Also, the original Turbo.264 HD is now priced at just $99.95, making that one more affordable as well. It's available as a trial to see if it works well for you, and at $49.95, it's far cheaper than the original.

The software integrates well with iMovie, and it includes pre-set conversion rates for putting files onto iPad, iPod, iPhone or any other portable media viewer. Turbo.264 HD SE is sort of like a 'light' version of the original it lacks the hardware acceleration present in the hardware dongle, but it still speeds up the process at least 2x-4x compared to using Apple's own system. Now, the Turbo.264 HD Software Edition has arrived to solve that problem, and possibly offer a solution to those who held off on spending $150 just to speed up their encodes/transcodes. That's obviously not always convenient, and if you forget your dongle, the software is worthless. While that worked great in speeding up the transcode process, it required that a USB dongle be plugged in during the process. It's almost unavoidable.Įlgato, a few years ago, introduced a software/hardware solution called the Turbo.264 HD. For anyone who has ever tried to edit a few clips together in iMovie and then export that into a smaller file format for uploading, you probably understand the frustration that comes with waiting for hours as it converts and transcodes. It's a real shame that Elgato's latest piece of software is Mac-only, but for those who rely on Apple's operating system to get their computing done, this one may just be worth a look.
