First and foremost, Turbo.264 acts as a co-processor for your Mac, enabling you to quickly convert video to the processor-intensive H.264 format without using your Mac’s resources. Turbo.264 also puts a new engine into your older (pre-Intel) Mac by dramatically accelerating the encoding process.

Turbo.264 comes with an easy “drag and drop” application. The application converts video that is not copy-protected 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. The Turbo.264 application also encodes video to a YouTube®-friendly format and uploads it to your YouTube account.

Turbo.264 supports DVD chapter markers, and enables you to pick from multiple audio tracks. It can also preserve Dolby Digital™ audio when encoding to Apple TV format so you can play back video on your Apple TV with your multi-channel audio sound system. Turbo.264 supports the transcoding of entire transport streams, for example from set top boxes, and automatically detects widescreen DVD content to encode it without black bars.

EyeTV software and Turbo.264 work together seamlessly, and this powerful duo is highly recommended for anyone who uses EyeTV’s Wi-Fi Access feature. Continue to watch and record live television while Turbo.264 does the heavy work of preparing recordings for Wi-Fi Access in the background.

Finally, Turbo.264 speeds up the H.264 (MPEG-4) export from many popular Macintosh video applications. Turbo.264 supports hardware acceleration in QuickTime Broadcaster™ for real-time encoding.

    5 of 5 Excellent, works perfectly Thursday, January 01, 2009
    A Customer from Fort Pierce, FL  

    Radically reduces transcoding times on my iMac G5 and iBook G4. Installation of software is idiotically simple, and so is configuration. It works as a co-processor from within Roxio Toast for Mac to transcode to the .264 format with zero configuration. If you’re a Mac user who does lots of video conversion for an iPod, AppleTV, iPhone or other device using the 264 video format, this device is for ou.
