     Does anybody have a work around for VHub error? I love this app but I keep getting an error —- Can’t get text item 1 of “”. (-1728)
     What does this mean?

     I think you need to use other Visual Hub alternative. Try Handbrake.

       I used this link and the registration info you gave and it still only converts about 5 seconds of video. Any advice?

         I would suggest that you use other software, try handbreak.

   Hi –

   The Download link you provided is not working – leads to a “No file here” page.

   If this is just no longer available, does anyone have a suggestion for a video_ts file converter for Mac Leopard 10.5? I have a PowerPC G5 so most of the converters I am finding won’t work because I don’t have an Intel processor.

   For the record, I am just trying to convert a video_ts file to .mov.

   Thanks!

   In the Advanced Settings box I can change a movie’s aspect ratio any way I want to, using the Size boxes, and this change will show in the Preview box–but I can’t get this change to apply to the file VH produces. The new movie has the same aspect ratio as the original. What am I missing?

   Thanks Robert. I got to install the new Techspansion folder (temporarily copying the original to my desktop). I’ve never worked with patches, much less how to install this one, I don’t even know if I need it….but I will test the binary changes tonight and get back to you.

   Not sure if my binary would work for you but I have seen something like this during my DVD to MP4 encodes. It seems VisualHub sometimes loses track of the vh131ffmpeg process. Usually rebooting fixes this problem for awhile.

   You could try my binary. It’s simple to install. When you extract the contents, you will get a Techspansion folder. Drop this into the /Library/Application Support folder (remember to make a copy of the old Techspansion folder first).

   I did help someone else who had a 12 core Mac. He had a problem of burning an XVID file to DVD. VisualHub would stop and not burn the file. Turns out that VisualHub was passing the wrong number of threads (too many threads) to ffmpeg. Try putting “-threads 0″ in the Extra flags box under the advanced setting window. This will let ffmpeg detect the correct number.

   Someone…anyone…? Would Robert’s method work – upgrading the ffmpeg binary to the latest release? I’m not sure how to go about that so if anyone would please chime in, it would be GREATLY appreciated..

   Thanks

    I’ve been using Visualhub for some years now and am IN LOVE with it…it’s the best sw I’ve used to burn movies on DVD for later viewing.
    Unfortunately it’s not been responding the way I’d expect: You know that 1 of 4 steps it takes before finally burning the DVD? That first step processes through up until there’s about a few minutes left, and it stays there…waiting…at the progress bar…chillin…then gives me that, “Looks like I lied. It will be longer…” blah blah blah..
    It was working fine up until last week. No changes have been made and I tried to uninstall/reinstall, including re-entering the SN but nothing. It continues to do the same.
    Anyone have any idea what might be the cause of this mishap? I’m starting to feel the pained loss of a great software…

    I have been using VisualHub for the last 2 years. Last year I decided to see if I could upgrade the ffmpeg binary to the latest release. I have posted my update over at the sourceforge TranscoderRedux project page under the Open Discussions forum.

    To those who need help with multiple episodes you will need to rip the episodes individually using MakeMKV (PC/MAC), DVDFab HD Decrypter (PC) or AnyDVD (PC). VisualHub will only read the longest title on a DVD.

    I have disks that each have several episodes of a tv show on them. When I do the conversion it only converts the first episode. Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    I used VH to attempt formatting some avi files into mpeg files for burning to DVD. I clearly selected to have them formatted as PAL but when I opened the formatted files in Toast 10 and tried to burn a message alert informed me that my files were still in NSTC format. How is this possible?

    Hey Matt,

    You said you reinstalled VH on your Snow Leopard and everything works. Do you burn DVDs using VH also? If yes, do you get any Apple Script error? I’ll try to reinstall mine again, but I seem to get this weird script error everytime I burn a DVD.

    I have Snow Leopard, and have been able to convert files. However, I always get an error when I try to burn an avi to DVD. This never happened when I had Tiger. Anyone else experiencing errors when trying to burn to DVD? Anyhow has a solution??? I find that the quality of VH is much better than burning with other programs.

    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.

    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?

      One you have dragged the movie to visual hub, click advanced change the size depending on your videos size put either
      480×272
      720×480
      1024×576
      1280×720
      1600×900
      1920×1080
