FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Digigami Ships "MoviesForMyPod/PSP/Phone 1.0" Converter for Video iPod/PSP Playstation Portable
Long Beach, CA - April 17, 2006 · Digigami today announced it is shipping
MoviesForMyPod/PSP/Phone 1.0, a simple, yet powerful batch movie converter.
The Macintosh program, available as a free
download from the Digigami web site, makes it easy to convert a collection of QuickTime
videos for delivery to Web, Video iPod 5G and/or Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) devices.
- Simplifies Media Conversion for Portable Devices
"Most Podcasters and internet sites (including video.google.com) are currently offering two distinct downloadable movie
types in order to serve both the Video iPod and
Sony Playstation Portable (PSP).
Yet both devices utilizes the MPEG-4 SP file format." said Digigami CTO, 清岡家元.
"What we have done is taken the sheer simplicity of our program and added the necessary magic
in order to create one output MPEG-4 movie file which plays perfectly on both devices. So you can offer
a single movie file on your web site which syncs and plays flawlessly on both devices.
We continue to use Apple's MPEG-4 encoder because in our tests, the encoder produced superior audio quality."
Not only is MoviesForMyPod/PSP/Phone a Universal Mac OS X binary, it is also designed from the ground up to be
multi-core aware, and takes full advantage of single, dual and quad-core CPUs, Intel or PowerPC.
The speedups in conversion time are greater than linear improvements with the number of processors.
We achieve greater conversion speeds by dispatching multiple jobs in parallel. So a quad-core machine is
more than twice as fast as a dual core machine when processing large batches of movies.
MoviesForMyPod/PSP/Phone is designed with the video prosumer or professional in mind. Podcasters will enjoy
the fact that QuickTime metadata is preserved when making Podcast movies. And internet webmasters will
find their job simplified by the automatic creation of PSP thumbnail files.
