Canopus ProCoder ii
For the final couple of years, Canopus'south ProCoder has been the only genuine contender for Cleaner's crown as an all-in-one batch-encoding tool. Oddly, Discreet has seemed reluctant to put any real effort into Cleaner'southward marketing or maintenance, leaving the way free for the throne to be seized. Conclusion
But, Canopus hasn't helped itself by keeping ProCoder's price tag unrealistically loftier - though, of course, its £600 ticket is the same as Cleaner'due south, putting both far out of reach of mainstream DV enthusiasts. Besides, while early complaints almost ProCoder's lack of multi-bit-rate encoding for streaming media were quickly and finer addressed, we've been sceptical about the program'due south approach to batch processing, which forced all source files to be assigned the same encoding template.
Now though, with the launch of V2, Canopus has slashed the price of ProCoder by over £250, bringing it down to a much more reasonable £350. It's still non cheap, but we're certain that the new toll will attract many more freelancers and enthusiasts than before. This movement follows Canopus'due south launch before in the year of ProCoder Express. Even though Express sells for just £50, it provides many of the same tools as ProCoder (including its fantabulous PAL/NTSC conversion capabilities) though it does lack batch processing and effects filters. Conspicuously, at that place's been a change of mindset inside Canopus - 1 that should allow it to grab a far bigger share in the prosumer sector and create a whole new market at the budget end.
ProCoder 2'southward encoding speeds gave us no cause to grumble, though it should exist said that our tests were carried out on a far more than powerful organisation than we'd used with V1. We were also impressed with the encoding quality, which showed noticeable comeback across the board. Added to this, the ability to queue jobs is a huge step forward, making ProCoder a far more versatile product.
Version 2 is undoubtedly one of the best media conversion tools bachelor, and the hefty price cut that accompanies it places the program well alee of Discreet's Cleaner. However, the absenteeism of Dolby AC-3 encoding is a serious shortcoming that needs to be addressed. The lower toll may not produce the dramatic upsurge in sales that nosotros would normally expect, since so much of the program's functionality is bachelor for only £50 with the magician-based ProCoder Limited. Only Express lacks batch processing features and Mastering Quality MPEG encoding, so we regard ProCoder 2 as a must-have program for many professional freelancers and DVD authors, even if abode users and budget enthusiasts are content to work with the lite version.
