Posted on May 17, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

ADS calls this the first H.264 hardware accelerator, and has named this sprinter as InstantVideo To Go. This device is a godsend for iPod and PSP lovers as it massively speeds up the encoding procedure to about 20 times. To make a comparison any software takes 5 hours to convert a 100-minute video from VOB to 320×240 H.264 video. But this device speeds up the procedure so you complete the same task in just 20 minutes. The device is priced at a low $79.99 and is obviously a must buy for all iPod and PSP lovers.
