Turbo.264 is a powerful video encoder in the form of a compact USB 2.0 stick. Use the included software to convert your Mac videos one at a time or in a batch; The application drops the converted file(s) into iTunes for you, ready to synch automatically with your iPod or Apple TV.

Alternatively, plug in Turbo.264 while you use the iPod or Apple TV export command of popular Macintosh video applications. Turbo.264?s hardware encoder jumps in to take over for your Mac?s processor, and does the hard work of encoding the videos to an H.264 format. Not only does Turbo.264 help get the job done faster, it frees up your processor for other tasks. Think of it as a ?co-processor? for your Mac.

Turbo.264?s software application offers a choice of four presets: High resolution for Apple TV (up to 800x600), high quality iPod (640x480), standard resolution for even quicker exports to iPod (320x240), and Sony PSP (368x208). 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. Turbo.264 supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios as well as widescreen content.
