VisualHub, iSquints big brother is excellent, although not free ($23). I use it for pretty much all my video encoding, no matter what format.

I currently use FFMPEG as it does alot, iv e wanted to see what visualhub though but just not got around to it yet..
What ive found is that with parallels encoding is soo much faster like to encode a film Using nero recode takes 20 mins...

Ok guys I've have some spare cash and I wanna finally join all this mac fun .
But I've just bought a 40" Bravia and I would really like to use that as the screen. So that gives me two options. Mac Mini or AppleTV
What I want to know in short is the AppleTV worth the £200 or is it just really a gimick?
The Mini is £200 is it worth the extra?

Well, first of all the AppleTV isn't a Mac...you can't run Mac apps on it or Mac OS X. It's a media 'hub' for playing audio & video streamed from iTunes on other Macs/PCs.
So, if you want some Mac fun the Mac mini is your best bet, plus you can plug that into your TV and navigate your media with Front Row or a third-party app, and the supplied remote control.
The Mac mini was last updated on September 06, 2006 - so, based on the frequency of previous updates, it's due for a revamp fairly soon. I'd suggest holding off until the next update.

Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume Mac OSX needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

To connect 2 Macs together you just run an Ethernet cable between the two, directly or via a Router. Or you can even use a Firewire cable and have ethernet over firewire.
Safari crashes can be caused by old or incompatible plugins. Check for SIMBL plugins in your Application Support folder or the Library/Safari folder (both the main on and your users one). AcidSearch for instance, may have got corrupted.
Or it could be another plugin which are stored in Library/Internet Plug-Ins
