VideoPier 1.1 and VideoPier HD 1.1 now available

Montpellier, France – November 5th 2008 : Aquafadas is pleased to announce the immediate availability of VideoPier and VideoPier HD v1.1. The VideoPier family of products is aimed at videographers who own MPEG-2 or AVCHD camcorders and who struggle with these video formats on their Mac.

VideoPier and VideoPier HD make it very easy to transfer clips from these camcorders to a central location on their Mac, without requiring any conversion, without any loss in quality. The clips appear grouped by Events in the VideoPier elegant user interface, ready to be viewed, organized and converted to any format.
VideoPier handles equally well data that has already been copied to disk and will let you access all your clips easily. In addition, VideoPier HD lets you capture HDV material directly from tape based HDV camcorders.

VideoPier comes with an extensive set of export functionality, to iMovie 06/08, iPhone, Quicktime and Final Cut (VideoPier HD only).

If you work with HDV, MPEG2 and AVCHD material, VideoPier will make your life a lot easier.

New in VideoPier 1.1 :

- Added support for the Elgato Turbo.264 encoding device. If you are exporting your clips to iPhone, iPod or AppleTV, you can now enjoy dramatically increased performance during encoding thanks to hardware acceleration.
- Added support for a category of camcorders recording their clips in Quicktime format. VideoPier will now let you import, visualize and transcode these files. This new feature makes VideoPier work well with Sanyo camcorders.
- Added a new version of FFMPEG. This version improves playback and performance in the case of AVCHD videos.
- Changed the installation path for FFMPEG. This will require a new download of ffmpeg when you start VideoPier 1.1 for the first time.
- Added support for volume and site licenses.
Numerous minor bug fixes througout the application.
