Convert your video files for iPhone and iPad playback and get instant access to HD camcorder video from your Mac. Turbo.264 HD uses advanced encoding technology to generate superior-quality video in a universal format that looks great on an iPad and on the high-resolution display of a Mac

Instant access to HD camcorder video from your Mac

The Turbo.264 HD video converter software is fast and easy to use, and can handle nearly any kind of video file including downloads, MKV files and AVI files. Turbo.264 HD saves you time – especially if you use an HD camcorder – because you can preview and crop your video instantly, before converting it. Simply drag and drop the file into the software application and then preview, trim and combine multiple video clips into one movie. Turbo.264 HD can even handle batch processing and it automatically detects AVCHD camcorders.

Boost the speed of even the fastest Mac

Use the converter software on its own or with the included hardware accelerator. The hardware accelerator connects via USB and acts as a “co-processor” to accelerate video conversion on even the fastest Mac.

Supercharge EyeTV for iPhone and iPad

If you have EyeTV and an iPhone or iPad, you’ll find the hardware accelerator indispensable. It not only accelerates the delivery of EyeTV recordings to iPhone and iPad, it also maximizes the picture quality of the EyeTV app (available on the App Store) by adapting the video stream to available bandwidth during live TV streaming.

Turbo.264 HD is the fast and easy way to convert camcorder and video files for your iPhone and iPad.

    Unbelievably fast!

    • Written by

    I use this to convert movies (VIDEO_TS format) to Apple TV format. On my MacBook Pro it does this conversion three to four times faster than realtime! It's amazing.

    And I love being able to convert clips directly from my Panasonic HD camcorder.     …More

    Waste of money

    • Written by from San Jose

    This product does exactly what it says on the box; it makes AppleTV format movies in a very short time. The issue is, they're unwatchable. I've ripped 15 movies in the last 10 hours, and not one of them has the audio in sync with the image.

    From a quick google search, it seems that if you're converting AVI/DIVX to MP4, this product, is not for you.

    I'll be returning mine to the store later today.     …More

    Turbo.264

    • Written by from Hobe Sound

    During a One on One session, I bought this on the recommendation of my Trainer. It is awesome! I first used it on my 15" Mac Book Pro. While rendering a video, I checked my CPU usage with iStat. My Mac Book Pro wasn't even working hard. I could surf the net, work in iMovie without any problems. I would recommend this product to anyone. …More

    cannot find any syncing problems

    • Written by from ridgmont

    have been using for a week so far on a dozen video_ts folders. I love being able to just drag the movie folder that contains the video_ts folder straight into turbo 264 hd multiple times to form a Queue and let it get on with it. So far the encoding is very fast i have used lots of different re encoding programs on windows machines but for vob files to mp4 at decent quality this program gets a 100% vote from me. …More

    Very unreliable - years of audio sync problems

    • Written by from Randwick

    DO NOT BUY. Read the other reviews carefully - both the HD and original versions of this product have serious problems keeping audio in sync. I've owned mine since 2008. There have been only four updates to the software in that period. None of them fixed this much-complained about problem.

    Much easier to just encode when your processor has down time. Encode at night and save the aggravation of returning this dodgy product.     …More

    USB device may not be required

    • Written by from Greenfield

    I ordered this a while ago to use with a 2007 MacBook Pro, and it works well, as advertised. I tried it with my quad-core i7 MacBook Pro, and it actually encodes faster without the USB stick. Significantly faster. So, you may not need the USB stick at all.

    As for the software, it's turnkey out of the box good stuff for converting video to stream to my iPad using Air Video. I batch a bunch of video files for conversion and let it rip. They all resize consistently and the video quality is great.     …More
