Episode 4.3.1
Telestream -- the producer of Flip4Mac -- has announced Episode 4.3.1, a new version of the tool for multiformat media encoding. This release sports tight integration with Compressor 3, the encoding tool included with Final Cut Studio 2. Final Cut users, with the aid of Episode, can access files encoded with Flash 8, Windows Media, VC-1 and mobile formats, as well as broadcast specific formats such as GXF, IMX, MPEG-2 4:2:2 and high profile H.264. Episode 4.3.1 also provides Dashboard Widgets, allowing users to drag and drop files onto the configurable widget to encode media at the desktop or on the server. Episode desktop media encoding applications are priced from $400. Episode Engine server applications are priced from $3,500. The software requires an Intel based Mac or Apple PowerPC G4 or G5, Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, QuickTime 7 or higher, 1 GB RAM, and 20 GB of hard drive space.
