Solve : Can a Discrete Video Card help with converting video?

Answer»

Sometimes, I convert video on my PC because recording video on the CAMERA is in QuickTime Format and I NEED it in a MPEG or Windows Media format because the video editor will only do it in Windows Media or MPEG or AVI.

...Can a Discrete Video Card help with converting video?
Do you mean like a video card that DRIVES a monitor?Isnt that what they all do? You mean a video card that would plug into a pci slot or something? I would have to say, probably not. I know a new cpu will help for sure though.Here is one of many shareware programs.

There are lots, and lots more. Most are FREE!The answer is both Yes and no.

It really depends on the program you use.

For instance, I use Avid Liquid, 7.2, this uses the video card for rendering....FAST.

Most video EDITING applications will be able to utilize the graphics card for a good speed boost, video converting programs however, may or may not.
