"HEURIS is the market leader in software based MPEG encoding, and they have now significantly increased the performance of their high quality encoder with a Velocity Engine version for the Power Mac G4.  This is a terrific example of the rapid adoption of the G4 with Velocity Engine by multimedia developers, and our customers are delighted to have HEURIS MPEG Power Professional as a valuable part of their video tool bag on the Power Mac."

"Content developers have been looking for a complete HD video solution, but at an affordable cost. We asked HEURIS to participate in this demonstration because their unique technology allows users to convert directly from QuickTime files to HD resolution MPEG 2 video streams that we can then use with a PC based DTV decoding card and DVD-RAM technology to bring a very low cost but very high quality HD resolution business to consumer video distribution system to the market".

Stuart English, Broadcast Vice President of Marketing, Panasonic

Plus, Heuris’ ongoing focus on file conversion means our customers can expect continuously up-to-date support for the very latest versions of file formats as they evolve over time. There is simply no other product on the market that addresses such a full range of popular digital video file formats."
