TARGA system
by Danny on Jul 21, 2005 at 4:21:47 pm

Hi-
We're finishing up a series of shows that are going to DVD. There are 8 half-hour programs that will be distributed over 4 DVDs. I'm looking for a better compression than Compressor or DSP 3 can offer and found a company in town that uses a Targa Hardware/Software system for compression. They claim that it makes nice pictures but I've never heard of the system so I was just looking for some feedback on its quality. Has anyone worked with this system? Does it work well?
Thanks,
-Danny

Never used it myself, but here is the pdf for the product I imagine they are talking about:

Whether or not you want to explore this route, there are some software-based encoders out there, that, when paired with a fast machine and fast storage system, offer very near real-time encoding these days, at the same high quality that you can expect from a hardware-based solution. Of course, this only refers to SD encoding right now.
