VisualHub {R.I.P.}

As I conveyed in this post, the woes of trying to encode and burn DVDs are many.

Ben, your suggestion, as appreciated as it was, was sadly only applicable to those vast majority of people running Windows instead of Mac OSX.

Then I discovered VisualHub.

Oh. My. Goodness.

What a wonderful piece of software. 

First, it encoded and burned three hours of video into a standard DVD-video. In one hour.
Second, it encoded and burned OVER SIX HOURS of DVD-video in what it called "low" quality but the quality is actually better than I've ever seen Toast burn, and completely watchable.

And sadly, VisualHub is no longer offered. I am lucky lucky lucky to have grabbed a copy of it while I could. I guess the lesson here is, like all good things, it too must come to an end.
Now excuse me, I have some Damages to watch...

I cannot wait until summer when I can sit down and watch season 2 of Damages. Season 1 caused me to waste too many hours in November...

I also just obtained/burned some Dexter. So we can start on that as soon as we finish season 1 of Damages.

I ain't been holdin' out on you man! Just give me some time!
