I know this isn't the place for it but since we are all so CUDA crazy over here I figured I would post it. There is a CUDA enabled video transcoder. I transcode and encode a lot of video so I am stoked at least. Free demo here: http://nzone.download.nvidia.com/nod...aboom_v0.9.exe. Info here: http://www.badaboomit.com. I am going to try it out tonight.
Layman's terms? Basically, what's a video transcoder? I'm guessing it converts it from one format to another or am I totally wrong? Either way, its much faster than a cpu driven program?
Yeah, video converter. Think, you download avi and want it on your Zune which doesn't convert avi. Spend an hour using your awesome $1000 Core 2 or spend less than 10 mins using your $99 video card? Easy answer.
*sigh* You know I finished converting loads of DVD's today. Took ages. And you post this now? lol :)
EDIT: Trying now. I'm not overly impressed TBH. It takes ~90 for a ~100min DVD. Thats not better than my CPU. AT all. And its restricted to Apple crap, Xbox and otehr PS3, ipod type crap formats lol
EDIT2: 8800 GTX, 4Ghz E8500 etc
EDIT3: Ya this blows. Hard. GPU temp only 73C. Had expected more. Its normally 83-85C Folding. Not properly optimized. And it uses 15% of my E8500 CPU (30% of single core)
Mak2000, let us know, please!
I do this alot, I just never use technical terms. I always say convert, not transcode, thats why, my n00bness.
This is exciting. I convert a LOT of files and this will save me a ton of time. I need to mention this to my friend who's ordering a quad (i'll force him to fold for us!) and he wants a good graphics card. That might sell him on an nvidia, then I can get him to fold w/ it.
^^^ eh. Have you seen my screenshot? I can get better speed with TMPGenc 4. And transcode to a wide range of formats. Maybe with diff cards it might work better. G92 etc?
Pictures were loading slow (probably uploading a wu), so i didn't bother to look! Sorry.
Nevermind, I won't be downloading that. Thanks for testing it! :up:
Okay you lucky bastard. I am loading 177.83 drivers now and then I will transcode something. I transcoded this file previously to WMV and Zune coule read it and couldn't convert it. It took about 70 mins. We will see what 660/ 1566/1050 8800GTX, I had to lower shaders because of errors, I guess it can't handle the 1650 it used to, can do against a 2.975Ghz Core 2. I guess that will give you an easy catch up.Quote:

DId you give it a whirl MaK2000? Maybe we should get a standard size file and a set format to convert to. Although i have previously slammed it, i'd liketo see what it could do with a GT and others.
Want to use it as a benchmark? Ok I'll give it a shot when I'm done with the current wu :)
Still have allot to do, looks like I won't be making my appointments today ( second day in a row )
Edit: and looks like with nvapi, I got nvidia coverd..
Well anybody besides me got any results?
Sorry I missed my wu being done, didn't run oneunit. Will do after the current one :)
We should select a standard video file and video output format to compare various cards.
I think I have a video uploaded @ RapidShare ( actually TrafficShare, which is full rapidshare premium speed and no wait time for everyone ) which we can use.
Or pick another video.
Let me know, I can capture a video and upload it to various FTPs and sites for you to download and "bench" with it.
Thats a good idea, I'm in :up:
Hopes it uses shaders, seems I'm pretty lucky with those :D
Do it! I was going to just search for one... and link it. Somehting like a 30min vid. Keep the formats/bit rate the same and see what happens.Quote:

30 minutes video - http://rapidshare.com/users/Q5MN5U [ click on the folder named "February" and download the 4 parts, unrar it and have fun ]
Traffic-Share download: No speed limits, no waiting, no verification :banana::banana::banana::banana:e :p:
:poke: how do you mean? It still has waiting for me ( I never use rapidshare might be doing something wrong )
Also my connection is fine to handle single large files thank you :p
Let me check it out, I might have 'un-traffic-shared them' :D
Alternative link coming in a min ( single-file )
Edit:
Single file link: http://www.benchzone.com/Downloads/V...ruary_2008.wmv ( right click and save as )
Edit:
Updated the RapidShare links to Traffic-Share, now you can enjoy full premium speed, no wait time, no verification, etc :)
Big file. *sigh*.
Yup with inernational hub in there I'm looking at 15 min's... rapidshare is done in 1. Will need to join them still :)
Edit: isn't this to big to test transcoding? Main intrest of my gpu in crunching, don't like to spend an hours doing something else atm and I just have an 9600gt :rofl:
I'm not at my place at the moment, and I don't have the necessary upload speed to upload the single file to rapidshare :(
Remote-uploads might work, don't remember if it works for files over 100MB... guess we'll find out in a min or two :D
Well I'm goign to go for the 10min one. Thats long enough to tell whats what.
Actually the files are RAR parts, so you can't download only 1 of them and use the partial video :p:
On the other side, if a smaller video size is ok, I have some more on my server ( which can be mirrored on RapidShare Traffic-Share instantly ).
Let me check the durations first.
So what's the setup? I dl the file and the badoboom converter ( the fith element... BIG BIG BADABOOM ... anyone know what her name was?? she is hot! )
Need to know project settings ect, never used this obviously.
Edit: can take just one part of those 4 rars offcourse, content doesn't matter it's the encoding time :up:
You can try the Vantage video ( it's 5min 42s ) [ don't remember Badaboom's normal edition resolution limits, hope it's within ]
http://www.benchzone.com/Downloads/V..._Run_Video.wmv
That's also 90mb :)

Another great thing about her is she had, what I like to call, Nicole Kidman syndrome there for a while. Almost every movie with her had nudity.
Ow really, didn't know that :gheghe:
Serieusly I didn't ;)
BenchZowner what settings do you want?
Let me set up the other rig with the GTX's and I'll let you know asap ( I shall be ready in 10 minutes or so ).
Tried this one here. http://ia300116.us.archive.org/2/ite...s/purge001.avi
About 46 FPS processed.
Dling now will edit with results when done, sorry for being such a :am:
Fluctuates around 27 atm think it will give a better indication when done?
I ran it at apple TV. No other options messed with. Selected FIle> and selected apple TV> then hit start.
just finished at 29.5 at the same settings I fold with :up:
A bit of a different category but still "CUDA" enabled;)
http://www.elcomsoft.com/edpr.html
start cracking:eek:
SocketMan that is old news :p:
One of the me and Angra talked about is what cuda can do for a home user, and other then encoding, password *recovery* would definetly be on the list.
29.5, FPS?Quote:

Its got to be 29.5 FPS he mentions... cos his posts are less than 29mins apart form DLing it, to processing it. I reckon it took him 12mins.
I haven't tried the same file on those settings to see what it is on my 88GTX. Maybe so. :shrug:
Did you guys settle on an input file and standard settings? I'll be happy to run the benchmark on some cards.
If the file isn't too huge I can help with hosting, also.
Post 32. Its a 10 min clip. What we did, to keep things simple, was just open Badaboom, seletc Apple TV, pick the input file and hit start. The converter doesn't have a visible timer for tiem elapsed, so I opened up the clock and took note. :) We're just looking for ball park times at this stage. G80vsG92vs etc etc :)Quote:
