Are you sick and tired of how long it takes to encode video on your Mac? Elgato has come to the rescue with the new Turbo.264, a simple device which connects to your machine via USB and helps boost video encoding speed.
The Turbo.264 acts like an additional processor that removes the encoding load from the Mac’s actual processor. This means video encoding can be done much quicker, and your Mac’s processor is free to complete other tasks. On an Intel Mac, videos encode 2 to 4 times as faster, whereas on the PowerPC platform, the speed increases even more.
The Turbo.264 will set you back $99.95, not too shabby for such a nifty piece of hardware. I look forward to picking one up when they start shipping.
