Initial reviews of Badaboom™ Media Coverter version 1.1 show just how far the application has come. As Ryan Shrout at PC Perspectives states, Badaboom "is a solid upgrade to an application that is only a few months old." In addition to AnandTech's recent review of version 1.0 and 1.1 preview, the following reviews cover version 1.1's enhanced features and champion the new version over other products. Check them out for yourself:

The Badaboom™ Media Converter version 1.1 is available right this moment for download, giving you so many more options for video conversion.

To download an update or buy Badaboom, simply go to Store where you can get a free trial or purchase products. If you already have Badaboom 1.0, installing the 1.1 trial it will automatically replace 1.0 and become activated seamlessly.  If you do not own an activated version of Badaboom 1.0, you will receive a set of 30 trial transcodes.

Within hours, Badaboom Media Converter version 1.1 will available at your fingertips. We've told you about some of the new features to expect, but how do they compare performance-wise? Well, you don't have to just take our word for it. Yesterday, AnandTech published a review of Badaboom 1.1 and according to them:

"No matter how you slice it though, Elemental has a much better product than AMD is offering with the Avivo video converter."   - AnandTech

That's right - you heard it here first. It's been a little over a month since Badaboom™ Media Converter 1.0 came out and version 1.1 is waiting in the wings with some awesome new features that will be available to the public in mid-December. Here's your sneak preview of  the new features in version 1.1 which give Badaboom™ users added versatility and enhanced performance through the following updates:

Well, the initial reviews are out and we are excited that they have been very positive thus far.  Take a look and what reviewers are saying:

ITS HERE!

After many long hours of work we have created what we believe is a great product for converting videos to H.264 for your portable devices. 

Badaboom's high quality baseline H.264 encoder and 2 channel stereo output are specifically targeted at portable media devices such as Apple iPod devices and the Sony Playstation Portable.

Badaboom includes the ability for users to create their own output files.  We are including a couple of examples of what is possible with a YouTube output and a Zune output example file.  Check it out in the support forums.

At the moment creating your own output file means opening a text editor but in the future we hope to create a WYSWYG graphic editor to make it even simpler.  In the mean time you can always edit the settings for any of the devices to match the device that you own.

Sorry for the long delay between posts.  As one beta ends another begins.

We have received some great feedback on Badaboom since the beta was launched earlier this month. Please note that this is a beta client and does not represent the shipping product in stability, features, or performance.
