MainConcept, the MPEG experts, have streamlined the process for efficient, frame-accurate rendering with extraordinary quality. MPEG Pro HD's Smart Rendering only re-renders frames that have been changed, saving you valuable time and preserving the quality of the original MPEG or HDV movie. Add advanced features and new formats, like H.264, AVCHD, AAC or Dolby® Digital and revitalize your workflow with help of MainConcept MPEG Pro HD3 - Plug-In for Adobe Premiere Pro.
