Seems like a knockout product – DVCast
Having now tried the new DV cast, I am frankly amazed at its quality of encoding and logical, easy workflow.
Having just bought Squeeze, I am not a happy bunny – the price difference is remarkable – just $40 as opposed to almost $800!!
Has anyone else tried DVcast? Anyone doing a review?I have no connection with the company but was frankly so surprised at the value and quality of this product that I felt like shouting about it a bit 🙂
The link is here for those who have not seen it yet.

Paul,
Yes, I’m testing dvcCast and considering writing a review.
I was highly skeptical initially, having been very disappointed by other bargain basement apps that promise a lot and deliver very little, but so far my impressions for dvcCast are very favorable.
dvcCast is not the Swiss Army Knife of encoders, nor does it promise to do everything, but what it does do, it does very well. Plus, it does some things, the Samplelab feature for instance, that no one else does, and it does it with incredible elegance.
In fact, I’d have to say that overall, dvcCast is remarkably elegant. With it, anyone should be able to encode darn good looking web video while also targeting a bitrate that’s just right. I think this app can help a lot of those who have struggled to publish web video in the past and it just could make ugly web video a thing of the past.

I actually beta tested the software. What was cool about it for me, was SampleLab. Very neat. And the best thing about the quality was that it actually looked marginally better than Compressor at identical settings. Overall it’s very functionable, with intelligent frame control settings that tells you when you accidentally select the wrong frame size. No need to consult proportions. Yep, overall, it’s a surprisingly elegant software and i was actually surprised Josh put it up for 30 bucks, compared with the hundreds of bucks for the other encoding softwares in the market.
