Video Cards for Conversion

Hello,

I'm looking to convert video files to dvd. My computer has a Radeon 6970x2 crossfire setup. I have read that there are some video converters/encoders that make use of the video cards to get some really fast conversions/encoding. Does VSO include that or is it something that might be added into the future? Also does anyone know of a program like VSO convertxtodvd that uses video cards for processing? I'm just trying to find a way to harness that video card power other then gaming.

Hello Kahless,

It's true that VSO's DVD Converter utilizes hardware for acceleration. Unfortunately, it doesn't support Radeon (correct me if I'm wrong), but support NVIDIA's CUDA. If you have spare cash, you can always pick up one. I recommend the GT 430 or stronger.
