Nvidia's Cuda gets on a video-editing roll
NEXT IN LINE to give kudos to Cuda, digital video and audio software firm, Cyberlink, has announced it's working with Nvidia to make faster HD video editing software available, by using the GPU.
Cyberlink says that by making use of Nvidia’s Cuda technology, it can now provide much speedier video rendering performance and let users mess around with all kinds of visual video effects, including Gaussian radial blur and pen ink.
Alice H. Chang, CyberLink’s CEO, gushed “We are very pleased with the accelerated performance we're achieving using Nvidia's Cuda”.
This latest announcement comes just days after Adobe announced its new version of Creative Suite 4 would be supported and accelerated natively on a GPU, and Nvidia’s announcement of a strategic partnership with another video software application firm, Motion DSP, in which it has also bought a stake.
“Adding advanced video effects that simplify and enhance the creative experience requires a tremendous amount of raw processing power” noted Michael Steele, Nvidia’s General Manager of Visual Consumer Solutions.
What we want to know is if Nvidia is using the same swindle its using with Adobe’s Premiere Pro, with the acceleration working only on Quadro graphics cards and not on regular, firmware un-altered, Geforce GPUs, which, surprise, surprise, cost less. µ

Is that going to be on the next GPU that won't apparently fail, the articles by charlie have the right to be heard and I do ingore the fanboism in them prints comments.

But I have been using nVidia cards since my 1st build with a GF440MX all the way upto my current 6600GT thats in my 3800x2 939 rig. My brother has a 8400GS as well as my friend another 1 owns a 7600GT and all work fine oh and my games shop owner mate owns a 8800GTX and thats fine.

Fanboys a side it could well of happens to a lot but because it's never happend to them they dont like the slaggin off.
Badaboom has very poor quality, no any blocking, and compressing H264 video streams for iphone to 2.6MB/s is not really compressing. Those are nice paid tech demos but non of the legacy of video codec is used, you still can't play DivX 3.0/4.0/5.0 or Windows Media 3 or 4, neither 6 ...
In the video software industry, if you can't do legacy code, and play back my last year video, or transcode it to new compression by yourself, you do not help consumers, you just create more incompatibility for the end users ...
It's interesting since ATI always refers to cyberlink when they talk about GPU accelerated programs, like their powerproducer which supposedly is superfast by using ATI GPU's (but in practise has all kinds of excuses to not have all that great speed, like it 'only working on uncompressed video' and 'soon in the next version' stories)
I guess now even their partners are losing faith in ATI ever solidly supporting such things and are moving to nvidia.
When was the last time you saw Gaussian radial blur and pen ink effects being used in a professional video production? TV program? Hollywood movie, perhaps?

Never, that's when. Professional film and video editors hardly ever use effects other than straight cuts or simple fades. That's because they rely on more sophisticated transitions, like cutting from one camera angle to another facing in the opposite direction, or from an image of one object to one of a related object in a completely different scene, that kind of thing. These depend on the content of what you're shooting, not any fancy computer effects processing.
Remember Cyberlink offered GPU accelerated HD encoding in Power Producer with the HD4800 series already, and Alice Chang said in the summer: "CyberLink is happy to work with AMD to offer industry-leading applications for HD video playback and video transcoding, with both PowerDVD and PowerDirector optimized for the latest ATI Radeon HD 4800 Graphics Series,".

Now if Adobe would become IHV agnostic (and not play the The Way It's Meant To Be Paid program) then we could all benefit from the untapped power of our GPUs.
Although Cyberlink is working with Both ATI & Nvidia for accelerating HD playback & transcode (for sometime now..) This is Cuda accelerated ..expect much faster speed (than normal accerlation).
Yes Badaboom is not that G8t now.. but then its at any early stage &…. poor quality, no any blocking etc.. These all depends on the algorithm that app uses. Cyberlink has pretty decent Algo..So eagerly waiting for cuda accelerated cyberlink app.
