The Need for Speed

You have a collection of videos on your Mac. They’re movies you downloaded from your camcorder or digital camera, or perhaps projects you created yourself with iMovie. They could be short video clips that friends and family sent you by email, or TV shows, music videos, and movies that you recorded with EyeTV.

How do you make them iTunes®-ready for your iPod or Apple TV? How do you put them on a Sony PSP®?

The solution is Turbo.264, a blazingly fast and easy-to-use video encoder with a high-perfomance engine.

Why the hurry?

Videos can take a surprisingly long time to encode – sometimes longer than the actual playing time. What’s more, video encoding can demand a sizeable chunk of system resources. How long and how much depends on:

the processor speed of your Mac
the length and complexity of the source video
the size of the video file
the amount of video compression required for the desired end result

Turbo.264 accelerates video encoding up to four times faster on Macs with Intel Core processors. On an older Mac like a PowerPC G4 or PowerPC G5, the acceleration is exponentially faster.

Two-in-One TV for your Mac

EyeTV Hybrid does the work of two EyeTV hardware products for the price of one. It delivers free over-the-air digital TV to your Mac in stunning 720p or 1080i HDTV (MPEG-2) and other digital television standards, as well as conventional analog TV via standard cable or antenna.

EyeTV Hybrid also comes with a break-out cable for composite video and S-Video, enabling you to connect a set-top box directly to your Mac.

Superb quality digital TV recordings

EyeTV Hybrid records digital TV in one quality setting, Lossless. The digital stream is recorded unaltered for full quality digital content as encoded by the broadcaster. EyeTV also supports closed captioning and Dolby® Digital sound.

EyeTV Hybrid records analog television using the encoder built into the EyeTV software together with your Mac’s processor. As a result, the quality of the analog recording depends on the power of your Mac.
