Could we get a speed boost via GPU utilization?

Post by Obioban »

Looks like you can do a call to the video card for h.264 decryption:

and I feel like I remember a feature of Lion (or maybe it was snow leopard?) where they added an API call to the GPU for processing (Open CL maybe?).

Any chance we could get the GPUs steaming in Handbrake? Would be an extra performance boost with no extra hardware required. :D

This has been discussed many times before ( e.g. viewtopic.php?f=26&t=23385&p=106636&hilit=cuda#p106636)

It doesnt look like it will happen any time soon.
