In this review, we put the Instant Video To Go - the first USB H.264 external encoder - through a series of tests, including a video conversion of a 30min VOB from MPEG-2 to iPod-friendly AVC format in 640x480 at highest allowable bitrate at 1.5Mbps. The result was nothing short of breathtaking. Our 3-year old Celeron 2.2Ghz was able to finish the encoding almost in real-time. Without the ADS USB encoder, Videora could only accomplish the same task in 4 hours. However, after we repeated the same test on a Intel Duo Core 1.83Ghz, Videora was able to make use of the extra core, and was able to match the speed that of the Video To Go.
