This is a great app, after trying ffmpegx and a couple of others this is the one I stuck with. Although I continue to use ffmpegx as a backup I haven't had to resort to it for quite awhile, that and the ipod touch preset works great.

Very nice program. I use this now as my main video converter to convert misc. formats to DivX avi's. Between this and ffmpegx (now my backup), I don't come across many "problem" files anymore.

Had an avi file I'd been trying to figure out how to burn to DVD for years. Tried everything I could think of on both the mac and PC to convert it to some format that was writable to a video DVD. No luck. Until now. VisualHub not only did the conversion, it burned the whole disc for me as well. All in one step. Indispensable.

I'm trying to like this app but I'm having so many problems and NONE of my questions on the support forum get answered. It's hard to recommend with such poor support.

It is also a very good DVD ripper. Can convert to H.264 at very good quality, and picture size bigger than handbrake.

Anyone have a comparison between this and, say, Hawkeye, or something else?

I'm a bit strange though. I don't mind using a half-dozen apps to accomplish this sort of thing.

This app is seriously awesome. I can convert anything to DVD and burn..
Formats tried so far:
wmv
avi
mpg
bin/cue
iso
vob
video_TS directory

ANYTHING! It's a godsend.

It crashes a bit when you throw strange formats at it, but it works great most of the time. Bought it.
