Description:
Elgato Turbo 264

Turbo.264 rapidly converts and drops videos into iTunes, ready to synch with your iPod, iPhone, Apple TV or Sony PSP. And even better, Turbo.264 does all the heavy lifting. While the hard work of video encoding is in progress, you can continue to work or play on your Mac.

Turbo.264 also accelerates the H.264 (MPEG-4) export command of popular Macintosh video applications, including EyeTV's Wi-Fi Access feature.

Unique Features

Quickly and easily export content to iPhone�, iPod�, Apple TV� and PSP�
Free up your Mac for other tasks while encoding
Convert videos to superior quality H.264 files
Accelerate EyeTV's Wi-Fi Access feature

Turbo.264 comes with an easy "drag and drop" application. The application converts unencrypted videos one at a time or in a batch, and drops the converted file(s) into iTunes, where they automatically synch with a connected iPod, Apple TV or iPhone.

Turbo.264 also supports the H.264 (MPEG-4) export command of popular Macintosh video applications, including EyeTV's Wi-Fi Access feature. Not only does Turbo.264 get the job done faster, it frees up your Mac for other tasks while video encoding is in progress. Think of it as a �co-processor� for your Mac.

Under the Hood
The software application that comes with Elgato Turbo.264 offers an easy-to-use choice of presets for the iPod, Sony PSP, Apple TV, and iPhone. For Apple TV content, the quality of videos encoded with Turbo.264 software is unrivaled: Turbo.264 converts standard definition television recordings without scaling so that recordings appear on Apple TV in the same resolution they were recorded.

Experienced video enthusiasts can adjust size, aspect ratio, overscan, frame rate, data rate, and AAC audio by creating custom settings. This enables you to:

convert widescreen DVD (VIDEO_TS) video files without black bars.
tweak video resolution and frame rate;
adjust the video settings so it plays on your smartphone;
pick the audio track you wish to go with the main feature when converting VIDEO_TS folders.

Turbo.264 supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios as well as widescreen content.
