CREATE IPOD VIDEO UP TO 20X FASTER!
Badaboom is now localized in eight languages! Badaboom is a blazingly fast media converter that makes it easy to format video files for a variety of devices, including iPod and PSP, in a process called transcoding. In a practice that used to take several hours, Badaboom converts feature-length movies in a matter of minutes while still maintaining high video quality. By harnessing the power of NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPUs, Badaboom offloads the CPU to allow users to continue browsing the Internet or checking email without decreased system performance, making transcoding high-quality video fast and easy.
Badaboom was designed with four key goals in mind:
- Make it extremely easy for the average consumer
to get media onto their portable devices - Minimize CPU utilization so the PC can still be used
while converting media - Maintain world-class image quality throughout the
transcoding process - Build the fastest media converter available
FEATURES:
- Easy quality adjustment – A simple slider mechanism controls the quality of final image
- Efficiently use all of your PCs resources – Harness the GPU for transcoding while still being able to use the CPU for other tasks
- Auto-open converted files in iTunes – After transcoding is complete files can automatically be moved into iTunes for simple syncing
- DVD title selection and preview – Only transcode the titles you want
- Automatic up and down scaling – Input videos are scaled up or down to match your current output device settings
NEW FOR VERSION 1.2:
- Badaboom now supports eight languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
OTHER RECENT FEATURES:
- Support for additional input file formats and containers: DivX, Xvid, MPEG-1, MPEG-4, VC-1, WMV, AVI, MKV, MOV.
- Multi-GPU Support: Effectively doubles the transcode performance of Badaboom by letting the users run two or more Badaboom applications to run on separate video clips simultaneously.
- New output profiles: YouTube, Blackberry Bold and Microsoft Zune have been added.
- H.264 Main profile output: Provides even higher quality output than version 1.0, especially useful when outputting at resolutions higher than 480p.
- 1920x1080 (1080p) output: Provides great video quality when combined with Main profile.
- FRAPS support: This allows game enthusiasts to transcode their recorded game play for purposes of uploading to YouTube™, for example.
- 960x540 resolution: This is the ideal resolution for 30 fps videos transcoded to play on Apple TV.
INPUTS
Badaboom supports file inputs from digital camcorders in such formats as AVCHD and HDV as well as VIDEO_TS folders, non-protected DVD discs, or video recorded from your television. These all use well-known compression algorithms (known colloquially as “codecs”) known as MPEG-2 and H.264. Over time Badaboom will add support for additional codecs.
OUTPUTS
The output files from Badaboom are designed to provide audio and video in a format that most portable media devices can accept. The H.264 baseline codec is coupled with 2 channels of stereo audio at bit rates and resolutions pre-optimized for your selected device. Of course it is always possible for the user to tune the pre-sets to their personal preference and a “Custom Media Center” output is provided to allow full customization of the settings.
