“Techspansion, creator of the media conversion applications iSquint, VisualHub and AudialHub has closed down,” MacNN reports.
“The developer, Tyler Loch has updated the company’s website which notes that the decision to close down was a personal one but promises to keep the support forum and email available for a while longer to take care of any remaining issues,” MacNN reports.
“Loch is considering releasing the source code for the application so that other developers may pick up the applications and keep them going,” MacNN reports.

Now the only question is…
…how long will it take before some idiot posts a politics-related message in response to this news…
That just Bites. I bought a copy of Visual Hub, One on the best video transcoder programs on the market today.
Tyler we’ll miss you in the market. If you make it open source let me know and I’ll do my best to build a developer community around it.
Lower the Apple Flags to half mast in honor of the death of Visual Hub, iSquint and AudialHub.
Good Luck and Best wishes to you Tyler.
I bought Visual Hub too, it’s the best, and fills a great void.
Good luck Tyler!!
Gah!…. VisualHub is one of the few programs I use daily. Glad I have a copy.
Cheers for a brilliant App Tyler. I bought VisualHub a while ago, and it’s always my 1st choice to transcode AVI to H.264.
Damn, I use Visual Hub quite frequently. ……
It’s bush’s fault I tell you!
No! it’s Nancy Pelosi’s doings!!!!!
there.. happy?
The real sad fact is I just took the site gender poll for this site. 94% males….
dang… I gotta get a life.

Don’t panic, VH is not going to stop working.
It’s good software, someone will pick it up and keep it going.
Audiahub, Visualhub and iSquint are great little programs–very well done GUI applescripting (I think) wrapped around open source conversion software that is as powerful as it is non-user friendly.
iSquint was free–I bought both of the others.
I’d really like to see them open sourced.
I bought Visual Hub too

Hey guys, I just checked and the program didn’t stop working just because they have.
Wow – I just bought them both a few weeks ago.
Good stuff.
To everyone – get them while you can – if you can.
@Quad Core: But what it means is that in the future as OS X evolves, this app will likely break. Or, the landscape will change in video conversion and the app will need to be updated to stay relevant.
With Quicktime X on the horizon along with 10.6, some codecs will change, undoubtedly. I also bought VisualHub, and it is a great tool for its intended purpose. I hope new developers pick it up and maintain its usefulness in years to come!
