iSquint and VisualHub, the popular video converter on Mac OS X have now gone open source. They also has got new names, Film Redux (VisualHub) and PunyVid (iSquint).

I think it makes the videos bigger so when you double tap to zoom, you are still watching the highest quality

This program is excellent. It easily converts .mov files into .flv files for uploading to youTube, etc.

Excellent software, highly recommended.

My only gripe is that they convert iphone/ipod touch videos inefficiently. 480×320 resolution is TOO BIG for movies. The DPI is higher for the iphone, and you’ll make a video that is too large for the iphone. You can take 144pixels as the height, and multiply that by the aspect ratio of the film and produce a video that looks just as good, and at times half the size.

This program is really cool and I must say that it was one of the first applications I have bought after my transition to the Mac.

One thing which I still don’t really get is why the video support of iTunes is still that bad. What we need with more and more platforms arising is something in iTunes which does exactly the job of all these transformation tools. In fact I want to manage exactly one video in my library but want this one on my Apple TV, my iPhone and my secondary iPod. I also like to keep the orginal one. iTunes already has a nice on-the-fly convertion of music tracks for the iPod shuffle (reducing size by loosing some quality). I want exactly this feature for videos.

I – for one – don’t find it that great. I didn’t get all the “pro” functions I was hoping for. That’s why I rather stick up with free but better MPEG Streamclip.

This is a great app. I was able to pull video off of my DVR with iRecord, and convert it with just a couple of clicks in VisualHub. Can’t wait to do more with it!

This app kicks ass. I’ve never had a problem with it and I’ve put it through a lot. My only real complaint would be that it’s conversion process is a tad slow. Other than that 5 stars all around.
