News: Badaboom 1.0 uses Nvidia GPUs to transcode video

[news 28]

Nvidia has made lots of noise about its CUDA general-purpose programming interface in recent months, but CUDA-based consumer applications have been hard to come by. A firm called Elemntal Technologies is attempting to change that with Badaboom Media Converter, an easy-to-use tool that harnesses the GPU to convert videos for use on portable devices.

 

Elemental has released version 1.0 of Badaboom to the public, so we got on the phone with Elemental CEO Sam Blackman to learn about the software. Read on to find out what formats Badaboom supports, whether you can use it to transfer DVDs to your iPhone, and what's coming in future releases.
