So how does it measure up?

Being an open source codec, H.264 has spawned a number of versions, and x264 has emerged a definite winner among the contenders. While DV Kitchen also encodes to flash (.flv), windows media video (.wmv) and 75 other formats, the makers are appropriately like to show off the great x264 sample clips they make available for download on their website.

Next, DV Kitchen is definitely the only software on the market that has tools to help you determine the perfect encoding settings for your video. The superbly designed SampleLab allows you to easily compare encoding receipes and quickly zero in on the ideal encoding settings for each video you encode. It's an exceptionally helpful tool you will find yourself employing each time you encode video . . . and you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. Likwise, the Bitrate Budget Calculator will give you a bitrate in kilobits per second to keep your videos under to save bandwidth fees and avoid having your visitors wait unnecessarily.

But the encoding resources only part of the story . . . DV Kitchen will also upload your videos and audio to your server automatically when it has finished encoding. You are able to keep as many remote directories as you want and select them with one click. There's even an integrated File transfer protocol browser that makes choosing directories, creating folders and removing files on your remote server as easy as on your local hard drive.

DV Kitchen also has a media publishing room that generates html code for embedding your videos in a web site, discussion board or blog. It'll even create complete website pages together with titles, captions and poster frames with either Quicktime or flash players.

DV Kitchen also includes TimeFreezer, the world's best enviroment for exporting premium still frames from videos. With TimeFreezer, you are able to export stills - deinterlaced if needed - then upload them and crank out html tags in just a few seconds.
