Elgato Systems has recently released Turbo.264, its h.264 hardware video encoder accessory for Mac computers. Some may be asking why should I buy a video encoder when my Mac can already encode videos with h.264? Well, whenever you use Quicktime, for example, to encode a video, it is using the Quicktime software and your processor to render out and encode the video. When videos are being encoded it pretty much uses 100% of your processors power, leaving you with next to no room to do anything else(browse the internet, listen to music, etc).

MacBook Pro’s Getting LED

Comments Off
Well, it has been confirmed by Apple that sometime this year that they are going to be switching out the old laptop displays with LED back lighting. What does this mean exactly? Many things. Back lit LED displays consume far less power so your battery will last longer. They are also much brighter and have more vivid colors, while still using less power overall. So thats something to look forward to when the MacBook Pro series laptops are updated.
