When I switched to my Mac nearly 2 years ago, one of the pieces of software I bought was VisualHub from Techspansion. For the princely sum of $23.00 you got a very simple, but very powerful video conversion utility which provided a utility to convert basically any video format to any other format.

Sadly, whilst revisiting the site to pass the details on to my brother, I’ve found that it has decided to shut its doors for ‘personal reasons’.

It’s a pity, and I thought that the author might have sold it off or perhaps even open sourced it, but it looks like instead its just going to disappear - which is a terrible pity given the software’s utility and the lack of other options.

Oh well, hopefully he’ll have a change of mind, or someone else will step in and make things better, in the meantime, I suspect the software will find a robust life in the file sharing world.
