Product Description:

Converting a bunch of AVI files to a DVD shouldn't require a Computer Science degree. Getting movies from your digital camera to your iPod shouldn't take hours. Wading through a sea of video formats shouldn't pull you under.

VisualHub bridges the gap between numerous complicated video formatting standards, and people that just want to get the job done - just what you would expect from the Mac.

If you're looking for something a little more flexible, VisualHub's up for that challenge too. An extensive Advanced panel lets you change all pre-set aspects of encoding...and then some.

Based on the popular, award-winning "iSquint" conversion software for iPods. If you've used iSquint, you already know how to use VisualHub. If you've never used iSquint, you won't have a lot of catching up to do anyway.

Features:
  • Fast conversion from nearly every video format to iPod, PSP, DV, DVD, AVI, MP4, WMV, MPEG and Flash.
  • Convert any file in three steps. Click, drag, click.
  • Fit up to 18 hours of video on one DVD. Play it in any standalone DVD player.
  • Xgrid support. Use the power of every Mac on your network for batch encoding.
  • QuickTime Pro or special plugins not required.
  • DivX/XviD AVIs, all forms of MPEG video, and many other formats QuickTime struggles with are supported.
  • Batch Processing of multiple files. Save in-place, or to a different folder.
  • Very comprehensive Advanced panel to modify every aspect of encoding.
  • Dynamic Preview - See results before beginning a long encode.
  • Stitch multiple files together to combine videos.
  • Highly detailed, informative Users Guide.
  • Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel Macs.

What's new in this version:

Added a workaround for a bug in iPhone/iPod touch 2.0.x software that prevents certain files from being played after syncing.

It appears that I didn't look at the software information closely to determine it's usefulness in my particular situation (see my previous comment). It says on the site under What VisualHub isn't:

"1: VisualHub is not a legendary DVD ripper. Look around the Techspansion site. There isn't a single mention of "DVD ripper" (or DVD converter, or anything similar) in any explanation/ rundown of VisualHub's features. Sure, it can convert TO a DVD pretty well, but not so much the other way around. The ability to convert the main feature of unencrypted VIDEO_TS folders was a small bonus added over a year and a half ago, much like converting an iMovie '06 project. DVD conversion is not the main purpose of VisualHub, nor will it be, nor will that functionality be improved upon in future releases. What works works, and what doesn't doesn't. If you want to convert DVDs, you're best off using a program specifically designed to convert DVDs, like HandBrake."

So, it seems I was making an unfair comparison between programs that don't quite exactly do the same thing. Maybe it would be better for the author to make that plain or to put a link to this detail right on the product page, so people would know before buying it, since most people look at the support info when they have a problem *after* purchasing the product.

My apologies to the author.

Did a comparison conversion of a TV show DVD with VisualHub, Handbrake and Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus. VXPlus just kept crashing, VisualHub produced the file but with no video. Handbrake was the only app to successfully convert the file. A little disappointing since I already paid for VisualHub. I might try it with other DVDs to see what happens.
