Hi:

I've been using a trial version of Episode (5.3) using the system and workflow noted above. I want to buy the Episode software along with Matrox' CompressHD encoding accelerator card. Both companies literature indicate support. My question is will Episode access the Matrox card BOTH from within Compressor and as a stand alone application. If only through Compressor does this limit my ability to edit presets that come with Episode?

I'd appreciate any other comments regarding the combination of Episode with MXO technology if you feel they might affect my workflow.

Many thanks,

Dick

I hate to cross post, but I have been having problems with this combo. If someone here is able to work with CompressHD within Episode, could you drift over to the Matrox forum and comment on my post there.

Thanks-

There's a bug in Episode 5.3.2 that's specific to CompressHD MAX.
Telestream is aware of it and looking at fixing.
Uninstall 5.3.2 and go back to 5.3.1. You may need to login (free) to download the older versions
