NVidia has just released version 1.1.1 of their “Babadoom” Media Converter. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a GPGPU (CUDA) based Media Transcoder that makes use of an installed video card from NVidia for huge improvements to encoding speed.
Version 1.1.1 of Elemental Technologies’ Badaboom® Media Converter has been released! Badaboom® takes a fundamentally different approach to video format conversion from other solutions. Instead of performing format conversion on the CPU, it harnesses massively parallel GPUs from NVIDIA. By using the power of CUDA-enabled GPUs, the time required for video conversion is reduced. As an added bonus, you can still use the CPU for normal everyday tasks such as email and internet browsing. Anyone can now painlessly convert video from a wide array of formats to mp4 to play on your portable media device, leaving more time to enjoy the video and eliminating the frustration of video conversion delays. Not only is the Badaboom® Media Converter fast and easy to use, it provides high quality output (up to 1080p!) to keep your videos looking crisp and clear.
It’s available from the NVidia Store for 20.40GBP (approx $30).
