Features
First and foremost, Turbo.264 acts as a co-processor for your Mac, enabling you to quickly convert video to the processor-intensive H.264 format without using your Mac’s resources. Turbo.264 also puts a new engine into your older (pre-Intel) Mac by dramatically accelerating the encoding process.
Turbo.264 comes with an easy “drag and drop” application. The ap­plication conver ts video that is not copy-protected one at a time or in a batch, and drops the conver ted file(s) into iTunes®, where they automatically sy nch with a connected iPod, Apple TV or iPhone. The Turbo.264 application also encodes video to a YouTube®-friendly format and uploads it to your YouTube account.
