I have a Casio Exilim EX-750 camera that shoots really nice MPEG-4 video at 640X480 resolution/30 fps. The only problem is that it is a proprietary microsoft MPEG-4 format (so much for standards) that I cannot edit on my mac. I can open and play it with VLC player, but cannot import it into iMovie or FCP to edit any of it. All of that has now changed with this app. A simple conversion to MP4 and all my stuff is now editable. I am SO FREAKIN HAPPY with this , I couldn'y buy a license fast enough. I tested a 1:30 min clip I shot of my son at the zoo last weekend and output it to every available format. The only bug I found was that as a .wmv file, I had picture but no sound and as a mpeg2 file, I had sound but no picture. As any flavor of MPEG-4 it looks great. The Flash video and iPod video video was surprisinly good and really did a great job reducing file size. Outputting to MP4 is the way to go on the mac.

Not every format VisualHub outputs is QuickTime-compatible. DVD and MPEG-2 files, for example, aren't QuickTime-kosher.

Well, I can think of one thing that'll make me hold onto Cleaner. AFAIK, it has the only inverse telecine solution for Macs. It's slow, but at least it works.

I've been using this program for a few days now and I must say that it's awesome. I had a pretty nice system for converting my movies from one format to another using freeware, but none of the programs ever worked as well as Visual Hub. For $24 you can't go wrong. My only complaint so far is on the quality slider, I haven't been able to get it to convert any movies to the highest quality (mind you, the standard setting still looks incredibly sharp, and I can't tell much difference between the standard and high outputs so it's really not that big of a deal).
