Can you remove the potato inside your mouth please

@cybertronx1701 I do not have one in there, just checked ;)

Dude...You have got to be kidding me right? It took that device 4 mnutes to encode a 5 minute video?...LOL...Where is the advantage on this? It is encoding in "real time". My Quad Core Q9400, without Elgato, encodes a full DVD movie to Divx format in exactly 23 minutes!!!!!!!!...For $99.00 I think that Elgato device is useless if it encodes at that speed.

@scorbing This was not tested on a quad core machine though.

Nice review. Could use some speed comparisons with the Elgato and without it.

@attizzoso just been to site and it's how they pronounce it so why shouldn't we?

[TheMacSpeaker]

would this be good for converting blurays recorded through a HD PVR in eye tv

[attizzoso]

[jegriva]

There's still people who makes confusione between DovX e AVC/h.264..

Why sell some encoding software when it can be done for free, I use a program called a Tube catcher before I download or even encode a film I set it to MP4 format go in the settings set them all in to FULL HD then I encode a duth movie takes about 3 hours to convert,once its been encoded the movie comes out sooooo clear its allmost in blue ray,dont cost me a penny to do that

@MrYouwatchthis Drag a video into the window, select YouTube or YouTube HD as the format. The click the little 'You' icon, then Account appears where you can add and remove accounts.
