VisualHub Developer Techspansion shuts Down

Techspansion produced VisualHub, an application that lets you convert video files between many different formats; AudialHub, a similar program for audio files; and iSquint, an application that converts video into iPod-friendly formats.

Mac software company Techspansion has decided to discontinue development of its applications and close its doors. The news was posted this morning on the front page of the company’s site, where company founder, Tyler Loch, said that he would be shutting down the company for “personal reasons.”

"I've decided (after much soul-searching) to close Techspansion, and take care of the things (and people) in my life that I've been neglecting, along with my physical, mental and emotional health," Loch told Macworld in an e-mail.

Techspansion is best known for creating software for media conversion.

A sad loss

Hi,

I bought VisualHub after an interview Shawn did with Tyler. We bought copies for the office and everyone enjoyed its ease of use. We will miss this product. I wish Tyler well.

Best wishes

Michael
