The thing that usually gets most people is the audio track in the video file.
Do your videos have Dolby AC3, DTS or DTS-HD sound tracks? If the answer is yes, you will definitely need the Pro version. [This is mentioned in th App Store description in the section called “GET MORE WITH INFUSE PRO!”]. These audio format require a license fee to Dolby which is why they are not available in the free version.
As the non-Pro version is free, why don’t you try installing it and test it with some of your videos … I’ll soon tell you if it needs the Pro erosion.
i do but i only have my mbp 14 ,which isnt rly dolby compatible is it ?
ye but the problem is i already took infuse pro yearly haha,cuz i thought it was needed to play 4k hdr
Maybe not look at it as a “problem” but as a deal that first, you have fixed rate now for the annual subscription so if it goes up at the app store in the future you will still pay what you do now as long as you don’t let it lapse.
Second, by going to the pro version you don’t have to worry about those formats and codecs that require the pro version to play, you have that covered now.
Third, with the pro version you have all of your corrections to matches, library, playback progress, and watched history in iCloud so if you have a second Apple device like a phone or ipad it will stay matched across all of them and don’t forget that you get the Chromecast and AirPlay ability too.
Lastly and probably most importantly, it helps keep the developer working so they can provide new features, bug fixes, and maintaining a great product.
Ye I know i remember you lol
By problem I meant that because of that i couldn’t try the free version as he recommended me ,not that I regret getting the pro ,do you get me ?
Do you have knowlege on which codecs and files arent compatible on free version ?
I only use a Mac
As for helping the dev ,i agree
I’ve got the Pro version and am stuck on version 6. Does the “lifetime subscription” apply only to the current version, and do I need to pay for a “lifetime subscription” again for every new version they release?
If you get the lifetime subscription it will cover v7, v8, v9, etc. you won’t need to get another one
I paid for Pro version 6 and can’t upgrade. Why is this ?
Many moons ago (v5/v6), there were two versions of infuse in the App Store. A “free” version that required a subscription and a paid version. You have the paid version. When purchasing the paid version it was only for that specific version. So if you bought Infuse pro 5, you would then have to buy infuse pro 6. One of the main reasons for having two apps was this was the only way to share purchases with family. But Apple introduced family shared subscriptions and the dedicated pro version was no longer needed. So to get all the latest features, you should get the free Infuse app and buy a monthly, yearly, or lifetime subscription. This will be valid for all versions going forward, including the upcoming v8, but also v9, v10, etc…
I think (at least I think it used to be that way) if you keep the “pro“ version on your device when you get the new version, there is a one free year if you purchase the annual subscription.
