What's new in Turbo.264 version 1.4?

Improved Picture Quality

In many cases, encoded files are sharper due to improved deinterlacing. This reduces encoding speed somewhat, especially on slower Macs.

Advanced Options

Three advanced custom options have been added.

The “Dolby Digital” option preserves Dolby Digital AC-3 audio when encoding to Apple TV.

The “Chapter Markers” option creates QuickTime chapter markers from sources that contain chapter markers, e.g. DVD.

The “Closed Captions” option creates a QuickTime closed caption track from NTSC sources with closed captions.

Bug Fixes

• Files encoded to iPod/iPhone formats no longer cause the second-generation iPod touch to crash.
• A problem where files encoded from EyeTV 3.1.1 to Apple TV, iPhone or iPod did not contain the sound track has been resolved.
• QuickTime Player no longer plays back files with an incorrect gamma value.
• iMovie projects that contained a title at the beginning no longer export at 1 frame per second.
• Files exported from Final Cut Pro are no longer cropped.
• Improved recovery after encountering a communication problem on the USB bus.
• Exports to Apple TV now play on the PS3.
• Audio/Video synchronization issues with certain source files have been resolved.
