It's about time! Finally stream processing is taking off, with so little software harvesting the power of stream processors, CyberLink's PowerDirector is the only tool that supports video encoding via both ATi Stream and CUDA AFAIK. Accoding to the company's news press, the CUDA supported version is already available and a patch will be released for ATi Stream support in early February.

I am so glad to see finally a company has the balls to include solutions from both ATi and nVidia, no more ATi or nVidia exclusive bullshit that leaves end users in the cold. Does anyone has the latest PowerDirector to try CUDA out? I am curious about the performance gain when encoding with stream processor.

ATi Stream supported press
nVidia CUDA supported press
 
or is ATi GPU support only included in press releases?

OK, I got my answer from Cyberlink...


Thank you for contacting CyberLink Technical Support.

In regards to your concern, we regret to inform you that due to ATI driver issue, PowerDirector software do not supports transcoding using the ATI chip. PowerDirector software only supports this for Nvidia,

PowerDirector will support ATI on 2009 Q1.

Right now, we donot have any updates of ATI support. As soon as we get any updates, we will post it on the website. We request you to kindly wisit the website regularly to get the latest updates.
