02_visual_hub_douglas.jpgYou may remember Scott’s fairly recent rant about Apple’s encoding application, Compressor, with its numerous and frustrating error messages and glitches. In his post, Scott recommended several other alternative apps that make appropriate replacements for Compressor, including VisualHub.

Despite being a fan of MPEG Streamclip, I’ve recently been toying with other options to meet my encoding needs. Recently, Steve Douglas wrote up a VisualHub review for Ken Stone’s FCP website, praising the app’s simplicity, clever Preview window, and good sense of humor. Having found this simple review helpful and encouraging, I recommend to other folks shopping around for encoding apps to give it a read.
