii only provides limited resolution viewing on your TV.

If that is the case, could someone who uses this software please report back what the TV viewing quality is of photos and movies?

Wii Transfer
Jan 23 2009

STRONGMANTIM  The quality of the videos is not the best. The application converts the your to a Flash video, which is playable in the Opera-based browser on the Wii. The only video I have converted is a video slideshow, so I can't tell exactly how good the conversion quality is. If I had to guess, I would say that it is about 15 frames per second. There are multiple levels of quality you can convert videos using. I believe I used the best setting.

I could not get the video conversion to work when sending the video to a SD card.

I will use the music player the most often. It finds your iTunes library and streams it to the Wii browser with what I am assuming is Flash. If iTunes is open on the Mac, it will display the album art. I was really really impressed with the music feature.

I did not use the photo part of the application yet, but look forward to seeing what it can do.

JOSH LINDQUIST  Anytime you're ripping and converting the video at the same time it's going to crawl and tax your optical hardware pretty bad. I would recommend using MacTheRipper (v3 in the wild is the best for speed and stability) and then using HandBrake or VisualHub on the output that MacTheRipper gives. On my MacBook Pro it takes 10-15 minutes to rip a DVD and then HandBrake or VisualHub can compress much smoother with the files off your drive than off the DVD, not to mention you can load up a que then with a load of DVDs.

TRONDAH  Hm, rip from DVD is already a feature! And like the guy above says, better to make an image of the DVD first, then compress. You don't need mactheripper either, disk utility will do the job fine.

BRUCE_Y  It is accurate (AFAIK-asfarasiknow) that you need to make a donation to support the guy in his development efforts to get the most current version.

Which is what & why I did so a while back. Keep the independent dev-tech community alive and thriving.

VERYCARLA  MTR 3 can be had from certain places. I don't think it was meant to be shared, but once the genie's out of the bottle...

Anyway, if you want to rip and convert directly from DVD, may I suggest you check out Handbrake (just search here...you'll find it). It does just that. Visual Hub is meant more as a tool to work with existing video files, from VOBs to MP4s and (almost) everything in between.
