Is there a (preferably free) video converter which takes advantage of Quick Sync and is a one click process? I want to put a few of my DVD's on to a memory stick so I can take them around to my friends house to watch.
 
I don't know what Quick Sync is but I've been using Freemake and I love it - dead simple and does a cracking job!

Click to expand...

It's the technology Intel use to accelerate transcoding.

I'm not sure if I can take advantage of it though if I have a dedicated graphics card...
 
You can use QuickSync with a dedicated GPU installed, however:

The GPU portion of the CPU needs to be enabled (EG - A motherboard that supports the integrated HD GPU on the CPU)

There is something plugged into the On-Board GPU output and somethign actively being displayed on it.

In short:

Motherboard with IGPU support
Something actively connected to IGPU Port and displaying something
 
I think the MediaCoder I linked earlier does nVidia CUDA.

I was not aware AMD had any support from encoding apps yet and I think only the 7xxx series has any real HPC capacity anyway.
 
Found that RipBot264 has distributed encoding so you can spread the job throughout however many machines you have on your local network, 2 i5's and one i7 should make mince meat of the job :D
