    AFAIK, there is a free demo, you can create your own.
    I’m a happy Cinemacraft user, although on Windows.
    It is fast and good. (well, if you do a 10 pass it’s not that fast, but (depending on source and drive speed) up to 4 times RT per pass is fast enough for me.)

    Quality is awesome.

    No free demo for Mac, that’s why I had to ask.

    I can’t find any real live comparisons anywhere.

    Thanks for chiming in, guys.

    Better than Compressor?
    Better than Episode?
    How much better?

    Yes

    [jeff coleman] “Better than Episode?

    Don’t have Episode, so cannot compare.

    [jeff coleman] “How much better?

    That’s for you to decide.

    Cheers

    [Jeremy Garchow] “can you show me where?

    No free Compressor plug-in demo.
    Google Cinemacraft, there was a free watermarked demo which only runs on Windows,
    but if you read my post, you can encode using MacDrive, which allows Windows to read
    QT files created on your Mac.
    Try that, cheaper than the Compressor plug-in.

    Cheers

    ha ha ha, sincker snicker snicker. Thanks for your persistence, Alexander. Unfortunately, I don’t live near a Windows machine or else I’d give it a go.

    Just to clarify. MacDrive allows Windows to read a Mac formatted drive. It doesn’t add additional QuickTime functionality to Windows, unless your files are on a Mac formatted drive.
