It really is quite impressive (the performance, not necessarily the application which seems to have stopped being developed).  Managed to transcode a 2 and half hour movie in about 22 minutes using an X1900.<br><br>The app is called AvivoXCODE and seems to still be available here (the post also seems to allude to this working on ANY ATI card but I'm pretty sure it needs to be one with the AVIVO technology built in.)<br><br><a href="http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=33838764" rel="nofollow">http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=33838764</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ShabbosRoller]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 21st 2006 3:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ATI to announce "Stream Computing" on September 29]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/21/ati-to-announce-stream-computing-on-september-29/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/21/ati-to-announce-stream-computing-on-september-29/</guid><description><![CDATA[As far as I know, AvivoXCODE doesn't use your graphics card at all. It's just fast because Ati ist either very good at multimedia-coding or because Ati chose to disable some quality-improving features of the codec. I guess it's a little of both :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[pableu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 21st 2006 4:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ATI to announce "Stream Computing" on September 29]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/21/ati-to-announce-stream-computing-on-september-29/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/21/ati-to-announce-stream-computing-on-september-29/</guid><description><![CDATA[You have an source for that?
