Elgato Turbo.264 Video H.264 Encoder - Make Apple TV and iPod Movies Faster

We just purchased the Elgato Turbo.264 - Video H.264 (MP4) Encoder to help making Apple TV and iPod movies a bit easier. Currently we've been using Handbrake to create AVI files (which on our old Elgato 10032011 Eyehome seem to get out of sync less), but recently we downloaded the Connect 360 and think the Apple TV format looks best.

What does the Elgato Turbo.264 - Video H.264 (MP4) Encoder Hardware do? The Turbo.264 is a powerful video encoder in the form of a compact USB 2.0 stick that takes the workload off of your main processor and instead the Turbo.264 does the hardcore encoding. It works with Elgato software included and other Macintosh video applications through Quicktime.

We'll have a full review soon - but so far today we are re-encoding 10 hours of video in only about 7 hours of time using our older Mac Mini. How long would it have taken before without the Elgato Turbo.264 - Video H.264 (MP4) Encoder Hardware? About 3-4 days. Oucher. Long live the H.264!
