With the introduction of Compression Master from Popwire Technology the reliability and speed of server based video encoding is brought to the desktop. With its extensive format support Compression Master converts to and from all common formats such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, QuickTime, DV, H.264, 3GPP, Flash, Windows and Real Media.


Start from one of 80+ supplied templates, or create your own encoding settings from scratch. Group your settings together. Drop a group of multiple encoding settings onto multiple content files, and watch as Compression Master produces the requested output media for all settings and all content files in one swift operation.


Developed from scratch in native OS X code, leveraging years of expertise in video and audio processing, Popwire's codecs are blazingly fast, while delivering unsurpassed quality. Additionally, these codecs give you access to over 45 media formats, such as MPEG2, MPEG4, DV, QuickTime, H.264, 3GPP, 3GPP2 and native OS X encoding of Windows and Real Media.

...at least not for me. It starts up, but then the job can't complete.
When they'll fix that, it it as good as you can get.

Compression Master Troubleshooting ReportBug with WMV->MPEG2 - Version: 3.0.2, 2/12/2005 11:01PM PST

OldMacDude
Wanted to try this product because it seems to be the only one out there that will convert WMV3 to anything else.

Unfortunately, if you set in and out points in the WMV file, although the MPEG2 video is encoded properly (and appears to look rather decent BTW), the audio does not encode the correct segment. If you encode the whole movie to MPEG2 beginning to end it seems to work OK. Which is a shame because I wanted to create several subsegments of the movie using the built-in fades, and then combine them with Streamclip. I tried some other audio-only formats, but the result was the same.

Also tried to go from WMV3 to DV for import in FCP, but the video always lost some rows off the bottom, whether using Letterbox or Distort. Also, the DV audio was not complete, but if encoded as a seperate run (audio only) it seemed to work. For this project, I couldn't afford to lose the bottom rows, so no go there.

My last try was to transcode to MPEG4 and import to FCP. That seemed to work, but rendering MPEG4 to work with in FCP was so painfully slow that I gave it up.

Dang.
