rhozet carbon coder

Miguel Lombana · July 11th, 2007, 09:05 PM

I was on another board and someone recommended Carbon Coder as an excellent transcoding program, when I went to the site it looked (from the docs) like this was a copy of Procoder, does anyone know anything about this program? I just looked on the Canopus (Grass Valley) site and they have announced version 3 of Procoder so what am I missing here? For 5 grand this is a really expensive knock off or is this a scam?

Rhozet was a spin off from Canopus a few years ago. The people there wrote the original ProCoder when employed by Canopus and still do so for Canopus/Grass Valley. Carbon Coder adds many other features. Last time I looked they still shared the same address.

Procoder 3.0 is available. I believeI saw it on Newegg.com for about $415. Has anyone used it yet? If so, how does it do with Quicktime 7? I know that Procoder 1.0 locks up with Quicktime 7, after about 20 minutes on encoding.

Carbon Coder is written by the same company that creates Procoder. It is a break off company from Canopus.

It looks alot like Procoder but it has more features and has a hefty price tag to go along with it :)
