This is an updated version of the original Elgato Turbo 264. Encoding using the Turbo 264 HD is much faster, probably by about two-thirds, and this can improved further if your Mac (Intel only) is fast and not running other apps. The interface is easy to use, mostly using drag & drop and selecting one of the many export presets available (iPhone, iPod, HD AppleTV etc.), though there are also plenty of other customisation export options - including the ability to transcode between different formats. Exports can be stacked in batches and left to run and the final image quality is consistently high, it will also export up to HD 1080p size if needed.Admittedly the Turbo 264 HD is not exactly cheap but if you are serious about video quality and do a lot of video encoding (eg: from ripped DVDs, family videos, podcasts, even pro work) then this little dongle will save you literally hours and hours of your precious time.

Bought this to speed up the workflow of video encoding to send to clients and for web distribution. On its own it works fine and is very fast. However, when used in conjunction with Final Cut Pro, it has a lot of bugs - known bugs that Elgato have been aware of for quite some time according to their forums yet are still present. Exporting directly from Final Cut results in missing audio, dropped frames, stuttering and unrendered portions of video. It defeats the point of having to render out full versions or reference versions as they suggest to then encode afterwards.When it works, it's incredibly fast - it can take 10-20 minutes to export a 3 minute H.264 version, this does it in about 1-2 minutes. Unfortunately, it's bug ridden for my workflow (a workflow it is supposed to support) and I can see no fix in site (the issues have been there for about 9 months now).

Whilst I realised a 2 x Quad 2.8ghz Mac Pro (3,1) with 16gb RAM was not going to get a 500% boost from the Turbo.264HD, I had assumed I'd get a small but appreciable boost nonetheless.However, I get the same encode speed (±5%) in the supplied software whether I have the dongle attached (light flashing during encode) or not.I also get faster encodes (for the same quality/file size) if I use Handbrake without any hardware acceleration.The only benefit I am currently gaining from the Turbo.264HD is that is reduces the workload on the processors compared to Handbrake (which can use up to 90% of my processor capacity).Wonder if this is normal, or whether I've got a non-operational dongle?
