    Graphics Card Advice Required

    One of my ATI A-I-W has started it's way to the happy hunting grounds. So I'm considering buying a replacement. I do not need to have video capturing on board but I am interested to know what specs should I look for since I would want to do movie conversion and DVD authoring. I'm not interested in gameing ether.

      ATI are releasing the new 6000 line next month, so expect a whole bunch of price drops and some interesting new cards.

      That would be a good time to buy

              The 6000 series will be better at conversion than the current crop.
              Last time I tried video conversion with either the Nvidia card or the ATi card, they both generated large amounts of artefacts, the ATi one being unwatchable.

              This should be fixed with the next gen cards, since they'll use a different method of converting in HW.
              afaik.

              they each have their own software for transcoding, ATI one is free, the Nvidia one is Badaboom, and its free for a while, then you have to pay.

                  I do a lot of conversions using the eRightSoft Super converter control panel for ffmpeg, MEncoder, x264, ffmpeg2theora etc. Using it to encode MKV/MP3 files to play off our mediaserver/NAS works great, especially for the net-enabled Sony BR decks.

                  It can handle flv (handy for putting net videos like YouTube on DVD) and uses all the cores, and rather efficiently at that as it's pretty fast, and free. It's UI can be cryptic, but once you get used to it....

                  I agree: ATI 6xxx series.
