At the top right corner of the Turbo.264 HD window 

there is a circular gauge.  It will be red, and will 

point at "off", if the Turbo.264 HD hardware is not 

connected.  It will be black, and will point at "on", if 

the Turbo.264 HD hardware is connected

How do I start encoding files?

Press the 

Start

 button at the bottom right corner of 

the Turbo.264 HD window to start encoding.  It will 

take a few seconds to prepare the Turbo.264 HD 

hardware, and then each file will be encoded one at 

a time.

How do I stop encoding files?

Press the 

Stop

 button at the bottom right corner of 

the Turbo.264 HD window to stop all encoding. 

How do I select the encoding format for files?

After you add each file to the Turbo.264 window, you 

can select an unique encoding format for that file.  

The specifics of each encoding format are 

discussed in the next chapter, 

Encoding Formats

.

How do I find out more about the files I’ve added?

Next to each file is a small circular button with a “i” 

inside.  Press that to find out the location, 

resolution, and other aspects of each file

Can I encode more than one file at the same time?

Add multiple files to the Turbo.264 window.  By 

default, each file will use the last encoding format 

you've selected.  You can change each file to use 

an unique format, if you like.  Then, press the 

Start

 

button to begin encoding, and each file will be 

encoded one at a time.

Can I encode from a video DVD?

Turbo.264 HD can accept unencrypted DVD content 

that may be on your hard drive.  Add an 

unencrypted VIDEO_TS folder to the Turbo.264, and 

then Turbo.264 HD will be able to use the video for 

encoding.

Press the “

i

” button next to each DVD video file to 

select the audio track, if more than one track is 

available.

How can I combine multiple clips into one movie?

Multiple clips can be chained together to encode 

one movie. Each clip is a chapter in the resulting 

QuickTime movie. 

There is a switch at the bottom of  the main window 

to create multiple movies or a single movie.  Moving 

the switch to the right will chain all of the clips 

together.

When creating a single movie, the format preset 

popup can be adjusted by the topmost clip only.
