I’m happy to announce that Tubular 1.0 Beta 4 is available. There are a number of internal changes to fix some scattered bugs and improve performance, as well as a number of bug fixes. You can download the newest version by clicking the Download button above, or by checking for updates from within Tubular. The most noteworthy fixes:
- Tubular now has a Leopard-compatible 512×512 icon designed by Tom Stoelwinder.
- When a video is finished converting, the progress bar will fill and stop animating, instead of staying as indeterminate.
- The counter in the source table will now decrease when videos finish converting.
- Stopping or deleting a video conversion will remove the progress bar and cancel button properly
- Minor speed enhancements in video and category information loading.
- Memory leak fixes in the video data system.
- Under certain conditions, the cache would not empty properly; it should work correctly now
This will most likely be the final beta release. The 1.0 release is right around the corner, as I finish the help documentation and get the new web site, also designed by Tom Stoelwinder, in order. The goal is to have the final release before this year’s WWDC, which begins June 9th. I will be posting a preview of the new site very soon.

at 10:46 pm on May 28, 2008,looks like this program is finally working. i remember eagerly awaiting the promised december 2006 release, but it’s better late than never. still, i’ll never use this app as long as i have to wait for the video to load before i watch it.

at 9:09 am on May 29, 2008,I’m working on a blog post which will elucidate what I’ve been working on with respect to streaming. Long story short: I’m trying a few techniques to get streaming working, and have made some good progress, but it will not be ready in time for the 1.0 release. However, it’s one of my biggest priorities.
