iVI Pro for Mac3.811

VisualHub continues to be an amazingly useful and simple conversion app, but I was looking to replace it with something that pulls metadata from the internet to streamline my video conversion and importing workflow. This app 'technically' does the job but there was one issue I could not look past when using this app, and that's the most horrible non-Mac-like user interface ever. It's just painful to use, and there are many vague options and commands that only exist by control-clicking or other non-obvious methods. Do yourself a favor and check out the free app Video Monkey (among others) before pulling out the credit card for this clunker.

The color scheme and toolbar icons of the GUI are just .. hmm .. bad/ugly. Not that important though. The worse: Did not use all my i7 cores (only 2 of 8) so it was painful slow compared to handbrake. In the end just way too expensive when you can do the same with cheaper or even free tools.

Hi, the conversion with Elgato Turbo.264 HD doesn't work properly! It's not fast as it should be!

Incredible app for converting TV series (it can convert any type of movie, but for TV series it is perfect). I have a workflow where Automatic finds every new episode, downloads the torrent file and opens it in Transmission, which downloads it to a specific TV folder where iVI Pro picks it up, converts it and imports it into iTunes. ¡Everything without user intervention! I did compare iVI Pro in terms of ease of use, convenience and encoding quality with other solutions (Miro Video Converter, Media Rage, DVDRemaster, Handbrake, etc...) and I think this is the best software for TV series that arrive every week. I hope you

I would have bought this if it cost $3

This software fills a gaping hole for iPad/iPhone/Apple TV users. There is nothing like it. If you want to use one of those Apple devices for video then this is a must have app. Why do I say that? It will convert any type of video and load it into iTunes in formats for iPad/iPhone/iPod and/or Apple TV. Before getting iVI I tried using Handbrake, VideoMonkey, etc. One problem with them -- they do an OK job of converting video files ..... and that is where they stop. iVI will download metadata for TV show episodes. It will automatically load converted files into iTunes. In short, iVI just works and saves you time and effort!!! For me, the key driver here is the iPad. If you want to use iPad to view video outside of your home -- like on plane trips, or waiting for your wife while she is shopping -- then you will want to get this app. Other tools let you stream video in your house, but they don't load into iTunes so you can take it with you. And they don't reate versions for Apple TV or iPad/iPod/iPhone. And for a medium collection, getting/checking meta data like title, episode number, etc is essential. Don't take my word for it. Download the trial version and see for yourself.
