Graphics Cards up for Non-gaming Tasks
Posted on Jun 26, 08 10:39 PM PDT
CyberLink has taken a good hard look at GPU transcoding capabilities last summer, and they have also been hard at work, adding transcoding to its own software stack. Fast forward one year and you will find the CyberLink PowerDirector 7 Ultra to be one muscular piece of software, shipping with GPU-accelerated video transcoding. In a tech demonstration (I am normally very reserved with the claims of such demonstrations since the results tend to be skewed) using the recently launched ATI Radeon 4850 512 MB, this potent combination managed to convert a quartet of HD MPEG-2 movies into MPEG-4 simultaneously - in real time, within half an hour. Why not fork out $120 to give the CyberLink PowerDirector 7 Ultra a run out?
Update: Apparently Cyberlink's customer service pointed out that GPU transcoding won't be available until PowerDirector 8 is released.
