arrow Overview
Engineered with hardware-based MPEG encoding technology, and designed with a PCI Express form factor, FireCoder generates MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 files at blistering, faster-than-realtime speeds.

FireCoder is as versatile, as it is speedy! Use FireCoder to:

  • Capture video from DV and HDV cameras
  • Edit MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, including native HDV
  • Author and burn DVDs
  • Convert video into files compatible with Apple iPod® and Sony PSP™
  • Export video projects from Grass Valley EDIUS and Adobe® Premiere® Pro 1.x NLE software


The hardware-software combination featured in the FireCoder package provides a variety of ways to help you reduce the time it takes you to prepare your video.

Even with today's high-speed PCs, the time you spend waiting for your video projects to encode to MPEG format for DVDs or portable media devices can still stretch out to unbearable lengths. Instead of relying solely on the PC's CPU (as do software-only video editing, DVD authoring and format conversion products), the onboard MPEG encoding chip engineered into the FireCoder PCI Express board handles the tough encoding tasks.

The advantages of FireCoder are two-fold:

  • Speed - Create MPEG-2 files for DVDs and MPEG-4 files for portable media devices much faster - often more than twice the speed of realtime in most cases
  • Productivity - Free up your CPU for other work, while your video is being encoded.
  • MPEG-2/MPEG-4 encoding hardware technology, incorporated into a high-speed PCI Express design
  • Faster-than-realtime MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video file creation
  • IEEE 1394 OHCI FireWire input for DV and HDV capture
  • Cut, stitch and trim MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and HDV video
  • Video format conversion software, supporting Windows Media®, DivX®, DV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and more
  • DVD authoring, "Watch" folder and batch conversion support
  • Timeline export plug-ins for Grass Valley EDIUS, Adobe Premiere 6.5 and Adobe Premiere Pro 1.x
