EyeTV 3 and Turbo.264 HD

EyeTV 3 and Turbo.264 HD In this tutorial we will go over on how to use the EyeTV 3 and Turbo.264 HD. Original source video was recorded using the Hauppauge HD PVR with a resulting file size of 103mb @ 720p HD, then we use EyeTV3 to export at iPod High settings in conjunction with the Turbo.264 HD encoder. To drastically reduce our encode times.

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.

Have Fun & Enjoy.

MAC: Convert DVD to .VOB

MAC: Convert DVD to .VOB Here is a quick tip in order to convert your DVD’s to a .vob file. 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.

MAC: DV Kitchen

MAC: DV Kitchen is a great video encoder which uses the x264 codec that will for the most part create smaller file sizes while at the same time keeping the video quality it self, and with the help of the bitrate calculator it comes in very handy.

MAC to Linux – Encode Video To OGG OGV

MAC to Linux – Encode Video To OGG OGV In this tutorial I will show you a way to encode video for Linux users that may not want to install players or codecs that support other video formats except for maybe .ogg which is will play by default. Videos are encoded to .OGV format or otherwise known as .OGG to some folks.

Program used is called ffmpeg2theora
Which is a command line program it will also allow you to adjust the video & audio aspects as well as crop your video as well.

Please note that I find the export times to be very long when using large video files.
