The thumbdrive style device plugs right into your Mac, and quickly installs it’s codecs into QuickTime (which includes any app that uses QuickTime’s encoding). It includes four codecs, iPod (best), iPod (small), PSP, and AppleTV. OK, fine, it doesn’t encode at any user defined specification, but it does convert into the four most common, used, and wanted formats. If you’re not into using QuickTime to convert, Elgato includes their own app for converting videos.
The app can batch convert, gives a video preview of what it’s encoding at the moment, and shows estimated time left and frames per second. Speaking of FPS, the Turbo converted a DivX video of mine to iPod at 48 fps. Not bad at all compared to the 15-25 fps that QuickTime encodes at for me.
