Adobe Premiere Pro using FirePro V7750 and Stream 4X acceleration for encoding at SIGGRAPH 2009

Last year I worked with student volunteers at SIGGRAPH to blog about what was happening at the show and in particular in the AMD booth.  This year they are armed with video cameras.

Below is the first in the series of videos I am publishing. It is Adobe Premiere running on a 12-core AMD Istanbul processor and an ATI FirePro V7750 with the Stream encoding plug-in.

Twitter-style take away: Using a FirePro card and Stream plug-in, process an MPEG or H.264 to BlueRay in 1/4 of the time it would normally take. In other words if you have a 4 hour render, you can do that now in about an hour.
