Battle of GPU Transcoders: ATI Avivo Converter and NVIDIA Badaboom

**MIG-31** · Dec 5, 2008, 08:21 PM

I have to admit I have been less excited about GPU-based video transcoding than I should have been. For me, moving content between a DVD collection and your phone was never a top priority as I just didn't use media in that fashion. With the iPhone, a lot of that changed and being able to put some movies or videos on your mobile device for a couple hour flight for some meetings became a much more interesting prospect. Apparently the same is true for the engineers and marketeers at NVIDIA and AMD.
