An USB stick converts movies into the H.264 format for iPod, Apple TV and iPhone

Elgato announced a new hardware for mac that helps you to encode your movies for your iPod, Apple TV or the upcoming iPhone.

The Turbo 264 is a USB stick that is very easy to use. Plug it in your mac, install the software and you are ready to go. The stick is a H.264 video encoder hardware that helps you to encode movies in H.264 format that are playable on your iPod, Apple Tv or iPhone. Of course you could play this files also in Quicktime or iTunes and other devices as Sony's PSP or various other mobile phones.

The stick speeds up encoding by two up to four times the speed and takes the encoding process from the CPU to the stick so that you could work on your mac unrestricted.

The stick could be used from any appilcation that uses Quicktime to export to H264 format for example iMovie HD or Elgato EyeTV. To use it with Quicktime you will need Quicktime Pro but Elgato also offers a simple application that comes with the stick to encode movies.

Elgato hopes to release the stick at the end of April 2007 for 99 Euros.
