* This new version of ProCoder features a number of enhancements for 
  today's multi-format production needs: 
   - More Mobile Video Format Support -- With the addition of H.264 
     encoding and decoding, ProCoder 3 is ready to convert and produce for 
     popular mobile video devices such as the Apple iPod and Sony PSP. 
   - Added Assistance for EDIUS Production Workflows -- The Canopus HQ 
     codec is now included with ProCoder 3, allowing standalone encoding 
     and decoding of Canopus HQ files without requiring Grass Valley EDIUS 
     software installed on the machine with ProCoder. 
   - Support for the AVCHD Camcorder Format -- AVCHD decoding capability 
     allows the conversion of video footage from the new generation of 
     compact camcorders for editing, streaming and DVD production. 
   - Encoding Speed Enhancements for Multi-core Systems -- Grid Encoding 
     support for MPEG-2 (Transport Stream) provides even greater encoding 
     speed on modern multi-core and multi-CPU computer systems. This 
     feature is automatically engaged when you choose the 'Preview DVD 
     Target' or 'HDV Target' formats for encoding. 
   - Dolby Digital Audio Support -- Common in DVD production as well as 
     retransmission, ProCoder 3 supports Dolby Digital audio encoding for 
     enhanced audio quality in less space. ProCoder 3 also allows you to 
     add, swap, and remove individual channels of audio within the target 
     format with the inbuilt channel mixer.
