Grass Valley Canopus FireCoder, Editing System for Creating Portable and DVD Ready Video, for Windows

Enjoy Feature-packed Versatility... The FireCoder package includes software applications and plug-ins specifically designed to harness the FireCoder board's MPEG encoding hardware technology, dramatically reducing the time it takes to prepare your video.

Handle Multi-format Video Encoding with UltraCoder:
UltraCoder software lets you convert MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, XviD, and Windows Media video to MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 at high speed, via the FireCoder board. But the conversion capabilities don't end there - UltraCoder supports software-based encoding between any of these formats, as well.

Queue up multiple encoding jobs and, in one step, batch convert them at a later time. Trim out unwanted sections of your video; create watch folders to automatically process any video files copied to them; and convert to file formats that are ready for DVD, Apple iPod and Sony PSP. UltraCoder even supports encoding of Windows Media HD and DivX HD.

Cut, Stitch and Burn MPEG Video with MPEGCraft 3 DVD:
The latest version of this easy-to-use MPEG editing software from Canopus can trim, cut, stitch, and re-encode MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video, even without requiringany encoding at all, in some cases. MPEGCraft 3 DVD also provides DVD import, chapter and menu creation for DVD export, and of course, it fully supports the FireCoder hardware's MPEG-2 encoding capabilities.

New to MPEGCraft 3 DVD is the ability to work with native HDV MPEG-2* footage, and use segment HDV encoding. With MPEGCraft 3 DVD, you can capture directly from your HDV camera, easily trim and remove sections of HDV content without having to wait hours and hours for a new HDV file to be created, and then exportback to tape. You can also use MPEGCraft 3 DVD to turn your HDV footage into a DVD for others to enjoy. You can export your MPEGCraft 3 DVD projects via the UltraCoder option, facilitating more export format possibilities.

Timeline Export Plug-ins:
If you prefer to edit your video content within a true NLE software package, FireCoder features plug-ins that enable the hardware to be used to export your Grass Valley EDIUS or Adobe Premiere Pro v1.x timeline to MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video at high speeds.
