HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  I don't particularly favour Things or OmniFocus, but that was a terrible comment. Obviously Things, while different from OmniFocus, is not garbage.  
(Version 1.2.2)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  I agree with the reply above. Video Monkey hasn't failed on many encodes for me either. The interface is not bad at all, despite having a few obvious, easily remedied errors (for instance the "Overall progresss" spelling error, still apparent in 0.3). I like the simple yet, flexible encoding options, for example, selecting iPod touch then tailoring it for TV output at high quality with a 2 pass encode. It makes it very easy to achieve your desired outcome. Other encoders often often too few choices, or are so configurable as to be overwhelming. I think Video Monkey shows quite a bit of promise.  
(Version 0.3)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  Hm. I note they may not see fit to answer customer emails, but can manage to advertise their software in the review section of competing applications.

(Version 3.1)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  Anyone else getting very high Virtual Memory use with this (~3GB here)?  
(Version 1.3.3)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  Yes, so you said last time. 'Egomaniacal'? Seriously? What's your evidence for that, and, for that matter, the many free/shareware alternatives 'galore'? AFAIK, the only serious competitors are Things and Omnifocus.

I've been beta testing this app, and while it has a few drawbacks, it _is_ in beta, and shows a lot of promise. Your criticisms seem really unfounded to me, and I'm puzzled as to why you felt the need to post basically the same review twice.  
(Version 0.9.3.3b)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  I can't think of any free competitors that are near the quality of these paid apps. Furthermore, The Hit List is priced between Things and OmniFocus, so the cost is hardly "thoroughly obscene". Try and maintain a sense of proportion.  
(Version 0.9.3)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  Hm. A paid upgrade. This app had a well documented memory leak back in version 2 that caused many people to not be able to use it. No one who emailed support could get a reply. Then there was the issue with serial numbers. Now the app reappears, and it's a paid upgrade? Version 2 sounded great back when it worked, but a lot of goodwill has been lost for me.   
(Version 3.0.0.255)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  If have little to say other than that this has become an essential and trusted piece of software which i use regularly to write essays and assignments. Each update brings a significant number if fixes and new features, and, as mentioned, the forums and lively and informative. Highly recommended.  
(Version 1.12b1)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  I'm not sure what has caused it, but i can no longer bring the iWow window up, trying to do so causes iTunes to lock. This then triggers the documented "genredetection" bug, and additionally each time creates a blank "untitled playlist" in iTunes. Pretty darned annoying, overall.  
(Version 2.0.2.255)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  On a few occasions, if I edit the metadata in iTunes of a file previously edited in MetaX, it renders it unplayable.  
(Version 2.2.8)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  I just installed this as I'm starting school next week. Same thing as everyone else, though in my case it happened quite soon after trying to publish via FTP. I have no idea if this is just coincidence. I hope this gets resolved soon, looks like a great app.  
(Version 2.1)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  New version seemed to fix my problem, but I wanted to say that the developer got in touch instantly, and has a great attitude.  
(Version 2.2.6)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  As of the latest version (2.2.4), the app isn't working for me: search does nothing, the iTunes plugin likewise (it does launch the app, but without any auto-fill or, again, search). I've got to really value this app, I hope any issues are resolved soon.  
(Version 2.2.4)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  Latest version crashes on startup for me, running 10.4.8.   
(Version 1.0b51)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  Gives me empty folders on using it with .sit files.  
(Version 1.1)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  I'm unable to register this after installing on my new MacBook (I bought it months ago), and the developer (unsurpisingly, it would seem) isn't replying to emails, and the iChat link on his blog is never online. It's a nice app, but I'm sorely unimpressed by the general attitude.  
(Version 2.6.2)

HAUNTEDTAPEDECK  A simple but effective little addition to iChat, this and Chax address most of the shortcomings of Apple's chat app. I've never had any problems whatsoever with iChat Extender.
