Encoding is so sloooow. How do I make it faster?
Get yourself an Elgato Turbo.264 hardware encoder and save lots and lots of time. It's fully integrated in RoadMovie. The Apple TV, iPhone, iPod and PSP Presets will utilize the Turbo.264 out of the box.
Encoding with the Turbo.264 is slower than I expected. Why?
Make sure you connect the Turbo.264 to an USB-2 port. It doesn’t work with an old USB-1 port or hub.
RoadMovie doesn’t seem to recognize my original Turbo.264 dongle anymore. How can I fix this?
Download and install the latest Turbo.264 application for your turbo. Start the Turbo.264 app to install the components. Just to be sure, Run Disk Utility and Repair Permissions. Reboot! It should be working as expected now...
I have trouble with .mkv files and the Turbo.264 HD. Is there a fix?
Update to the latest version of the Turbo.264 HD component by downloading and starting the Turbo.264 HD application.
When I try to re-encode a movie I get the error, “The movie contains an incorrect time value”. Why?
The movie may be corrupted! It's actually quite easy to verify that the movie is not corrupted in any way. Open the movie in QuickTime Player and just Save as. If you can re-save the movie, it's ok. If not, it's corrupted, at least in the QuickTime universe.

How do I transfer movies to my Sony PSP?
Make sure you have the latest PSP firmware. Mount your PSP memory stick using USB or a memory stick reader. Make sure you have a folder named VIDEO at the root level of the memory stick. If not, you need to format your memory stick. Export your movie using the PSP preset and save it to the VIDEO folder on the memory stick. Done! You can also create a Destination that points directly to the VIDEO folder on the PSP so you don't even have to move them in there manually.

The subtitles are too small. How can I make them larger?
RoadMovie has 4 subtitle sizes to choose from, small, medium, large and xtra large. The actual size is calculated based on the height of the movie. In medium size for example, the font size is 5 percent of the movie height. You can also make the subtitles bigger by adopting the movie aspect ratio to the display you're going to show the movie on. The new ipod nano for example has a screen resolution of 320x240 pixels, which is an aspect ratio of 4:3. To better use that screen real estate you can force the aspect ratio to 4:3 before rendering the subtitles.
