The day Visualhub died, I was deeply saddened. Â A great indie developer was pulling the plug on an excellent product. Â I’ve spent a lot of time scouring the internet for an application that could replace it. Â Nothing really filled the shoes of Visualhub. Â It was one of those things that your mother talked to you about as a kid–it’s hard to fill a great application’s shoes, and you never know what you’ve got until it’s gone (two for one deal on cliche). Â We talked yesterday about ripping videos on our podcast and today I found an interesting alternative that boasts some pretty bold claims. Â It’s called ‘Road Movie‘, and it acts a lot like Visualhub. Â You drag video into it, and you convert away. Â You can get it from the bitfield groups site.
It has an amazing feature set, and looks like it could be a real replacement for Visualhub, and it has a pretty sleek interface.
