Digiami - HD MPEG-2 encoding

Digigami - Main

Long Beach, CA - September 28, 2005 · Digigami today announced it is now shipping MegaPEG HDTV for Macintosh OS X based laptops and workstations, its flagship MPEG-2 Encoder for compressing High-Definition video into standards-compliant MPEG-2 (ISO/IEC 13818) bitstreams. The product creates streams compatible with ATSC (North American), ISDB-T (Japan) and European (EBU) standards for HD, and can perform format conversion on the fly, including SD upconversion and HD downconversion and conversion from ATSC to EBU and vice-versa.

The product, in it's third major revision since 1996, is unique in the world of HD encoding tools by integrating compression with built-in picture quality analysis tools (PQA) which provides the encoding operator with unparalleled feedback, diagnostics and control over the encoding procedure. MegaPEG HDTV includes an integrated PQA tool with the same features as Digigami MPressionist Pro HD. Any HD encoding job can be paused and the intermediate compression results analyzed to ensure that the stream meets quality expectations.

editor's note

I took a look at this product. It's depth is scary. If you want to know how/why your MPEG-2 files come out looking the way the do (without suprises) it is the only software way I know of. If your business is DVD authoring on the mac, you must check out this product.
