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:

  • Conversion directly from VIDEO_TS folders! - VisualHub will now convert the main title from an unencrypted DVD folder or disc!
  • New MPEG output formats!
    - TiVoGoBack - Use TiVoDesktop for Mac to put videos on your TiVo. See the included ReadMe for more information.
    - SVCD
    - CVD
    - Generic Transport Stream
    - HDTV 720p
    - HDTV 1080i
  • AutoCrop overhauled. Global autocrop settings, or video-by-video.
  • Conversions can now be paused and resumed in mid-operation.
  • If a PSP memory stick is chosen as the destination, the necessary video directories are now created automatically.
  • Common Cheat Codes now selectable within the Advanced panel.
  • Non-interactive Flash 6 (and under) animation files can now be converted when QuickTime Decoding is forced.
  • Limited support for converting EyeTV and iMovie project files. No need to dig through bundles.
  • New option to choose custom title(s) for PSP videos.
  • Name of DVD volume and .iso image now customizable.
  • DVD chapter markers can now be set at 5, 10, and 15-minute intervals.
  • Volume slider upped to 300%
  • Anamorphic video content now gets its aspect corrected when converted to 1:1-pixel formats.
  • New option to "Open the Destination Folder" when conversion completes.
  • The first pass of a two-pass encode will no longer completely freeze the UI.

VisualHub CommentaryVisualhub development continues - Version: 1.34, 11/13/2009 11:12AM PST

The developer released the source code on retirement -> FilmRedux
Google for example "VisualHub Lives: Squeezing Movies Down To Size"
Sadly it does not appear to work for me, and the error msg is unreadable.

Unfortunately Techspansion closed its doors this week and will not continue development of VisualHub. The product is no longer available for download from the TechSpansion website, but , but can be found at various archives around the net if you do a web search.

I wish the programmer of this fantastic software the best for the future. Every day he makes my life just a bit easier with this great application's ease in converting files that would otherwise be very tedious.

Out of about 15 files, this software failed to process any of them. It either errored out with various error messages or, on the few occasions that it did process the file, the audio was out of sync. This was mostly with h264 .ts files and h264 .mkv files. For me, a waste of money.
