Hi, just a quick hands up, does any here own cinemacraft encoder SP? i'm looking to buy it, and build a dedicated encoder machine for it- if you own it also, where did u buy it from and how much? i can only find a couple of resellers online selling it for about $1999 US.
You may want to check out a hardware encoder:
The Sonic Solutons SD500 is good. It is a Mitsubishi hardware encoder card. The Japanese version is the EN-20. An importer can probably get it for around $1300-$1400. C-Net Japan
