Review Summary
Telestream Episode Engine 6 for Mac is an enterprise-level software encoder that's optimized for throughput volume and processing speed. As you'd expect from a professional encoding solution, Engine supports the input and output of most professional and popular video and audio file formats and codecs.
The software provides access to all encoding parameters, but Episode Engine also offers a full set of pre-built settings templates for ease of use: No specialized knowledge of compression is required. Whether your output video is intended for the web, mobile devices, broadcast, DVD/Blu-ray, or for further work in post-production, Episode Engine has you covered.
The software includes all the functionality of its software sibling Episode 6, such as the drag-and-drop interface, the support for 4:2:2:4, 4:2:0 and 10-bit 4:4:4:4, support for 16 audio channels and frame rate conversion from PAL to NTSC and vice versa, with appropriate pulldown. Other shared features include closed captioning, filters, bumpers, picture-in-picture, two-pass encoding and support for alpha channels. Engine also includes all the Pro version's features, such as expanded format & codec support and surround-sound encoding (5.1 and 7.1)
And for the speediest software-based encoding, the enterprise-friendly Engine also is able to process unlimited jobs in parallel so that you can create multiple output files in one shot. Further, it leverages multiple system cores, machines, or server clusters to implement its Split-and-Stitch distributing encoding technology.
