Product Description:

Turbo.264 is a powerful hardware encoding device that quickly converts any video to the advanced H.264 (MPEG-4) format without using your Mac resources. Work, watch TV and surf the web while you encode video with no reduction in processing speed. Turbo.264 supports many third-party Mac video applications as well as EyeTV.

What's new in this version:

  • What's new in Turbo.264 1.4?
  • Improved Picture Quality:
  • In many cases, encoded files are sharper due to improved deinterlacing. This reduces encoding speed somewhat, especially on slower Macs.
  • Advanced Options:
  • Three advanced custom options have been added.
  • The "Dolby Digital" option preserves Dolby Digital AC-3 audio when encoding to Apple TV.
  • The "Chapter Markers" option creates QuickTime chapter markers from sources that contain chapter markers, e.g. DVD.
  • The "Closed Captions" option creates a QuickTime closed caption track from NTSC sources with closed captions.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Files encoded to iPod/iPhone formats no longer cause the second-generation iPod touch to crash.
  • A problem where files encoded from EyeTV 3.1.1 to Apple TV, iPhone or iPod did not contain the sound track has been resolved.
  • QuickTime Player no longer plays back files with an incorrect gamma value.
  • iMovie projects that contained a title at the beginning no longer export at 1 frame per second.
  • Files exported from Final Cut Pro are no longer cropped.
  • Improved recovery after encountering a communication problem on the USB bus.
  • Exports to Apple TV now play on the PS3.
  • Audio/Video synchronization issues with certain source files have been resolved.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC

Audio is always out of sync and video quality is awful ... basically makes worthless unwatchable files. I recommend using the free program Handbrake instead.

At least they're working on improving this app - still not as feature rich as handbrake and the like, it gets better with each release!

BTW: The Turbo.264 hardware works completely as advertised!
