Flip4MAc V’s Popwiire WMV

[Craig Seeman]

Flip4Mac Universal is in beta. Encoding times for version 2.1 should be many times faster than 2.0.2. I’ll probably be doing speed tests on the next build or so as I’m a beta tester.

Keep in mind Flip4Mac has a range of products which can encode right on up to WMV HD. Flip4Mac can also wrap WMV in MOV (no compression loss) if you need to edit WMVs in FCP also.

You are very welcome to our site, https://www.popwire.com and download Compression Master 4.0. – there is a lot of new features, codecs, formats
as well GUI enhancements.

the demo version will allow for 20 second jobs, but that will you a clue of the speed, as well giving you access to the very extended toolbox inside.
We are also introducing Flash 8 as a plug in.

all best

p.s one more thing…speed? yes it

[Daniel Weber]

When will you be adding Flash 8? I am looking for software to do flash videos with and looked on your site, but didn’t notice any mention of flash 8 in your specs.

A timeline would be good to know. I need to be able to do this pretty quick.

Thanks,

Daniel Weber

yes its there! look: https://www.popwire.com/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=48

Flash 8 is installed as a separate plug in , in Compression Master and Compression Engine.

Johan,

Thanks for the quick reply. Is this done using the ON2 codec?

Also does Compression Master allow for batch processing of multiple formats from the same clip?

Thanks,

Dan Weber

[Johan S]

yes we are using the On2 codec, together with our own pre-processesing filters.

Yes, Compression Master allows batch processing, and here is where
it gets interesting. If your workflow requires processing of a lot of files, you should look into Compression Engine. CE is a watch folder system, that can be extended with a cluster solution as well. Engine is even faster than Compression Master due to the fact that we allow the user to manually set the amount of jobs / CPU. – you can use a powermac quad and let all four cores handle one job each, ore one job split on all four cores. Trancoding to Real Surestream och WMV Intellistream where several streams are coded into one file will be very fast thanks to this.

These tools inside will make a difference when you tune you workflow for speed and throughput.

of course , both Compression Master and Compression Engine runs on Intel as well.

[Daniel Weber]

What is the difference between Compression Master and Compression Engine. I will be running this on one machine only. It is a dual processor G5.

Thanks,

Dan Weber

Compression Master is a desktop app where you add files and create settings as well as manually push the start transcoding button.

In our Compression Engine solution you receive Compression Master as well, but in this workflow you use Compression Master only to tune settings. these settings are then exported to any number of watch folders monitored by Compression Engine. These watch folder can f.x be resident on a shared storage. All media, single or multiple files, that are sent/uploaded/captured to a watch folder will be transcoded according to settings within, be it just one setting a or multiple ones. This an automatic workflow solution.

A very straight forward and powerful solution built around the OSX plattform

not sure what happend to this post….

All I need is WMV encoding out of FCP on Intel MAC,
Supposedly popwire can does this fro a great price
but is the quality good? does it do 2 pass VBR?

[Daniel_l]

Your post evolved and is the better for it.

Popwire can output great quality, it does 2 pass VBR and supports Intel Macs…The website has all that information, and more…only a few clicks away… https://www.popwire.com, you can even download it and try it out to see the quality and speed for yourself!!!
