Seamless integration

By elegantly integrating an array of essential features from video encoding, image exporting, FTP uploading and remote server features, to still frame export, tag generation and video analysis tools, all in the same efficient, streamlined user interface, dvcCast! makes your content publishing workflow almost effortless.

The days of launching, exporting and importing between several overly-complicated applications is now a nightmare of the past.

Spectacular quality video encoding

dvcCast! encodes video to over 75 formats, featuring, of course, the most important codec for video podcasts and web video: H.264.

dvcCast! encodes beautiful multi-pass H.264 video with full control over hundreds of parameters, in sizes from tiny cell phone screens through iPod, iPhone and AppleTV, to full 1920×1080 HD.

And we think you’ll encode higher quality video with dvcCast! than any other software on the market, thanks to SampleLab™, the Bitrate Budget Calculator, and our unique techniques and methods, honed over a decade of video compression expertise.

Bitrate Budget Calculator

Don’t make your viewers wait. The Bitrate Budget Calculator will tell you, for your particular situation, what bitrate value to stay under so your masterpiece starts playing just a moment after your viewers click on the web.

And helps you keep your podcast downloads as light as possible on your monthly bandwidth limit.

Integrated FTP uploading

dvcCast! includes integrated automatic FTP uploading of your encoded video, images and audio to your web server, including a sweet remote folder browser, and the ability to easily create new remote folders and even delete remote files.

SampleLab™

SampleLab™ is a brilliantly-designed, easy-to-use software environment that helps you rapidly zero in on the perfect encoding settings for your movie.

You’ll never encode in the dark again.

TimeFreezer™

TimeFreezer™ is an environment for choosing, encoding, optionally deinterlacing, and uploading still frames that will revolutionize the way you think about still photography.

Batch image resizing, encoding and uploading

dvcCast! shines when it comes to web video, but you will always need quality still images on your website, which dvcCast! will handle with ease, whether they were taken with a digital still camera, grabbed from TimeFreezer™, or created in Photoshop or any other image creation application. Just drag, drop, click, and walk away.

dvcCast! will resize the images to your specs, rotating photos correctly from the EXIF metadata, encode them to jpeg (or several other formats), upload them to your web server in the folder of your choice, and if that weren’t enough, will even write image embed tags for you in HTML or forum post formats.

dvcCast! handles still images so easily it actually makes photo sharing sites like Flickr, Photobucket, Picasa and Facebook seem clumsy by comparison.

An audio podcasters dream

With all the emphasis on video and images, remember that dvcCast! is also an audio podcaster’s dream come true. Just drag your audio files into the Media List, choose an encoding preset and an FTP destination, and click “GO”.

Your own radio station is only a few clicks away.
