"The MPEG Power Professional—DVD software encoder provides an excellent combination of features, performance, and ease of use. The documentation provided with the evaluation software included a helpful and clear installation guide, user manual, release notes, and a trouble-shooting guide that anticipated and answered any questions I had. Technical support responded quickly, knowledgeably, and correctly…The MPEG Power Professional-DVD system is an excellent tool with professional features, and it will cost you a lot less than hardware encoders."

"It’s probably the best pure encoding interface we’ve seen on any compression product, any where, any time…"

Jan Ozer, E-Media Magazine

 "The HEURIS product was selected because it’s simply one of the best software MPEG encoders in the market, and understandably, widely adopted. Much of their success has to do with the fact they have sales, marketing, distribution, and a great amount of positive word-of-mouth about their company and its products…

…To cut to the chase, we found that the HEURIS MPEG encoder performs its task better than most hardware encoders we’ve tested…We generated a special video clip which stressed the encoder to its limits, using a series of rapidly changing scenes and transitions…Without exception, the hardware encoders not only generated our clips poorly, but also created a series of artifacts that were most annoying to the trained eye…However we were pleased with the performance of encoded video delivered by the HEURIS software based encoder."

"HEURIS also won a Hyper Award for 1997 from New Media Magazine. The Hyper Award is the highest accolade New Media gives to hardware and software products. Hyper Award winners are those products that represent the highest achievements in innovation and technical excellence… MPEG Power Professional fills the bill for digital-media pros who care about video quality…."

"Anybody looking to get into DVD should look at HEURIS’ new software and weigh the time-vs.dollars issue, but without fear of quality loss."

"I installed the Power Professional software and hardware key without a problem and ran the excellent tutorial which should be a model for other vendors of PC products."

Bob Gillman, AV Video

"The interface gives the user the best of both worlds by either encoding with the touch of a few simple buttons--a help for the novice- or giving more experienced users a plethora of compression options, including a video-stream analysis and a variety of filtering options."

Jeff Sauer, New Media.

"MPEG Power Professional is the only MPEG compression solution that keeps video entirely in the digital environment. That leads to better quality visuals and a lot more flexibility in the end product--plus smaller files can fit on a single CD-ROM. Not to mention the cost savings--the product paid for itself before our first project was done. Not many investments give you that kind of return."

 "HEURIS’ MPEG Power Professional DVD is bar far the most sophisticated and best-designed and documented program in the group tested…"

Jan Ozer, E-Media Magazine

 "The HEURIS package produced quite compact VBR code with a low, average quantization level."

Trevor Marshall, Byte.com

"The high-end version of MPEG Power Professional 2.0 costs $2,500 for the DVD version. If you plan to distribute your content in DVD-R, it’s well worth the cost."

Jeff Senna, InfoWorld

"The price of the DVD version of MPEG Power Professional may be a little bit hefty for some people’s budgets but the feature set of this version definitely justifies it. Multipass VBR encoding is essential for quality results and many of the hardware systems that perform these same tasks are in the $20,000 range."

" For the past two years, HEURIS has obtained a stream of national awards for technical excellence and innovation."
