  Can I get faster encoding of my PPro projects with elgato turbo.264 HD hardware?

  Posted by Shayne Weyker on December 22, 2011 at 1:23 am

  I work from a MacBook Pro and and am looking at having to do a bunch of long h.264 encodes.

  I want to use Premere CS5.5 and be able to export directly from Premiere or Media Encoder taking advantage of an elgato turbo.264 HD I have.

  Or failing that, I want to be able to export to a format that will export at or near real time speed but keep quality and be readable by the elgato conversion software or MPEG Streamclip (which can use the elgato hardware).

  If it’s not at around realtime speed doing that original export to an intermediate codec then I might as well just export straight to h.264 without acceleration.

  I have the mpeg2 playback component for quicktime and the QT7 player installed. The sequences I’m editing are various progressive flavors of xdcam ex, being edited from native BPAV folders.

  As many people have pointed out before exporting using Media Encoder’s “match sequence settings” checkbox is not the answer, as it seems to produce an I-frame only flavor of mpeg-2 .mpeg file whose video can’t be decoded by streamclip, elegato’s software, or QT player 7 or X (with mpeg-2 playback component installed). OSX quick look plays it fine though.

  I don’t want buy a Matrox i/o box with Max just for this. Please help.

  p.s. Why doesn’t Mac Adobe Media Encoder let the user export QuickTime files in xdcam ex format?
  And why are there only DV presets for QT export?
