Yes it encodes quickly. I have some codecs from http://blog.twenty08.com/2006/12/27/codec-pack-for-all-the-new-mac-users/ and I assumed they would work well. But when I drag my videos (more then five at a time) into the Elgato turbo window it crashes all the time. There is no way for me to drag more than three or four video files into the window... How come? This is in the latest osx. And further more this product does not work (maybe a codec problem) Leopard yet (we forgive this but maybe something they should start to look into)... Any thoughts on this guys? Hi, I just bought the product and I have mixed feelings about it. Yes it encodes quickly.

No. BTW - Elgato spells out very clearly on they're site that there are presets that cannot be changed. muaddib420 - Yeah, it's pricey but the beauty of it is that you get a huge boost in video encoding speed for relatively little money.

(and explain to me again why i would want to encode a DVD to stream to my appleTV when i could just walk over to the DVD player and put it in and press "play"). nice product, but definitely niche. this looks like a great product, but a bit expensive. seems like paying alot (a hundred bucks!) just to put some movies on your ipod or appletv.
