Anyone using Episode Pro MPEG encoder for Mac?

[Rich Rubasch]

Rhozet was a 25 minute waste of time. $5000 to make some pretty MPEGs? No thanks.

Depends on your budget and clientele. For a large post house or multimedia house that does a LOT of DVD’s, $5,000 could be one job. If the thing works fast and is reliable, I could see something like that being useful for someone doing a lot of DVD authoring.

Nigel,

Episode Pro is so easy to use, you drag and drop your FCP movie into it, drag a preset or two or three onto it, set a destination and go. If you want to customize each setting, just click on it and change whatever you want, including filters etc.

Chris, I can’t drag a FCP file to it, it simply rejects it. I first have to save it, then stick a .mov extention on. Then when it is done in Episode, it is saved with a .ts exetention that is not compatible with DVDSP?
