M85  I've been using this program for over 5 years and love it. Flawless program and flawless updating process... if you bother to pay attention to their instructions.

M85  I take that all back about the speed - turns out MpegStreamclip was making a continuous clip of everything in my cue. Otherwise the time would have been equal for the encode.

M85  Can't believe how fast this program is. Had to convert some mov files to mp4 and was using MpegStreamclip which was taking forever. Thought I'd try and do a file at the same time in Handbrake (2-pass, turbo first pass). A 400mb file finished in Handbrake in under half an hour while MpegStreamclip is in it's third hour! Quality is on a par

i love MpegStreamclip for certain things, but Handbrake really rocks for speed.

J.W.  I had the same problem, until I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in. Then it remembered that "Sync notes" was checked.

I don't really trust this feature, though. If you edit a note on both the Mac and the iPhone, it just overwrites the phone's version when you sync. It doesn't alert you that there's a conflict.

M85  I love this program. Even for the simplest things it's great - it encodes much faster than iSquint and at a higher rez. For the deeper tweaks and complex exports it's, well... deep.

M85  FCE can only import SOME avchd. For instance, I've been trying since last fall to get it to import AVCHD from my brand spanking new Panasonic HDC SD100. It can't. Period. Final Cut Pro 6.05 can and iMovie '08 can (though I'm having audio sync problems with the iMovie and it converts 24p to 29.97 when it imports).

Anyway, I hope Apple updates FCE soon, but until then Voltaic is your best bet. MPEG Streamclip won't import mts files either, by the way.

M85  Try updating to the 2.0 Alpha. I've been using it for almost a month and it's very stable and more site-compatible. Only caveat is to save your 1.x prefs and bookmarks somewhere separate because they'll be overwritten and you can't go back. Also update to the latest flip4mac for better handling of flash.

M85  Actually, this is a pretty buggy release. Scroll bars and hyperlinks aren't working sometimes. Also when I changed tabs a video (from Apple's site, no less) decided to come along for the ride and was playing over the new window I'd tabbed too.

MACMANX  >>how do you expect the developers to know about them?

That depends. I had no problems with v1.5.2 (the build mentioned in this thread). The issue could have been site-specific, related to one or more sites that the developers never visit, or it could have been related to a plugin. Hyperlink and scroll bar malfunctions are usually typical of Flash problems or poorly coded javascript.

Unfortunately, without a properly reported bug and detailed troubleshooting discussion with the developer community, we'll never really know the cause of M85's issue.

That's why it's always best to support your favorite applications by reporting bugs to the developers and participating in troubleshooting.

But, this is a beta and I much prefer it to any alternative so I'll use it and wait for the final.
