HEURIS Ships MPEG Power Professionalä version 2.5
Upgrade delivers significant speed enhancements and better quality
St. Louis, MO, December 5th, 2001 – HEURIS, makers of the most widely used
professional MPEG encoder, MPEG Power Professionalä, today announced version 2.5 of MPEG Power Professionalä . This software upgrade is up to 50
percent faster than the 2.0 version, provides higher resolution scaling, improved handling
of titles and improved vector matching resulting in improved handling of high speed video
and panoramic pans. A host of other new features help make MPEG Power Professional 2.5 the
most comprehensive and fully featured MPEG encoding software package available.
MPEG Power Professional 2.5 runs significantly faster, allowing users to encode their
projects in a fraction of the time previously required. But this increase in speed does
not come at the expense of image quality. In fact, MPEG Power Professional 2.5 includes
features that offer overall image quality enhancements and new image processing
capabilities. Users no longer have to make the choice between quality and speed –
both can be achieved using MPEG Power Professional.
MPEG Power Professional also provides better DV support on Macintosh, directly supports
DirectX on PCs, includes AC-3 muxing abilities in DVD version as well as a more efficient
transport multiplexer. In addition, the new MPEG Power Professional will ship without a
security key or dongle.
"Once again, HEURIS has developed the most powerful and fully featured MPEG
encoding software package on the market," says Brian Quandt, President of HEURIS.
"MPEG Power Professional 2.5 not only gives our users higher quality encoding at
faster speeds than ever before, but also many advanced encoding options, including the
ability to easily take advantage of DVD technology without the need for the security key.
And as usual, we stand firmly behind our software products with some of the best technical
support teams in the industry."
