Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

Quite frankly, yes it has a nice interface but the glue tying it to it's open source brain needs some serious work still. I encountered several applescript errors, and after I decided to quit the program while it was encoding, it left ffmpeg merrily running as a faceless task still encoding in the background after it quit.

The program shows potential, but it's still rather buggy. I look forward to trying it again in the future when it hits a more stable version number.

works..but buggy - Sune

Works excellently for batch conversion with some limitations:

- Cancel button doesn't do anything when the job is started. It keeps on running through all steps
- Job completed message not valid when enabling H.264 check-box. At least the result never comes out of the "/private/tmp" folder.
- Experienced that files were forgotten in batch conversion (2 out of 10 were missing after "Job completed").
- It doesn't do folder scan. I've got my camera movies in a zillion different folders, and would like just to drop the mother folder on the converter. Alas, no result

And finally, a request:

- It would be wonderful if I could send my movies from iPhoto (where they reside after camera import) directly to batch conversion and then to iTunes

And a question:

If "add to iTunes" is enabled, and iTunes is set to organise ones material, it would be handy if the converted material was moved to the iTunes folder instead of copied...somehow...can I set this in iTunes, or how to do this?

Otherwise - as it is free, absolutely only thumbs up from Singapore!
