Hello everyone. I thought I'd post about my experiences with FilmRedux.
As some background, I'm running a fresh install of OSX 10.5. FilmRedux wouldn't work for me initially, because I didn't have Growl installed. It threw some sort of AppleScript error about growl.applescript not having enough parameters or something. I forgot to save the exact text, I'm sorry. Then, it died, citing an error of another sort...turns out I didn't have libfaac. I grabbed the source from http://www.audiocoding.com/downloads.html , compiled it, and FilmRedux now converts properly.
It seems that this project has kind of died. I plan on working on it... has anyone done anything with it at all so far? Most of the forums haven't had posts in a while...

I'm pretty sure that the only thing that has happened is that the old developer of the applications, under the old names, just dumped them here, and now nothing else has happened. For me running the Applications on my PowerPC Mac isn't working... So I would just go ahead and debug the Applications and try to get them back up and working... ...Cali Lewis from GeekBrief.tv love these applications... ...

He actually did a bunch of stuff to it, too. Some of the interface has changed, things are broken all over the place...I sort of wish he had just done that, it'd be a bit easier.

Unfortunately it has died a kind of death, when I received the source from Tyler I had the full intention of being able to work on it until I saw this years workload at university (Comp Sci really isn't a doss subject...) If your serious about working on it I'd be more than happy to give you developer access to the SVN, just let me know.

I hear you. This will be my last semester of CS, myself.
I would like to work on it, and I have done a little bit already, so developer access would be cool. However, I honestly prefer git/GitHub to subversion/SourceForge...but I haven't used git on a Mac yet. Honestly, if I was to take over the project, I'd rather have it hosted with the tools I prefer. Would that upset anyone in what little of the community we have left? I don't want to steal anything from anyone, as I'll be pretty busy too, and can't really guarantee that I'll even make anything awesome out of it. In addition, this'll be a pretty big project. I may end up doing the same thing as you. But in the foreseeable future, I'll at least have the opportunity to fix some of the most immediate bugs.
So, thoughts on that?

Well its here because me and Tyler decided that sourceforge was the place that made the most sense for it - somewhere with an established history of open-source projects. If you want to place it on Github please be my guest the code is all open sourced and your free to branch/rehost it if you want. If you do rehost it I'd be very interested to see what your doing with it.
The code that you see here is actually the code for Visualhub 2 - well at least it was before Techspansion shut its doors hence why it is currently so broken as its really a pre-alpha

I'd love to but its not like I'm in any position to demand anything, if Tyler wants to send it to me then I'll happily build it and have it for download here with the source but if that doesn't happen then I can't.
Honestly everything for Visualhub is already mostly within your grasp - its just a case of reaching out and fixing what's broken, all the settings for the various formats are in the log files from Visualhub and most of the glue is in the code base already - its just getting it all to stick...

Hello I figured out that their is a problem with downloading the code I figured out that the tar file is broken. That is the reason why people are saying "compiles, but doesn't work"

Any chance you can grab the latest 1.x source off of him, so we then have at least something working?
