Turbo.264 HD vs Turbo.264

Turbo.264 HD vs Turbo.264 Here we will review both the Turbo.264 & Turbo.264 HD as to speed & quality of encodes. We will be using a 6 min vob file & converting it to Apple TV format. Let’s see which is faster.

As with the new updates to the turbo.264 HD it now supports encoding to 1080p & 720p which is great for folks that want those hi res videos. Currently the new version also takes advantage or your systems cpu along with it’s own hardware encoder to speed up the process of encoding your files. Some folks may not like that idea to much but in order to take advantage of those 1080 & 720p encodes it’s a must. Which is why the previous version of the Elgato turbo.264 had so many limitations when it came to encoding.

This is a great way to archive your movies to use with Toast to burn to DVD, or to play on your PS3 so long as you keep it under 4GB due to the FAT32 file system limit. Both of these programs are about $50 in price & offer many different options as to what you can do with them. Both of these programs use the VIDEO_TS folder from any movie that was ripped to your hard drive or directly from the DVD it self as long as it is unencrypted.

Connect: Final Cut Pro and ADVC-300 This tutorial we shall be going over on how to connect your ADVC-300 or similar device to your computer running Final Cut Pro, in order to capture your video. In my example I am using a Sony VHS to DVD Recorder, but in most cases you may be using a regular VCR which the steps outlined will still be the same. Make sure that you have your ADVC-300 device connected and both your computer & device turned on. Keep in mind that some applications such as iChat or Screen Sharing can conflict with your device so be sure not to be running those while doing your capture. Just follow the video tutorial for the rest of this setup.

Now you can customize it to the way you want it to look for example a 30/70 split, Linear, Radial, Reverse Angle. So if you were on iWeb 08 and upgraded to iWeb 09 now you can spice up those previous pages you had created.

iWeb 09: Publish Features

iWeb 09: Publish Features With the new release of iWeb 09, many new great features were added. Many of these were requested by iWeb 08 users. Particularly users that have there own web host rather then Dot Mac or Me Dot Com. Now iWeb 09 users can not only publish to there ME/Account but also to a specified folder & ftp/sftp account. Maybe one of the best features is now that when you update your site it only updates the site your working on rather then all of your sites, and to the selection you picked for it.

So if you build sites for others they no longer need to be on you Me/Account they can be saved somewhere else. Another great addition is the FTP upload directly within iWeb 09 is self. This is great if you don’t already have a ftp client of your choice to use.

Feel free to comment or leave your suggestions on iWeb 09.

defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true

Don’t forget to restart your system after using the terminal commands.
