We’re giving away three copies of Turbo.264 HD video Converter by Elgato

Contest is now over. Congratulations to faithful Macenstein readers Rob, Chris, and Kaitlyn.


$50? I think we can do better than that!

Whether you want to admit it or not, we’re living in an HD world folks, and your crappy SD footage just ain’t gonna cut it. It’s time to run out and steal yourself an HD camcorder, download some Torrented HD shows, and rip some Hollywood Blu-Ray discs and then start compressing that sweet crisp footage for your iPhone, iPod, Apple TV and iPad.

What? You can’t? What’s the matter? Don’t you own Turbo.264 HD video Converter by Elgato, the world’s fastest and most versatile piece of video compression software specifically geared towards the iOS lifestyle? Well why not? Perhaps, judging from the fact that you are stealing camcorders and pirating videos, maybe the $50 price tag is holding you back. Well, while we personally think $50 is a steal for this software, we understand times are tough, and that’s why we’ve teamed up with our good friends at Elgato to give 3 lucky readers their very own copy of the hottest compression software on the Mac App store.

    I too have recently DUMPED Directv in favor of my Apple TV, Netflix and OTA for local stuff. Found that we are in a market where this CoolTV is and the kids love it.
