It will be brilliant for specialist encoder plugins. Though I doubt that the studios will like it. Making pirating videos even easier.

LOL - it only takes 10 minutes now. Faster is good, but 10 minutes is not exactly a deal breaker! I know people who spent over a week encoding, and I heard some film releases took years!

Faster is good... but I'll buy it when it has a design power under 10Watts and costs under £35, because I don't need it :lol:

Yes but a few minutes to encode a bluray disc would be nice. ;)

Sounds a bit specialised. If it can't do general purpose computing as well, then I wouldn't pay extra to have it on a chip.

It would be of interest to me.

I'm currently looking at encoding all my DVDs to stick em on my media box.

Seconds versus 10 minutes per movie would be a welcome boost.

That would probably be a lot faster than the dvd drive. ;)

I rip it to HDD then strip out the extras and re-encode just the movie.

I'd love to find an all-in-one solution that didn't completely butcher the quality or de-sync the audio.

Super C? It's free and lets you do most things IIRC, including adjusting the streams... Converts music too :)

I've not heard of Super C.

I'll look into it, thanks ernie.

I found Super a bit hardcore overkill for what I wanted and much prefer to use Handbrake - but it might not be as powerful.
