Hi. I know that
badaboom is not yet there and CUDA-only. On the other hand the sheer numbers of stream processors of ATI's Radeon HD4670 and 4850 made me order two today (at that price, who can resist?) - and then cancel the order.
Why?
The
Radeon HD 48xx series promises "Accelerated Video Transcoding", the 46xx
does not.
And the AVIVO video transcoding app from ATI is
Radeon X1xxx-only.
I wanted to use those two 4670 in crossfire mode to do all that transcoding to h264 that I was too lazy to do old-school, since even though I have a Q6600 transcoding in good quality takes time. Plenty of it.
So could please someone enlighten me on what ATI means when they post "Accelerated Video Transcoding (AVT)"-capabilities of their newer cards - just that someday in the future someone may or may not have written an app that uses the ATI Video transcoding API?
I did google and search the forum, but found no answer.
