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.

UltraCoder Software

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 requiring any 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 export back to tape. You can also use MPEGCraft 3 DVD to turn your HDV footage into a DVD for others to enjoy.

*MPEGCraft 3 DVD only supports encoding and export of 1080i HDV

You can export your MPEGCraft 3 DVD projects via the UltraCoder option, facilitating more export format possibilities.
