Can't wait to see how this will handle WMV-HD...

It's about damn time, although I suspect that Q3 is going to mean late September for Cyberlink.

wait so its not working yet? i just got the software how do i know if its working right? doing an ipod movie encoding says about 30 mins is that normal?

 

[ViRGE]

Define "working". It's transcoding things, it's just not using GPU acceleration.

 

[tvdang7]

yes its using the cpu to and not the gpu. i just noticed in the techpowerup forums they said it needs to be starting with a lossless format no idea what that means.

Heh knowing Cyberlink this means accelerated encoding without sound for free.....$100+ for sound functionality.
