Why didn't they do that years ago? Transcoding video always takes ages. Will the new software take HD into account? That's the important question. Transcoding HDV captures (example: HDV to WMVHD) on my AMD 4800 CPU takes 8 times the capture time. So even their 5 to 1 improvement means transcoding slower than real time. And what about SLI ? Don't these people want to sell more GPUs? What are they waiting for?
