BOSIE It would be nice if Elgato's website actually worked. When I try to purchase the upgrade, i'm forced to register (again, it doesn't recognise my old login) then complains about an order error because it tries to proceed without asking for any credit card info. Ok this aside, I fail to see what makes this software a big figure version hike (other than to extract more cash). Given Elgato's European roots it still supports only the US preferred MPEG-2 HD which in Europe is considered the poor relation to MPEG-4 HD as employed for example by the BBC HD. Over 1 year ago Elgato promised MPEG-4 HD support was a priority. It didn't happen. Subject: [Elgato #IKT-901299]: BBC HD1 Date: 18 December 2006 21:54:57 GMT Reply-To: support@elgato.com Thank you for contacting Elgato Systems. Your analysis is correct. See this article: http://faq.elgato.com/index.php/faq/more/408 EyeTV should be updated to play H.264 relatively soon. A guess (not an offical statement) would be in the first half of 2007, but I can't say for certain at this time. This is one of our priorities for future development. The main issue is that QuickTime isn't suitable for this, so we would have to provide our own playback engine. We use our own engine for all the files we receive. Elgato Systems LLC (Version 3.0) |
