Avivo video converter
Released December, 2008
The Pros:Free - similar products for Nvidia based cards costs money. Can drastically cut down on transcoding time. Makes getting video on your mobile devices a lot less of a hassle.
The Cons:Not as complex as Badaboom 1.1 (Nvidia offering). Requires the latest generation of ATI graphics cards.
The Avivo video converter is a free piece of software that will demonstrate the GPU computation abilities of the AMD/ATI platform. Supported on all AMD/ATI 4000 series graphics cards and newer, the Avivo video converter will be included with the December release of AMD/ATI's graphics drivers (8.12).
Featuring GPGPU-accelerated transcoding of MPEG-2 and 1080p H.264 in a variety of quality/resolutions, early benchmarks illustrate a dramatic reduction in time required for transcoding - from 3 hours with a Phenom CPU to just 12 minutes with a Radeon HD 4850.

Yale:
#avivo_video_converter I would be slightly more stoked if I had a device I could transcode for... but it is still very cool to see the beginnings of GPGPU accelerated programs.
