Visual Hub: Free Mac Video Converter
The best Video Converter for Mac was Visual Hub, it is still the best however Techspansion the guys behind the open source application discontinues the application, it’s still usable and will work on Snow Leopard but the caveat is the application may not run future Mac OS and may not support updated video formats.
You cannot download it from the developers site but I found a download link (see below). I’m still using the app and it still works fine, if you have it on you mac and you want to use the application on another mac you can do this by following simple instructions Techspansion Provided on their site.

- All QuickTime Codecs
- MPEG-1
- MPEG-2
- MPEG-4 (DivX, XviD, etc)

i’m getting a “AppleScript Error / Can’t get text item 1 of “”.(-1728)” error when using Visual Hub(1.34) on a 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 iMac.
Can anyone please help me?
Awsome, it works perfectly!
Thx for help
does anyone else notice additional contrast with the file conversions? i’m trying to make an exact duplicate, which works, however, it always adds contrast. any suggestions?
While we’re on the topic of VHub – is there any way to set the specific output codec? Say I chose DV – but I want AVID DV not DVCPRO/DV? Anyone?
What format should I save my movie so I can view it on an iPad? Thank you.
plz help me only for this time
Thanks “cracker” for the registration info!! Worked perfectly.
Long live Visual Hub!
Thanks for keeping this shared.
It’s people like you that keep the internet a nice place.
thanks for the info.. but do u all have any idea how can i convert RMVB to MP4 or iphone format ?? i am using macbook currently.. do u guys have other software for it… i need it for free…
Thanks a lot
I agree, I tried using FilmRedux which is supposed to be the successor to VisualHub, but it’s total crap. All I get every time I install it are error messages.
I reinstalled my copy of VisualHub on Snow Leopard and it still runs like a charm. I wish the guys at Techspansion would resume development, this really was the best video conversion app around.
