Help
Visual Hub was one of the coolest and easiest to use utilities for encoding and transcoding video and audio files. It did not have the big iron features of products like Squeeze or Episode but it was $25 instead of $800. Unfortunately Techspansion closed it's doors a few years ago but they gave their source code to the developer community and only one company FilmRedux took the morsel. I think there is something even better that can be done. Can you help?

Can the developer community help resurrect Visual Hub (open source video encoder)?2 Replies
Yes they can. Everyone seems to love Visual Hub. Too bad, for whatever reason, Techspansion decided to close its doors. Luckily they were nice enough to put the code out there. Since there are plenty of passionate users interested in the product, it may be interesting enough to attract developers.
If you're looking for another awesome transcoder with plenty of presets and tweakablity, take a look at Handbrake. It's cross-platform, heavily developed, and the price is right (free).

Thanks adfm,
I thought Handbrake was mainly for mpg 2 encoding - looks like I better check in on them again. Another inexpensive encoder is DVkitchen and RoadMovie but the down and dirty encoding world is still an empty place with the absence of Visual Hub. http://www.dvcreators.net/dv-kitchen/ http://www.bitfield....ovie/index.html |
