Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

So what's with this latest version then?

"Drop video URL here" What the hell does that mean? This newest version is, for me, totally unusable. Can't understand it. No explanatory note, no "Help" content. (Don't worry, you won't be confused. There is not even a "help" menu item! First time I've ever seen _that_.

author is working hard to turn this around... works for me - PowerTama

I myself thought: HOW DOES THIS SOFTWARE WORK? Then I realized that at the BEGINNING of the URL there is a little icon....

DRAG THE LITTLE ICON AT THE BEGINNING OF THE URL into the VideoBox window (where it says to drag the URL) and voilá! Has worked great for me... I wanted to dislike Videobox b/c it was so different from FLVR, but after using it extensively last night I found it's a really good tool.

  • Bottom line is that it works for me now, and I hope that it will start working for others, b/c no one wants a software headache. (We could return to the other platform for an infinite supply of headaches... )
