QuickSync is pretty good at what it's designed for but there is one big issue with it : you can't use it on desktop if you have discrete gfx card in your system. AT indicates that intel may be preparing some sort of switch (software?) later on,so it may be resolved. On notebook this is not a problem,but majority of users won't use their notebooks for such a task anyway(or they will use it only when they really have no other choice).
