Turbo.264 v1.3 修復了以下的程式錯誤：

• A problem where some iMovie projects lost audio at the end of the clip has been resolved.
  
• A problem where encoded files larger than 2 GB had an incorrect aspect ratio has been fixed.
  
• Freebox HD recordings exported via the Turbo application now have sound.
  
• A problem with WMV files that were truncated or had an incorrect duration after exporting has been resolved.
  
• Turbo now supports .avi files with the WRAW codec.
  
• QuickTime Player Pro no longer displays multiple blank dialog windows when attempting to export without Turbo hardware.

適用於 YouTube 的編碼：

Turbo.264 是個硬體的 H.264 編碼器 (encoder)。它會將系統資源從 CPU 移轉到 Turbo.264。我們大多喜愛 H.264 的畫質 (請參考 H.264 與其他編碼器的比較頁面)，但我們也很清楚 H.264 的編碼挺費時的。

Elgato Turbo.264 可以處理任何 QuickTime 認得的視訊格式，同時包含其他協力廠商提供的編碼器，如 Flip4Mac WMV 元件以及 MPEG Program Stream/System Stream (包含未經加碼的 DVD/HD DVD 內容)。

如果您擁有威力十足的 Mac Pro，Turbo.264 的優勢可能不會那麼顯著。對一般使用者而言，移轉 CPU 的資源可以讓使用者更順暢地運用 Mac 來執行其他工作。
