If you have a video podcast and use a Mac, this is the video conversion tool you need. VisualHub from Techspansion is a simple application that allows you to convert any video file to almost any format you could think of. Convert your video to be compatible with Apple’s iTunes, Apple TV, Apple iPhone, Apple iPod, WMV, MPEG, Flash and a handful more. This is the perfect tool for video podcasters. Having done video for the web, I know firsthand how tedious it can be to convert to all of the different formats. I’ve been digging on VisualHub lately and it’s a breeze to use. Considering that I’m a workflow junkie, I’m also enjoying the batch processing in VisualHub. With their support of Applescript, this could become a powerful tool in the chain that makes up my workflow.

After my first time using VisualHub I was still on the trial (2-minute limit on conversions) and wanted to purchase it. I was sure this application would cost in the $60-80 range. It was a pleasant surprise to see that it’s a mere $23.32. What a steal. I have a bunch of video work coming up and VisualHub will be my main conversion tool.
