I used eo-video for some video conversion and it did some things VERY well. The software was sold as "version 1.36, you'll get a free 2.0 upgrade real soon" Well, as it often happens, verision 2.0 takes a long time. Frankly I am happy for the 1.36 I got - for me, it was worth the price. So this is not really a complaint about the product, just about mishandling of expectations. Also, 2.0 is supposed to have an API, which is VERY GOOD.
What has been happening is that about every couple of months the company posts "we are N*almost there to release 2.0", where N is the number of months since the original promise date.
It started off something like "August 18, 2005 Our developers are working hard on the last phases of development and testing of version [2.0]"
And this was their latest pearl:
"May 13, 2006 We haven't published any news lately because the new version is almost there, but just not ready for release yet. However, there is a document in preparation, with detailed overview of the forthcoming version, which is going to be published on our web site and we believe this will help to understand the capability of the innovative and powerful new technology built in the EO-Video [2.0]."
