encoding mpg2

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

Yesterday i bought a fx 5900 xt, it works good but i was thinking, would
this card speed up the rendering proces from avi to mpg2?


Because you can capture video with this card andNvidia (they say)will bring
out multimedia software to edit video and record tv, blabla bla, anyway look
at their site.

So who knows the answer or has experience with those things?
