That said, I haven't tried it yet, but will try it later today.
Anyway, with LGPL (I assume the point of your comment is educational, and you don't really need the source code for FFmpeg SVN-r17142), author can just provide instructions for downloading the source code for this revision from FFmpeg SVN, as written here: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AnonFTPAndSendSourc...
Also, do you really need the 'step 1 of 2' thing? Can't you just leave that out, and adjust the progress bar accordingly? Using multiple steps is confusing, as you have no idea how far the conversion really is.
Your site needs a favicon
I don't understand how to get videos off the web.
From your web page, it's not clear to me what your product does. Convert & transfer movies from your computer and the web. could be simplified to something like "Get your movies anywhere."
When I open the app, nothing happens. It should open the "Open" dialog by default, I think.
The site looks great, and the app is quite clean. Nice work!
First, great app. Very useful.
But, since most of these videos are already H.264 mpeg-4's, why the need for the conversion step, instead of simply wrapping it up in a quicktime container (if you even need to do that)? Conversion is painfully slow.
The popup dialogs are annoying.
Is there a bookmarklet? That would be awesome.
Yes, there is a bookmarklet and we'll be adding it to the website soon (or straight into the app). If you want it now, add this to your bookmark bar:
javascript:document.location.href='evom://'+escape(document.location.href)
Also, some kind of bookmarklet would be nice. Maybe you can set your own system url handler which would make it easy to catch the links.
The popups are royally screwed up. There's no way to get rid of them (close). Examples are the beta notice, and the "Register..." popup.

And we'll look into getting those popups fixed.
A short example: my uncle's been using a mac for 5 years and still has absolutely no idea how to install programs on mac because of this convoluted process. DMGs need to die.
Thanks for your feedback though!
Also, you could have taken 30 seconds in the past 5 years to explain to your uncle how to install Mac apps. Instead of, you know, ranting about how its convoluted the entire time. All you have to do is say "Double click it and drag and drop the file to /Applications." — Though thats irrelevant now, since Safari now handles dmg's with a .app the same as if it would when extracting a zip.
I'd love it if it did. One big reason to get a Flip over other camcorders is the ease of putting the vids online.
In FF3, highlighting and dragging the URL doesn't work. I have to drag the favicon.
It worked really well on a couple of test porn videos. =)
