Badabooms GPU-accelerated video encoding promises a lot, not yet ready for prime time
Digital videographers know the pain and drudgery of
rendering video. Even on the fastest processors, rendering high
definition H.264 footage can take minutes, even hours, but an upcoming
product by Elemental Technologies promises to cut that time
dramatically. Using the stream processing power of Nvidias
CUDA-enabled graphics cards, the Badaboom media converter will
transcode video faster than real-time. But theres a lot more work
that needs to be done because in a demonstration at the NVISION
conference in San Jose, Badaboom and the upcoming…
