VisualHub 1.31 adds Surround Sound for "Take 2"

Is Visual Hub in competition (Ie. MS Word with WordPerfect, etc) with programs like DivX, Voltaic, MPlayer, VLC, Video Converter, MPEG Streamclip, SheerVideo HD or do some of these programs work hand & hand? If so, which ones are the best ones. I'm a early '90's film school grad trying to make the digital leap. Thank you for your time and good luck in all of your projects.

I tried the 5.1 software on an MKV file and it created a file that would not play audio on either my iMac or on the aTV. I went back to the standard aTV settings, not the 5.1, and it worked as flawlessly as VH had been working before. So the update still works but I can't see any benefit from installing it. Has anyone else converted movies using the 5.1 settings?

Woo hoo! 5.1 has been a long time coming.

Netflix->Mac the Ripper->VisualHub->Apple TV

+1 for VisualHub love. Fast, fun and an amazing capacity for taking whatever format I throw at it and making it work.

How do you get your receiver to show the 5.1? is it because you don't preset audio? I would like to be able to see that. Have an Onkyo SR605

Quite "I rented Transformers last night. 5.1 is 5.1. My receiver gleefully lit up with Dolby Digital 3/2.1.

Its interesting how Apple is doing this. They're putting two Audio Tracks into a .mp4 (one of which, AC3) is not kosher according to the standard. The other one is stereo AAC. "Quote

Count me in with the VisualHub fan group. It's just so easy to use.

I purchased it to convert vids to wmv so I could play them on my Xbox 360. Since that time it's helped me get video converted so I could place it into PowerPoints.

wonder if the 5.1 will work on the Xbox 360? I use connect360 to share all my videos to the 360 and it works great. All of the videos I had previously ripped in AppleTV work perfect on the 360, I can't wait to try it with AC3 5.1

I love VisualHub. It's the swiss army knife of video convertors. And geez, it's less than $25 (costs less than going out for a movie and a couple of cocktails!) with an active support forum and a developer that cares. Does a terrific job of converting video_ts folders to ipod/apple tv/tivo- you name it.

Why don't they work as quickly on the most requested feature for years now - subtitle support? If they did I might actually feel like I didn't lose my money when I bought this thing.

Tried to get the update, but the installer failed to download ffmpeg131installer.dmg correctly either automatically or manually. Anyone have a link to the file?
