Episode for Mac

Publisher's Description

From Telestream:

Telestream Episode 6 is an all-in-one, multiformat encoding application designed for post production and new media workflows. It's the only cross-platform, multiformat software encoder on the market that scales from a desktop to a workgroup cluster to a dedicated server farm. Episode accepts and transcodes more video and audio file formats than any other encoder in its class. Best-in-class video processing, full 10-bit support and fine-tuning compression capabilities combine to allow you to generate excellent picture quality. Bumpers, trailers and watermarks can also be added to enhance and protect the video content.

What's new in this version:

  • Improved XDCAM HD encoding quality
  • Improved support for Android devices
  • Improved support for ProRes 4:4:4:4 alpha channels
  • WebM encoding fixes

    "POS - Stay away from this software"

    February 19, 2011  |   By snuforeo

    Version: Episode 6.0.1

    Pros

    Zero because never worked over installation.

    Cons

    Lots and lots of bugs... well - let's just start and end with the problem that the software would not work after installation. Just continued to get error messages... and I am not the only one. STAY AWAY. Waste of money.

    "Terrible, terrible, software - avoid this update!"

    January 11, 2011  |   By HumanMedia

    Version: Episode 6.0.1

    Pros

    The only pro is the potential functionality that the software promises (but alas, doesn't deliver)

    Cons

    The new UI is dreadful on every level, the quality of the video created is variable, features were taken out and there are bugs in every part of this product.

    Summary

    Version 5 was a reasonable product with a few issues and lots of promise. Its workflow worked pretty well and with some bug fixes it would be a good product. With the version 6 upgrade the UI goes in the exact wrong direction, features were taken out (pro AAC encoding) and the product is unusable with poor output and hundreds of bugs everywhere (yes even in 6.0.3). Episode is now dead.

    "Shareware Apps are more powerful than this app."

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    Downloaded this software and the same problem as compressionmaster if you drag a avi divx xvid into the job batch to convert it wont work. I expect from a $800 software to encode basic formats. $20 shareware apps can handle them.

    "Way overpriced mediocreware"

    July 11, 2006  |   By Rufus J

    Version: Episode 4.0.1

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    This app seems to have developed quite a mystique about it, but I suspect this is due mostly to its very high price tag, the apparent flexibility of export capability and the unashamed hyperbole of its developers. The fact is, output quality of its own mp4 and h264 codecs is well beneath what is achievable using the Apple supplied h264 encoder or any of the currently available QuickTime codecs from DivXâ?¢, 3ivx, or Xvid. I'm not a big fan of ffmpegX, but I do recommend MPEG Steamclip which has batch capabilities and allows quite a lot of adjustment as well as the use of all your QT codecs and MPEG exporting asnd editing. The scale and deinterlace functions in Compression Master are particularly disappointing, working very poorly in comparison to those found in freeware and shareware. Unless you really really need the ability to quickly apply presets and mix them in the queue, or need to export some very esoteric format, AND you don't mind spending lots of money for not much quality this might be for you.

    ...1.2 from Apple
    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    ...really the best what i have tryed the last Years....much better than Cleaner 5&6 & Compressor from Apple. Also much better than Squeeze but it was a nice try ...
    If you compare the results and the possibiliies...than a Pro have to choose Compression Master....& if you want to use Real Encoder ...this is the only solution witch can compress in the Real Format...the only thing is the Price...but for a Pro it's ok & for what it can do also...compared to Cleaner....
