HELP!!! EyeTv and Turbo.264

This is driving me mad!
When I use the 1'click export to Apple TV button on EyeTV2 with Turbo.264 plugged in, the red progress bar will go up and then down and then up and then down... and keep doing this for ages.
Then it will do one of two things:
1. Delete the output file leaving nothing
2. Leave me with a file which has the video broken up in the wrong order, but with constant (correct) Audio - (maybe the video is mirroring the jumping red progress bar??)
Without turbo.264 plugged in, it's fine. The iPod export works fine, as does the AUTOMATIC Apple TV export which you select for each 'Scheduled' programme.
I am using the latest software for ALL aspects.
Any thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks!

I have also bee using EyeTv 2.4 and h.264 1.1 since day dot and all is working perfectly. The only issue I have is that once exported and imported into iTunes the software doesn't clean up and remove the converted file from my Movies directory (I found 50gb of HDD last weekend)....
Cheers.

Elgato Turbo.264?

So I am looking into expanding my mac mini for use of audio and video editing. I have used my mini for about a year now for doing professional audio editing in Logic Express and have found it just dandy, still do. But my 80GB internal harddrive was getting even more cramped, especially after loading 10.5 Leopard a few days ago. Plus my 120GB and 250GB external HD's are packed with audio and video content I can not afford to erase so I went out and purchased another Lacie, 500GB USB2.0 and it works amazingly.
BUT... I feel my graphics are lagging. This is of course because the mini has integrated graphics, but more then this, while rendering in Final Cut and Motion. It has become a MAJOR pain, especially when my friend with a MB Pro sits next to me rendering the clip super fast. So I saw the elgato turbo.264 which states it will help with this, i have also read reviews into it.
My only question is, will this overtake day-to-day graphics processing? Thanks for any help!

turbo.264 will not accelerate, thus will not help you, your rendering needs. That job belongs to your CPU and your GPU, which are limited in a Mac Mini.
I own elgato turbo.264 and really does work and speeds up things in my dual 2.0 GHz G5 tower.
Because of my work, I encode a lot of videos to Apple Devices codecs in H.264. That is what the turbo is made for: encoding. it is not a graphic accelerator. it is an encoding accelerator. Regarding it being a USB, that has no effect. It works and does that fast. Time is money and now I am able to encode many times faster.
On the negative side, I have not been able to use it as an export component with Compressor just because I prefer it for professional jobs that require more control and metadata within the output file. If that does not apply to you, their application works perfectly and does batch exports. It also has custom settings.
Another minor negative is that Apple TV export are limited to 800x600 or 960x540 (anamorphic) thus not supporting the AppleTV supported 720p24... looks good but is less than what the AppleTV is capable of as long as your footage is 24 frames per second.
Hope this helps and that it can answer your question.
To me, I give elgato 4.9 out of 5.0, which I'll change to 5 out of 5 as soon as I can fix the Compressor thing

VHS movies to iMovie 9 via EyeTV and Toast 8.

I am importing VHS home movies to EyeTV on my Mac Pro. I am able to get a file with the EyeTV ext, and I am able to create a DVD through Toast 8. I want to edit this video with iMovie 9. iMovie wants a different file ext. Any help?

There are two ways to get movies into iMovie from EyeTV. You do not need Toast, unless you just want to add a step (although Toast is good if just want to make unedited DVDs)
1) Export your movie from EyeTV in h.264 format, or use the Apple TV preset.
2) The second way is a little more complicated, but it produces better results. Here it is. You will need to download and install MPEG Streamclip (free) and the QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component ($20).
I go into the EyeTV file and right-click/Show in Finder,then right-click/Open Package Contents. There you will find a folder of MPEG2 files with the .MPG extension.
You can drag these files into MPEG Streamclip and convert then into Apple Intermediate Codec.
If it offers to repair timecode breaks, say yes. You can also deinterlace the files in this step.
Then you can import the resulting AIC file into iMovie for Editing.

Elgato turbo.264 export fails in Compressor as a QuickTime Component

I would like to know if any user of Compressor 3 and elgato turbo.264 hardware accelerator has had succes in using the device as a QuickTime export component within Compressor.
I setup a few export settings but the Batch Monitor reports "3x encoder type unavailable".

You should report this to Elgato on their support site if you have not already. Add a trouble ticket here: http://support.elgato.com/

Media Encoder Now ONLY exporting F4V, FLV, MP3, and H.264

I've been using AME (CS 5.5 DP) for a few weeks to batch encode WMV and AVI files to QuickTime ProRes422(LT). It's been working great.
Starting today, AME no longer exports to QuickTime. The ONLY options I have for export are F4V, FLV, MP3, and H.264. What gives?
Re-installing CS5.5 did not help, nor did trashing the preferences. I did not update QuickTime or make any system changes.
Any advice would be great.
~PH

One of my coworkers just pointed out to me that what may have occurred is a failure of the licensing system. QuickTime export from AME isn't included in the trial version of Design Premium CS5. It may have occurred that the software "lost" its activation and started behaving like the trial version.
If this is the problem, then the most certain way of fixing the issue is to uninstall and then reinstall the CS5 software and reactivate it (re-enter the serial number).

Can anyone confirm if Elgato Turbo.264 HD works with iMovie '11?

I've been reading a couple of accounts of people who seem to be using Turbo.264 HD (hardware) to accelerate iMovie '11 encoding.
Yet on the Elgato site there is an (admittedly old) support article that says it is only compatible with iMovie '09. Other reviews around the 'Net say the same, and have not been updated with info about iMovie '11.
So can anyone confirm that they have a working setup with iMovie '11 and Elgato Turbo.264 HD (hardware version)? I'd like to make sure before I plunk down the money.
P.S. I know it doesn't seem to work with Final Cut Pro X, I'm focusing on iMovie for now.

confirmed
does an excellent job with my set-up (MacMIni, C2D, 2.26GHz) ...
in FCPX it's a 2step process: export timeline, drag resulting .mov into Turbo.app ...

FireWire problems (Eyetv and external drive)

Hello,
Has anyone seen problems with the firewire where two devices cannot be plugged in at the same time to the iMac? I have an external FW drive and an eyetv 200 box. When I plug in to the second port on the iMac and turn on the drive the eyetv disconnects (flashing red light on the eyetv) and no live tv signal. This disconnect happens regardless of whether it is the top or bottom FireWire port the EyeTV is plugged into. If I plug the eyetv into the Harddrive same thing and if I plug the hard drive into the eyetv, the eyetv dies again. Please let me know if any one has seen this problem. There weren't any obvious fix's at el gato's site. On my old DP 800 I did not have this problem.
Thank you for any help.
-Monterey

Hi, I am guessing that the new iMacs we have, have a "limited FireWire" power output, meaning the EyeTV unit is drawing too much power from the FW bus; If I am not wrong, the EyeTV unit does come with an optional power cord for self-external power supply and not need to draw from the FW port? You can try that.
Another way to test is if you have a self-powered FW hub, try plugging into that and see if it works.
Cheers

OVERCLOCKING AND TURBO BOOST IN A I-7 4790K ENVY

Can I overclock my HP ENVY 810-430qe CTO 4790K and still expect turbo boost to function?

Grizzler, welcome to the forum.
From what I have read, once you manually overclock the processor you should actually disable Turbo-boost. It can affect the stability of your processor. This makes sense. Overclocking generates much more heat.

Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
You should let it dry for a week or so, then try.
