TMPGEnc
MovieStyle converts video clips to portable and high definition formats
compatible with a number of popular digital devices, including: iPod®/iPhone®,
Apple® TV, Sony® mylo™ COM-2, PSP™, Playstation® 3, Zune™, Xbox 360™, Nintendo
DS™ with PLAY-YAN, Nintendo® Wii™, PDA’s with Windows Media Player, and DivX®. Accepted
input formats include AVI, MPEG, MPEG4, Windows Media Video (wmv), QuickTime,
H.264, DivX®, DVD-Video/DVD-VR, Media Center PC (DVR-MS), and MOD (a file
format used by JVC Everio HDD camcorders).
HDV camcorder files are also supported.
MovieStyle’s
sleek and user friendly interface makes converting video clips a quick and
painless process. Simply select a device, then drag and drop video clips to
begin converting. The converting templates eliminate guesswork and saves time.
The included
TMPGEnc TransManager™ helps organize converted video clips
and assists in transferring the clips to the desired device.
A
number of time-saving features are also included. The
Quick Encode
feature allows users to convert video clips without opening the MovieStyle application.
Simply right-click on the video clip and select the desired digital device from
the drop-down menu to start converting. The
Drop Folder feature lets
users specify a folder for MovieStyle to monitor. When a video clip is saved in
the folder, MovieStyle will automatically convert it for the user-specified
digital device.
Other features allow users more control over the converting
process. The
Cinema Mode option converts the video to 24 frames per
second. For PSP users, the
PSP Overdrive option takes advantage of the
PSP LCD driver characteristics to improve video display quality. Users can also
enable
Karaoke Mode, which cancels out vocals from the audio track, and
use the
Pitch Changer settings to alter the audio pitch. The
Audio
Only option (not available for all devices) can convert video into an audio
file.
For users short on time, the
Time Stretch feature can
convert the video to play at up to 1.5 times the normal speed, complete with
fully understandable audio, allowing users to view a 1 hour video in
approximately 40 minutes. Conversely,
Time Stretch can also be used to
convert the video to play up to 50% slower, making a 1 hour video into an
approximately 2 hour video. This may be valuable for users who are learning a
new language and need to study pronunciation and sounds.
