So yesterday I realized that doing software transcoding (DIVX AVI -> MPEG-2) is teh suck at more than 6 hrs for 22 min of content. I did some research and found out what I need is a hardware MPEG-2 encoder (i.e. hardware transcoder). Most of these were made about 5 yrs ago and cost $600-2000. So funk dat.
Then I was thinking, the ATI AIW (all-in-wonder) series of cards must have some kind of hardware transcoder in them. In fact I found reference to that fact in my research. So my question is: can anyone confirm if the AIW has a hardware transcoder and which model should I buy if I want to transcode DIVX AVI -> MPEG-2 in real time?
