MegaPEG HDTV is our flagship MPEG2 encoding product, supporting all MPEG2 encoding profiles for high-definition digital television (HDTV), standard definition digital television (SDTV, STV), digital versatile disc (DVD), and more. Built-in analysis functions based on MPressionist Pro HD means unparalleled information about the encoding process.
Optimized for the Apple Macintosh and optimized for the G4 and G5 microprocessors.
Main features:
- Log, Full, Hybrid and Telescoping Search algorithms with selectable Full or Half-pel precision.
- Completely user configurable motion search range. In conjunction with MPressionist.X, find the exact range you need.
- Open and closed GOP "group_of_pictures" frame patterns with user-defined custom patterns.
- 3 Levels of DCT/IDCT algorithm "round trip" for the discerning compressionist. All the Velocity Engine that fits.
- Both fast and high-quality color space conversion algorithms for the discerning compressionist.
- Both linear (MPEG-1) and non-linear quantization modes with predefined and user-selectable quant matrices.
- Extremely reliable rate control with analysis and graphing tools for identifying potential problem areas.
