I would potentially consider the card if it really does all that is promised, however i wonder how much shipping would be.

BTW is the hardware semi programmable? I mean with the nvidia and ati stuff they originally only did mpeg2 acceleration but then with a change of drivers/software the same cards were able to deal with h.264. So i was wondering if some new beaut codec/format comes out could the card possibly help (with some software tweaks) If so i think you could have a real winner here.

Secondly could it do post processing on the image itself perhaps? Think of ffdshow setting like xsharpen and postprocessing but on the card itself.
