Description:
I want to view my videos on all my display devices. How can I do this?
It’s simple. The Badaboom Media Converter formats video and audio files for avariety of devices using a process called transcoding. In the old days of video, there was broadcast television, VCRs, and that was about it; video came in very few flavors. Withthe proliferation of digital media players came a similar proliferation of video formats, making for widespread incompatibility. Badaboom is the solution to this incompatibility:it takes video files from any source and formats them for a wide variety of devices.
Elemental Technologies and NVIDIA change the way transcoding is done!
Elemental TechnologiesBadaboom Media Converter takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of performing transcoding on the CPU, it harnesses the massively parallel NVIDIA GPUs in todayscomputers to perform the core transcoding operations. By utilizing the GPU, Badaboom transcoding not only runs much faster than CPUbased competitors but leaves the CPU availableto process other tasks. This allow consumers to painlessly convert video between formats, allowing them to view home video content on their portable devices, or Media Centercontent on their Apple TV all in a convenient, intuitive application.
Cool! How do I use Badaboom to convert video?
It’s pretty darn simple. That’s the whole goal: make gettingmedia onto your portable device easy and fast.
1. Boot up the Badaboom Media Converter.
2. Under the "Source" column on the left, select an input video. Thiscan be one of several types:
1. an unencrypted DVD perhaps a family DVD movie you created with Adobe Premiere Elements or Apple iMovie;
2. a VIDEOTS folder from your hard drive.VIDEOTS folders replicate the file structure that DVDs use to store data, and there are many tools available that allow for backing up DVD content onto hard drive in VIDEOTSfolders.
3. a file on your computer (Badaboom currently supports MPEG2 and H.264 input files, with more formats coming soon)
3. Under the "Output" column on theright, select the type of device you want to view your video on. You can scroll through available devices by clicking on the triangles at the bottom of the column. The backgroundof the device you choose will be highlighted in green, and you’ll see your device reflected inthe middle of the interface.
4. Hit the "Start" button at thecenter of the bottom of the screen. You’ll see frames from the selected video start whipping through your screen, as Badaboom harnesses your NVIDIA GPU to convert the video atunprecedented rates. Since the work is being done by your GPU, you’ll still have CPU available for general computing tasks like email, word processing, and surfing the web. Whenthe transcode completes, you’ll have a video formatted for your device ready to go in your My Videos folder.
5. That’s it. There are more custom settings available by hitting the"Advanced" button. But we hope most users will never need to touch them.
